Why are millennials so uninterested in firearms?

>>33638564
because much like OP, they're faggots.

>>33638564
Mostly because we can't afford them, or anything really.

I got the barreled action and stock set for $50 at a gun show, the bolt and butt plate and barrel bands I got for free from friends. The bore on it is mint but the build has taken some work to get this far and the parts are damn hard to get. Still need a nosecap, mag tube spring and bolt spring cover to complete it. They run around $450 in really good shape.

>>33638736
that's pretty cool mang. I'm in nyc and I'm the only person in my social group who's ever owned or handled a gun. Very few of my friends even like firearms much less want to go shooting. It strikes me as weird that they detest guns, but seem to love movies glorifying guns as magical solutions for every problem.

At least my girlfriends are ambivalent.

In the event of national collapse and ensuing foreign invasion, Montana will be the Afghanistan of this continent.

I actually do have a theory though:

The .22 shortage and gun panic induced price spikes on everything ruined the marksmanship training of a generation of new shooters.

>>33638615
They don't because they know you like traps

>>33638862
Agreed. Even old ladies got guns here. You go to help the 80 year old lady across the street bring in her groceries ad shes got her dead husbands loaded side-by-side on the mantlepiece.

guns are in line with baseball card collecting these days as a hobby

>>33638564
From my perspective they are more interested in them than their parents are.That may be because I'm in a rural area. Here, their parents own a rifle and shotgun but the millennials own handguns and AR15s.

>>33638877
It's a good theory. I def don't shoot my 10/22 much. I got it when I was 16 back when the ammo was plentiful. 20 y/o with 6 gats.

Also they're expensive for millenials, we don't have big bank accounts.

Increasing dependence, aversion to risk and competition, docility, low testosterone, depression, seeking instant gratification, simple/small social networks, easy life (don't have to think ahead), delayed maturity, more intelligence, more people living in cities, political polarization (young people are much more political these days), and more tolerant of others.

I'm 24, live in California, own a Corvette, play guitar, and own a 92FS. My next gun will be a 357 revolver or a 44 revolver and then a Remington 870 after that. Yeah, they're kinda "basic", but at least they're tried-and-true, reliable, and not made of plastic like a "LOL WATCH ME BLOW MY OWN FUCKING HAND UP XDDD" polymer Glock. Not all millennials are bad and not all Californians are bad. I hate our stupid laws as much as everyone else does. A lot of us want them gone, but it's getting tougher and tougher to get guns over here with such a small roster and a price hike on everything under the sun.

Took me until senior year of high school to be interested in cars. desu, most millenials who grow up able to afford said cars are drilled to think about college all their school life. Basic car knowledge isnt too hard, but building one as a project or pointing at random parts and asking its name is hard when your father never laid the foundation during the age where knowledge is easily absorbed.

It would explain why poor people have all the tricked out mazdas and shit while rich chad buy ZL1s or Cobras and, at most, add a custom exhaust or rims. Or they never touch it.

They don't, just pointing out that you don't need to spend a terrible amount to have a collection. People here seem to be shocked that a 20 year old can afford so many guns, when in reality most people aren't dropping $3k on a custom AR for every purchase. Hell, even Ian only buys things that are both interesting and exceptionally good deals at the time. He seems to avoid buying popular rifles when they become popular.

>>33640184

Your "point" is irrelevant because there aren't any fresh imports being hocked online anymore, period. They're old surplus rifles. You might as well be complaining that you can't find needle rifles any more for under $800 because Cabela's and Classic Firearms don't sell them online.

But they are interested in firearms?
Video games and media have created a huge resurgence of interest in firearms in that generation, which had previously been waning from the boomers onward.
This rising trend will probably continue into generation Z as all data suggests they are going to be the most conservative generation in at least 60 years. A telling sign is that the gun grabber's much loathed "assault weapons" have largely become household items or at the least, common place.
The left is focusing on the LOUD minority of ultra leftist millennials for a reason.

