A lot of women seem to hate guns?

Bolt action rifles, lever action, pump action, self loading rifles and other miscellaneous longarms.

people in general can be brainwashed to fear what they don't understand, politicians and the media is great at it. I'm yet to meet someone who's prepared to try shooting and doesn't enjoy it and say "I don't know what I was scared of"

Take them out and let them try and hit a clay with a shotgun or knock over a steel chicken with a .22 off the bench and they'll change their tune given the chance

Women who love women hate guns.
I've got 2 ladies keen to learn shooting, 1 is mad keen to try clays after Australia's gold medal my a lady in Trap shooting. The other I have pointed towards the try pistol shooting program at St Mary's. Even if neither of them take up the sport then it's still a victory as at least they'll get an education and better understanding of the sporting side of firearms.

After every comm or ollies, there is ALWAY a surge in memberships, and 'try outs' of shooting..... I reckon the SSAA and other clubs 'bank' on the membership increases...(always a good thing, more shooters, obviously)

I'm highly offended by the depiction of that tshirt... could someone please ask her the remove the depiction of roses?

...a simple horizontal cut just under the gun barrels would be appropriate. :P

My missus likes guns. She likes watching movie and TV shows with gun violence, specially movies about hit men and bank robberies. It has me a little worried.

Something to to with marathon sessions watching violent shows. Other week it was two series of Narcos on netflix, back to back. I'm starting to think it's BPD with OCPD traits and we have a lot of knves around the house :D

I think the premise that women hate guns is flawed, but I can't help but wonder if there might be some sort of correlation between the number of hours someone spends watching TV (especially talk back shows, news, current affairs, etc) and their distaste for firearms.

My missus is neither here nor there on the subject of firearms which is good by me as I don't have to fund the both of us shooting :)
