What attracts you to the luger?

Hello,

Very interesting thread.

I think as a side question, we should ask what makes a gun nut or not? Regardless of our interest we have people interested in firearms and the other group that wants to take them away, we have shooters and collectors. My interest in firearms goes back to when I played cowboys and indians around the end of WWII. The cowboy movies and war movies I am sure influenced my interest.

Why is it we have this group of people so interested in any firearm? Does it go all the way back to our forefathers? Why do we have those people so dead set againist firearms that we cannot understand why?

I am not sure about the younger generations. Will our interest with young people continue in the future as collectors? One of the mind sets of some of the younger people are to use the firearm to committ horrible crimes. Many things are involved here that I didn't have to deal with when I was a young man. Our society has canged so much in my lifetime.

I can remember in the late 1950's when I was in high school we had a rifle team which I enjoyed very much. Shortly after leaving high school the Reserve Officers Training Corp (ROTC) was eliminated. This resulted from an attitude in the country and the early beginning of some of the gun control we see today. It has been like a termite eating away at our rights as gun violence has increased.

So, I like firearms, I am a gun nut, I do not intend to use them in a violent manner except for protecting my country and family.

I just like guns and I quess I should say I am sorry, but I want.

Good Day,
Chester
