Take a general group of folks off the street. Any age, any sex, any income level mix them together. Say about 25 to 50 people. Ask them how interested they are in Obama or space travel or cute stories about bartenders and their dogs and how concerned they are that they have the most effective shotgun for home defense. You think then you might get some clue how fucked up gunner talk is to normal people?
