I don’t want to provoke an argument with anybody. I didn’t start this thread. Adam asked the question.
Adam, you are the last generation of shot gunner. All the shooting sports will be history in 25 years. Enjoy it while you still can.
In order for this prediction to become true, all of those millions of folks who are right now packing into gun shows and emptying the shelves of gun shops would have to collectively roll over like whipped puppies. To me, this is a pure defeatist attitude, and no way to approach anything deemed worthwhile.
The formula to turn back the current tide is simple. Join NRA... there is strength in numbers. Expose a kid to the shooting sports, and in most cases, they will be begging to participate again. Call, write, and e-mail your legislators. More than anything, they want to be re-elected. Tell them your future support is conditional, depending on their support for your 2nd Amendment Rights. Say that to them politely, but firmly... and mean what you say. Stay engaged, and never give up. Virtually no one who has given up and predicts the death of shooting will do any of the above. That's sad. Winning at anything doesn't just happen without some effort.
Meanwhile, total ownership of all guns has increased by a third in only the last 10 years. Supply and demand is still working just fine with doubleguns. No one is giving any away yet. It's not even trending that way.
