I know that the "establishment" from the top down, is very anti gun, this is not a secret. As part of an strong anti gun culture, is the view that guns are "killing machines" and serve no other purpose. So shooting sports are discouraged, and if you participate in them, your "suspect" or some kind of "gun nut"

So poor marksmanship and poor gun handling goes hand in hand with with a very real lack of skills. After all, why would you want too shoot?? (in their eyes)
