I do target shooting as a hobby but I'm genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it's culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

Yes. When I was a kid and early adult I was pretty heavily involved in Boy Scouts and fired guns a lot through that. My dad also took me hunting a couple of times. I haven't fired a gun in probably close to 20 years, though.

I would fire a gun if I had a need to, but I have 0 interest in doing so for recreation. I don't own a gun, and don't really have any interest in one.

yes i have fired, yes I own a few.

I own about 20 rifles and hand guns, mostly gifted. So 1. Yes, and 2. Sure, so long as you're a safe shooter.

What if someone tries to shoot the orange Cheeto?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They tried twice, and probably got him elected.

Successful = cheeto gone
