I grew up in a rural area, learned to hunt, liked guns, even reloaded my own ammunition. Now I live in the suburbs, sort of, don't hunt anymore, and only have a couple handguns I use to shoot at tin cans. As more and more people live in urban areas, fewer of them will see the need to have firearms. Of course, the NRA wants them all to buy Glocks to defend themselves against young men wearing hoodies, but most people realize they don't want to be like George Zimmerman.
