True, but the formerly mainstream hunting and target shooting gun
culture has evolved into one that is mostly about fantasies about
killing people. Take a look at the covers of _American Rifleman_

days. They look like the old covers of _Soldier of Fortune_.

Have you forgotten about Redskins and Nazis?


The magazines are not "about killing people"...but about firearms of
interest at the moment.

Firearms focused on killing people.

Given the vast numbers of firearms suitable
for combat..generally against an onrushing totalitarian
government..thats what the interest is currently.

Nutjobs who fantasize about killing elected representatives. Like
Larry, for instance.


As for "fantasies"...snicker..hunting mags used to be about fantasies
of taking the All American Five...so whats the difference?

The All American Five are animals. The difference is that today's
gun-toting fantasies are about killing *people*.

At least
todays magazines are suitable for self defense purposes. As are the
firearms.

Right. They're all about killing people.


The crime rate continues to fall like a rock down the well..but on the
other hand..the feral government keeps getting bigger. Figure the need
in the near future.....

There's the fantasy I'm talking about. You're one of the low-rent
knuckle-draggers who fantasize about shooting people.

That's the change in gun culture that we were discussing. It's gone to
hell.
