I never really did either until went to a gun show for the hell of it and saw an m1 garand. The age and character in it was unbelievable. I was totally in awe of the history behind the rifle and had to have one. The first time I shot it was amazing.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if the anti-gun crowd who fears guns like the plague (I'm not implying you fit that description loquitur) actually went out and shot one once. Or maybe studied the history behind the United States along with other countries and realized what an important part of history guns are. Guns are a symbol of freedom.
Who knows, maybe some of them would change their mind?
