Generally, most gun owners and hunters in America seem to come from a long line of American born and bred hunters and gun owners. While it's always good to keep positive traditions alive, how much new blood comes into hunting or gun ownership really?
You don't often see immigrants getting into hunting or guns, nor do their American-born children.
This is bad, because as a nation that gets a lot of growth from immigration, it's not good to have a huge many people apathetic or against hunting or gun ownership. Also, if like one guy in a long line of American hunters neglects to take his children hunting, they will also be unlikely to get into in their lives.
I personally hope to be an exception to this rule, when I'm 18 I will almost certainly purchase a .22 and want to get into hunting by the time I'm 23.
But how can we get more Americans who don't have hunting or guns in their family into hunting and guns.
