Engaging the Changing ‍Face of Gun‌ Ownership in America

[DadSmith]

Gun ownership is evolving.

In Ashburn, Virginia, the XCAL building appears unremarkable next to the massive Topgolf net. Yet, inside lies a surprising array of amenities: shooting ranges, a tactical range, a fitness center, a m

The ⁣changing face of gun ownership in America is a reflection of the evolving societal landscape. It⁤ is a ⁢testament to the fact that individuals ‍from all walks of life are recognizing ⁣the importance of self-defense, ⁢empowerment, and ⁢community engagement through gun ownership.

The 2A is a right for all people. It is a good sign when more people choose to start exercising it.

We are a big tent.

We are a big tent.

And we need to continue that way. I am always encouraged when gun-rights organizations reach out to non-traditional gun owners. The more we can get people of all walks of life into the benefits of firearm ownership, the more we can hope to change voting patterns.

Been a lot of talk about Gun Culture 2.0 and how it's not just about hunting and Camp Perry shooting anymore. The new epicenter of the culture is concealed carry and self defense, and it's onramping people into everything from tactical training to combat sports and fitness to comms and preparedness.

Honestly I think gun rights would be toast if it weren't for Gun Culture 2.0, video games, and YouTube. The hunter crowd would have negotiated and traded and capitulated everything away to keep their O/Us and bolt guns.

Gun culture 2.0 is simply a slow move back to gun culture mod 0. A recognition of the actual meaning of the 2nd Amendment, and it's applicability to ALL lawful citizens.

While the Constitution was written in a time of horrible treatment of black people, the document itself is amazingly color blind.....I've never considered gun ownership a black, brown, or white thing...it's an American thing....

"Gun Culture 2.0" has had quite an influx of new members, over the last few years.
There was already an ever growing contingent of women joining, as evidenced by the plethora of products brought to market and squarely aimed at women. Firearms, holsters, alternative carry methods, and training models, all tailored to suit the female gun owner.
Add in the former non-gunners who were forced to reconsider their positions by Covid and BLM/Antifa's "Summer of Love and Mostly Peaceful Protests" and suddenly new gun owners were everywhere.

All that remains to be seen is, now that the immediacy of those events has waned, how many will stick around? We all need to do what we can to engage these people and keep them on the road to liberty.

And, then there was Gun Culture 3.0...Covid panic-purchases and rolling shootouts on 465.

Not all hunters are Fudds.

But sadly, a really bad stereotype of minority gun owners was and somewhat is associated with gang members, gangsters and street hoods. Complete with what I call the ghetto shooting stance. Firing 10 + rounds with maybe hitting their intendent target once, with a lot of collateral damage in the wake. Alot of white people (not necessarily white gun owners) never could see these people as responsible gun owners. I can't tell you how many times I was at the range in Nashville Tn and a group of black people would come in. And you could tell they were first timers with a gun. And mimicking what they have seen on TV and rap videos. I feel education for all is the key to change this stereotype. And I am glad to see it happening.

When Nadler would ask Lee, "you would use guns against American troops?", then you know they do not understand the 2A...

I love the expansion of gun ownership. This has been a long- standing trend that individuals don't really know how to unbox. That tickles the hell outta me.

Still the main reason I buy guns without paper work!

One thing I have done at ISPRA is to get the organization more comfortable in reaching out to "non-traditional" gun owner sub-sets.

Should have been done long ago.

There's a thread on this sub about a newish "all are welcome" / inclusive gun club in the WLaf area...
