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

I've fired an M-16 and M-60 in training. Also a couple of pistols. But I haven't held a gun in at least ten years. It's just a tool to me and one I've never had any use for. I can appreciate a nice gun just like I can appreciate a tablesaw, but I only have use for the latter.
