Former Marine work buddy, I'll call him Mr. Tentacles, because he is an untoppable Eldritch Force in the same vein as Cthullu. No really. He's 6 foot 7, 300 pounds and lethal*. Anyway, his missus is, "simply afraid of guns. The thought of handling them makes her sweaty."
She was watching a cooking show. On the TeeVee. Not sure of the name. Pioneer Woman or Frontier Woman or summat. Anyway, after the feast of grilled meats they blew off steam skeet shooting. The wife beat the husband in a friendly competition. And then they showed all the kids going up and taking their turn busting clays. One of the kids looked as young as 10.
Mr. Tentacles asked the missus "how watching that made her feel and she actually said is made feel better and MORE comfortable to see the parents were comfortable supervising their kids with their shotguns."
One hoplophobe at a time is being converted. Because of a TV show. This is how our side wins.
That's pretty cool - desensitization by TV show.

ReplyDeleteit was Pioneer Woman, and his missus should read her blog. there have been posts in the past regarding firearms and how they're a pro-gun family.
