thanks for the kind words! my son is growing up around guns, as is my 9yo daughter though she never shot one... I'm waiting for my .22 suppressor to be approved and then I will introduce her to the sport, she's not really interested in them much plus I think starting her off with a quiet gun will be easier on a girl
as for me, I did not have an opinion about nor have I even shot a gun until I was in my early 20's. I shot one for the first time 5 or 6 years after coming to the USA and that's sort of when it all clicked for me and when my political views suddenly all fell into place. I've been shooting ever since and guns and taxes were the reasons why I left the north-east...
