Football fans in Texas for the World Cup have been embracing American gun culture, flocking to a Dallas shooting range for an experience “we don’t get in England”.
The DFW Gun Range and Academy in Dallas has hosted a “little conga line of multi-cultures”, with various teams’ fans visiting since the World Cup started.
Staff member Carlos Castaneda reported that visitor numbers have “kicked up” notably in the past two days, coinciding with the arrival of Three Lions supporters.
Matthew Connell, 28, from Preston, said that the shooting range was “packed with fellow England fans”.
“It’s been hot, it’s been very hot,” he said.
“It’s full of English fans here. You can tell everyone’s just come down here to try it out because it’s something we don’t get in England and it’s really good.”
…
Mr Connell said the trip had highlighted cultural differences between the United States and England.
He said: “Even though you look at America and think it’s quite similar to England, it is a massive change in culture.
“The size of the cars being one thing, the big SUVs they drive.
“And the whole gun culture – like here, the way they all talk about it, it’s just so normal for them and it’s like, wow.”
….
Mr Castaneda said the World Cup had brought in an influx of overseas visitors.
“The last few days have been hectic – the Netherlands, the Japanese and now the British,” he said.
“It’s fun – it’s like a little conga line of multi-cultures. It feels like we’re hosting a very, very big get together.”

“He shoots! He scores!!!”
They'll return home with the seed of liberty planted in their minds.
Hopefully someone lets them know the liberals want to take that away from US citizens. Odd that so many visitors think this is an awesome place while only 28% +/- dems are proud to be citizens. Once they find a better place, they should go there. 🛫✈🛬
That’s fine. Enjoy your visit then gtfo.
Dont kid yourself. They like our cool stuff but still hate our guts and believe in the utopia.
Europistan rising?
They’d probably rather do that than play soccer...Good shooting!
I’d happily trade these foreign shooters for Pelosi, Biden, Obama, Willard, Schumer, AOC, Springsteen. And a few others.
Most English fans are conservative, and are no fans of the Wanker at Number 10.
Happy and frightened for them.
That’s false. Many realize having seen America for the very first time, that their own media has been lying to them for years.
They will be like people from the Soviet Union who visited the US. First, they think it’s not real. Then they are awed. Then they go back home and wonder why they don’t have what we have.
Europeans have been told that every American is one doctor visit away from bankruptcy.
Eh, the tall guy shoots down and left.
Probably recoil anticipation.
Ditto for Vegas - used to see signs driving in from So Cal advertising gun ranges - in English and Asian languages. Apparently going to a gun range is a very population tourist activity for Asians and is often included in their tour packages.
When I was in high school in the 1950s, we had compulsory marksmanship training. All boys learned riflery.
That would be great but it will never happen.
When I went to high school in the 1970s in upstate New York, no one freaked out, put the school on lock-down, and called LEO if someone drove to school with a rifle or shotgun racked in the rear window. This was standard back then during the fall deer and pheasant season and spring turkey season.
What a bunch of idiots. Posting pics and stuff, they’re probably getting arrested and investigated as soon as they land back home!
