So, what, exactly, is the gun culture?

86. Beats me

I don't know if you'd ever find a consensus on whet the term means. I guess to some, I might be considered part of the "gun culture". To others I may simply be an antique collector. Most of the weapons I own are 19th century arms and modern replicas. I have a real affinity for single action revolvers and lever action rifles. I have a few more modern arms, 1911 Colt, Browning Hi Power and a Ruger 10-22 also. My collection isn't as big as it once was, I sold some of them off several years ago.

I have no interest in the modern "assault style" rifles as some like to call them. Nothing against those that like them, just not my cup of tea.

These days I mostly shoot .22LR. It's cheap and fun target shooting. I have a Henry Golden Boy with a large loop lever that I spend a lot of time plinking at cans with.

On the other hand, I don't hang around at the gun store and range and I've never made a run on semi-auto rifles, magazines or ammo because I was afraid there would be a shortage because of such and such law. I don't carry a gun with me everywhere I go. I fully support background checks for all sales, new and used, both dealers and private.

And yes, there are a couple pieces I am currently lusting after. I want an authentic Spencer .50 Carbine and a Colt 1851 Navy
