General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I'm still trying to wrap my head around so many staunchly pro-gun folks on DU [View all]lexw
(804 posts)I was walking with my dog, and passed by two men who were talking outside of their garage with a four-wheel drive truck parked out front (the garage was filled with off-road equipment). I caught a few sentences of their conversation: they were talking about guns. I thought to myself "Here comes the hateful NRA talk." However, the topic on hand was that they were convincing themselves that they were "hobby" owners of guns.
One guy said "I have a such and such pistol and this and that..."
The other replied, "See? It's a hobby for you."
I was shocked. I thought for sure they were going to be pissed about the anti-gun movement, instead, they sounded embarrassed by the folks who own arsenals.
I should be ashamed, as I guess I was profiling.
Happy New Year, DU'rs.
