Don’t Worry. You Don’t Have to be a Gun Nut to Shoot Guns.

What do you envision when you hear or read the term gun nut? There is nothing wrong with being mildly obsessed with your hobby or sport, but there is nothing wrong with NOT being a gun nut either. I hope the word gun nut hasn’t scared off any new potential gun owners. You can own a gun. You can own two guns. Heck, you can own five guns and still not consider yourself a gun nut. Don’t get me wrong, I think we need to support our gun nutty sisters and brothers. And gun nuts, this goes for you too. If you know a gun owner whose passion is rock climbing don’t fault them for putting that passion first.

When the One You Love Doesn’t Love Guns

I haven’t dated anyone who hated guns and I don’t recommend that you do either. However, sometimes stuff happens. Maybe you got into guns later in life or you happened to fall head over heals for a guy or a gal where your shooting or hunting hobby just never came up (I’m not exactly sure how that happens, though). Regardless, you think it is about time you introduce guns to your loved one or guide your significant other learn to love guns as much as you do. Number one: do not expect to convert a gun hater to a gun lover. To avoid heartache and frustration, make it your goal to only take the fear of guns out of them and educate them about your sport.

Facts to Remember About Firearms Issues

The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry. Organizations such as the NRA, Second Amendment Foundation and National Association of Gun Rights may be better known to the average hunter and shooter, but none are more important to the fight for your Second Amendment rights. The NSSF has been a staunch supporter and has worked tirelessly to protect your rights.

Is the Second Amendent Really Doomed?

We thought there was a run on firearms back in March. I say thought, because as robust as sales were in March, those figures do not hold a candle to today’s numbers. There was a huge run that started just before the election. It increased substantially after President Obama’s re-election. Numbers were still high right up to the Sandy Hook shootings when they went off the charts setting new records.
