This is the inevitable flipside of what Michael Bane calls "Gun Culture 2.0"Originally Posted by jmjames
Gun Culture 1.0 was a bunch of grey-haired guys who met at the Sportsman's Club once a month to do monkey-grooming rituals regarding the bylaws, bust some clays with their Perazzis, and form a committee to get the 100-yd range cleaned off next month so they could get their rifles sighted in before deer season. We almost lost our guns on their watch.
Gun Culture 2.0 plays Call of Duty, watches Sons of Guns, and gets a CCW because it's frickin' cool. They memorize Zombieland, have blogs, go to Boomershoot, and know who Dave Sevigny, Larry Vickers, and Julie Golob are. If the price I gotta pay for this reinvigorated, hard-votin' demographic pumping new life, money, and piss & vinegar into a formerly dormant firearms industry is a PGO Mossberg shotgun with a retarded-looking fore-end, then I say slap some rails on that thing and call it the "Zombie Slayer".

Dude. You should have to put $20 in the d-bag jar for that comment.

I don't get it when people insist that every new shooter in the world does nothing but help our cause, then act completely flabbergasted when a manufacturer starts selling something (however ugly or ridiculous it may be, mind you) that could well bring a load of new shooters on board.
I certainly won't buy one of these things, but maybe someone will decide it's the gun they've been waiting for to start shooting.
I don't understand what's happening, but I have a soldering iron.
I agree, it's great that it's bringing in more people to the firearms community, and it's great that it's injecting oodles of cash into it too. When a manufacturer is getting piles of money from selling low end zombie junk, then hopefully that means that they will have the financial muscle to do serious R&D, QA, etc. on more high end stuff. I've worked in enough industries supported by the "blockbuster model" to get it.
The flip side is, a lot of these folks are cringe inducing for the average non-shooter, and they make my lift difficult and uncomfortable as well. I'd hate to bring someone to the public range to try some rifle plinking for the first time and get what I got the last time I was there... a pickup truck full of zombie cowboys with their Bushie ARs and Mossberg PGO 500's, spamming the range so hard that I could finish a book before I'd get to go change a target. It was miserable. Nearly every time I go to the public range, this is what I have to contend with. Unless I somehow get a membership at one of the few private ranges by me, I might as well not even own a rifle because I can't work up the motivation to take the time and effort to go to the range. The only safe haven that is publicly accessible seems to be the skeet range...

You should get this to go along with your Stoeger. Your armory would be something out of a Tarantino movie.

This. Maybe if Netflix does in fact bring Firefly back, it can be Zoe's new hogleg.Part of me says it's goofy as dammit and part of me wishes it came out ten years ago so it could have been a prop on Firefly.
This was pretty much my reaction upon seeing that abortion.
Hey! Be nice! I love my Bushmaster AR!
(Unlike the rest of the shooters in my local 3-gun/Multigun matches, my AR has never screwed up a stage for me. *I've* certainly screwed up stages, but it was never the gun's fault.)
...that all being said, I know what you mean.The larger private ranges also have this issue, which is why I can be normally found on the pistol bays, where I get a bay to myself---and the guy-who-is-teaching-his-girlfriend-to-shoot-badly along with the group-of-guys-with-their-new-"G-Lock Fotays"* can shoot in different bays to their heart's content.
