Hello THR!
Recently I stumbled across a post that accused folks of the younger generations (that would be me) as treating guns 'like toys' and that our lives 'revolve around video games'.
I posted a response, but admittedly it was off topic for that thread.
It seems that playing video games as children is believed (by some) to be the cause of an inability to be responsible with firearms.
So by that logic people who played video games = not responsible with firearms.
I figure that because 99.9999% of all serial killers drank milk as children then we can conclude that
Drinking milk as children = serial killer
or not, seeing as correlation does not equal causation...
I want to know what's up.
Why are people that played video games as a kid and that are 'first time fathers' and own 'plastic guns' viewed with such disdain?
I would think it damaging to the gun community and generally unwise to paint us all with such a brush.
I could be that my jimmies got rustled because I am of that age group and am responsible with firearms. As are my brothers... and friends...
Older generations have been complaining about newer generations since the beginning of time, but when it comes to the firearms community we need to be on the same team. Now more than ever.
So what gives?
Did someone just not get there Geratol that day or what?
