I think the whole in your face with guns thing a lot of gun rights people are pushing is a bad move and will eventually lead to a backlash.
Also the refusal even to increase screening to try to keep them out of crazies hands is a REALLY bad move if we continue to have more mass shootings.
I love guns. I like collecting them. Shooting them. Enjoy hunting.
There has always been a macho element in the gun culture, but anymore there is a really juvenile element.
Guys marching around with guns made to look like military guns and sending clips to politicians. Sheesh! Grow up.
I think it's a combination of things, but really, I think where we are more urban. Nobody hunts much anymore so there is this whole industry popping up that's all about paranoia and end times porn and selling guns that look like military guns to cater to that mindset.
Hell if you want to play soldier join the army and they'll let you shoot a real full auto and send you somewhere where people shoot back. Why play with semi automatic military knock offs and march around in some parking lot saying your are a patriot??
People need to grow up.
