    The gun culture in US is gun culture, not shooting culture

      I suspect the rate of gun wankers in the US that consistently go shooting is similar to that of truck wankers who actually use their truck for towing

        I think most of the gun owners shoot them, it's fun

        It's just more watermelons, soda bottles and tannerite and less a 6*6" cardboard 300 yards away

          Nah this is facts. Every gun enthusiast I've ever known except for myself, the person I consider the platonic 'other half of my coin', and my uncle in law have been can-plinkers. Not even ballistic gel-- though in fairness, in the case of the gun enthusiasts I've known that I'm not related to, I'd be worried if they were shooting at ballistic gel dummies anyway.

        Yes. The south has almost no public land to shoot. Because everyone is broke but has a shit ton of guns, and the only places are indoors, the rules are very restrictive. You can find many threads of gunowners from blue states being surprised when they move to Texas because they were promised no taxes (just very high property taxes to offset the others lol) and unlimited gun freedom

        Turns out they are indeed guaranteed the right to be a gun consumer. They just can’t shoot the gun lol.
