The number of people interested in all things gun-related is declining precipitously and I believe the reason is crystal clear...
Pay careful attention to the media and politicians when in the spotlight. Everything gun related is put in a negative light. If it's a cop show the first question they ask the "suspect" is, "Is this gun registered?" As if we all know that guns are "registered" everywhere instead of just in the police-state cities of NY, D.C. and Chicago.
Men who own guns are ALWAYS portrayed as beer-swilling imbeciles shooting at school buses through a drunken haze. And politicians ALWAYS talk about the 2nd Amendment is if it were a privilege granted to us by them.
There is no doubt about it. The national conspiracy to make people feel undesirable if they own guns or hunt is resoundingly successful and will only continue to convince people they don't want to own guns.
This is the same kind of subtle long-term brainwashing our beloved leaders and the media have engaged in for years with regard to the very definition of our country. Sound paranoid? OK, proof-in-point... Read the Constitution. Any mention of the word "democracy" in there anywhere? Of course not. The founders of this country hated the very idea of a democracy. They referred to it as "a tyranny of the majority". Yet do you ever hear politicians or talking heads refer to our "Constitutional Republic"? No! Never. It is always "democracy". Ask yourself why we are always trying to export "democracy" to other countries when we ourselves are NOT a democracy!!! It's simple. Either our leaders are monumentally stupid (OK, I admit that IS a possibility), or they are trying to lead us all down the garden path and are already very successful at it.
OK, I'll get off my soap box now. But the short answer is, there is a very good reason people are less and less interested in guns and hunting.
