Gun Culture 2.0


Recommended Posts

Interesting article...

Instead of the image of the white male father dressed in flannel taking his son off to the woods for the traditional deer hunt, the new image of gun ownership is much broader and more diverse. The members of the 2.0 gun culture are more likely to own an AR15 with a suppressor than a Winchester Model 70. And, you can rest assured that a new gen gun owner is likely to be carrying a Glock or KelTec when you run into them at the local coffee shop.

Yeh, that was good. I liked the point made about how the internet has killed the credibility of the mainstream news sources

and gotten more folks enlightened and interested in firearms, interestingly for the same good reasons.

That's it; anyone who wants to educate themselves on this subject or any other has unlimited information at their fingertips. Hopefully they have the intelligence to discern what is factual and what isn't, but the information is there if they are willing to put in the time to research it. People are finding out just how incompetent and lazy the mainstream news sources really are.

I think the article hit the nail on the head with this. Not sure if it had anything to do with the "sexy" gun industry. I think that was more of a combination of shifting tastes in gun owners and the industry creating a new market through advertising. Either way, it's clear that the energy behind the 2nd Amendment has been born again on the interwebz. All the better. Good article.

Other than that, I kinda want to use the goth chick as a play thing... she just has to cover her ears up.
