As you might expect, they weren’t that into it.
Before they entered the shooting range we got a little insight into their thoughts on guns, particularly gun control in America.
Across the board, it seems, they felt we need more gun control.
That being said, there were also some conflicting feelings about the experience.

It is called hoplophobia.
Not all liberals are anti gun but almost all those who are anti gun are liberals. I see the pajama boy dude in the video as someone who would fire a weapon once just so
he could pretend to have some credibility regarding weapons. We know liberals are self righteous so it is not a stretch
to believe a number of them have things they don’t want the rest of us to have. And most of us know people who compartmentalize their lives. They will always vote liberal because it fits their vocation but they also have non work related interests. Think about some government or union workers you may know.
Invite a Leftist to the range and you may just change his/her mind!
That title is kind of misleading because they all liked it. One said he felt like a badass. One said she felt like she feels before she rides a roller coaster.
Their shooting experience conflicted with their ideology. Good!
You’re absolutely right about that. LIbs love guns and aren’t afraid of a little genocide to further their goals. Their problem w/ guns is that you can have them.
No liberal I know of it anti-gun. At the core theyre murderers and if the truth be told will bluntly tell you that...guns are OK as long as they can have them and you cant. They see no problem ruling w/ whatever force is necessary.
I remember my first time. At the excellent gun club a few towns over, the youth team coach gave me safety instruction first, then put me on the range with a .22 rifle to try. I was 12 years old and had no experience with guns and was scared to fire because I thought the kickback would hurt my shoulder...
Coach chuckled and explained, took my hand and placed it the butt plate, then fired it down range so I could feel the amount of kick on my hand. I was amazed and pleased at the tiny kick, and quickly took to shooting like a duckling to water.
He was a fantastic coach, the best, taught us on the junior team safety above all. Being on the team, going to matches, shooting everyday- those are some of my fondest memories. He welcomed boys and girls alike onto the team without discrimination.
I guess my point is, one of the best ways to get more people to love the shooting sports is to be willing to teach girls and women, who might hesitant at first. Girls who love it grow up to be mothers who love it and teach their own children.
Thank you. You perfectly understood my point.
I still have the bolt action single shot .22 my Dad taught me to shoot with.
I think my older Brother has mine. Somehow, he managed to end up with the Family’s Gun collection.
When my Dad passed I claimed right of primogeniture and got the .22, the knife collection, the Whitney Dragoon pistol that was supposedly General Crook’s side arm and the antique fly rod. Eventually I’ll pass it on to my nephew but kids nowadays do not have an appreciation for that kind of stuff.
