Man arrested for 2x4 labeled "High Powered Rifle"
I think that's an overstatement. Most of the owners I know have self-defense and home defense as a priority, particularly in rural areas. The sport shooters like myself are a small minority of gun owners, in my experience. And the Second Amendment is important to a LOT of gun owners, even those who aren't preparing for the fall of civilization. I don't have a pressing need for the government to not read my email (4th Amendment), but I still have strong feelings about it. The Second Amendment is the same for me.
Of coworkers and old school friends who I happen to know own guns, I think I'm the only one who goes to the range on a weekly basis.
