You take the ignorant shooting, it shatters the lies the media tells them about guns
Everyone's ears perked up, so I did what any intelligent pro-rights activist would do — I asked the obvious question, "Who would like to join me for some shooting out in the desert?" I told them I could bring a variety of cool guns; I would insist on showing them how to handle them safely since they all but admitted abject ignorance, and we would have a blast shooting at cans in the desert. The gal from London was very interested, and squealed with delight that she had never even held a handgun, much less shot one. When people are availed the opportunity to act like free citizens, and shoot firearms, they accept the offer without hesitation. It's a freedom thing. Some people just don't understand. ... As we were packing up, I was showered with heartfelt thank yous and even some hugs from the gals. I could tell that I had given them an experience they would never forget. An experience it was sad they had never had before. As soon as we got back in the car, one of my clients clicked text messages madly to her father and her brother about her first gun experience. She kept asking me about what guns and calibers we shot so she could be sure to tell all her friends every last detail. How differently the world would look if the "news" didn't hide this reality so.

The best part of the whole article
Although my clients clearly had a "blast" with their first shooting experience, they didn't have more fun than I did, proudly explaining America's fine tradition of empowering the individual with firearms and standing up to "authorities" who were in reality elitist snobs bent on convincing them they were unworthy underlings.