23 here
Got a job that pays well, so I used to take the extra spending money and buy milsurp investments. Buy, sell, trade. I've gone through maybe 60 surplus rifles.

Since prices skyrocketed a couple years ago, I quit dealing with milsurp. This is all I have left. I can't bring myself to pay today's prices.

This doesn't include my few modern guns. Or milsurp pistols.

They are interested in firearms. FPS games are easily the most popular among American men. It's like a ritual right of passage to stick a plasma grenade to your friend or play online team death match with your neighbor.

I guarantee every kid on my block over the age of ten could load and shoot an airsoft pistol in under 60 seconds their first time handling it.

Seriously. Give them guns and they will be stoked as fuck. Jews gave them porn and drugs first so you now have to compete with those cheap thrills.

I smoked weed way before I ever got a firearm. I always loved guns though.

>>33640752
Right, I feel you. My thing to ask is "where were you on 9/11?" If they can't answer that in anything but abstracts, I'm not going to be able to identify with them.

But we sure as hell ain't gen X. Most of our youth was spent without technological mediation, true, but it came around early enough that we took to it with ease. Compare that to some late 30s/early 40s fucks that legitimately have trouble navigating e-mail in (current year). We fundamentally understand the degradation of privacy in a way GenXers have trouble with, but we're not as comfortable with it as millennials.

Like I said, I think we're that uncomfortable in-between. To the hipster-americans, we're insufferably old-school. To the GenX, we're entitled millennials. We don't even have a word for where we fit in.

If it's true that we fit in society based on how society accepts us, we're Schrodingers' millennials. Simultaneously millennial and not.

Keep in mind generational classification is a pretty big generality, there will always be people who identify as seperate sub-groups.

I didnt get my first cellphone until right before I shipped out for MCRD in 2010. I grew up with tech available and posessed an understanding of how it worked but im from a small poor rural area in Montana, it was always something occaisionally accessible but not personally owned by most.

While the millinials were "finding themselves" in college and transforming into SJWs as politics devolved into polarized tribal conflicts I wasnt even in the country. For most of it I was either on a combat deployment or home and training for another combat rotation.

I was gone or not available for long enough that the damned country I left behind was gone by the time I EASed. Came home to find out the timber mill had died, the pleasant insulated community around it had dispersed leaving behind only white trash meth heads and a few stubborn die-hards who refuse to admit the good old days in our pocket of what used to be near rockwellian americana are gone.

I dont identify with these blue haired facial pierced crazies, but im also very definiteley not an EXer. I guess its pretty normal for vets to feel displaced and unrelatable but I just really dont meet anyone I feel I entireley see eye to eye with.

Also, kind of like how in america a guy making 20million a year will swear up and down hes middle class like being upper class is a dirty insult, millinials tend to refuse identification as such. Its pretty telling you can walk up to the faggiest nu-male with neon pink hair and a dozen wifi connected devices stuffed into his pockets and he will argue with you for an hour about how he was born in 1989 so that makes him part of generation X. Even the most millinial millinials dont want to be called a millinial. I prefer to call it "the turd in the punchbowl" generation. Nobody wants to deal with this shit.

Born in 98, don't know what the fuck generation I am, me and mates all own at least a deer rifle, shotgun and a 22. As for most people I went to school with, I think they'd rather spend their money on cars and iPhones.

I've been interested in firearms for a long time because anything mechanical gives me a boner, especially seeing slow motion gif on this board. But i don't have any because my parents aren't liberal but aren't pro gun either, I guess you can say that they merely tolerate guns. But there have been multiple shooting and gun shots around my area sof maybe I'd be able to talk them into one. I also live in socal so I'm pretty sure if I mentioned guns in a public area I'd be swatted.
I'm 19 btw

They do like them, lots of them do. I'm 22, a libtard, and I have six guns. I grew up in redneck city where kids would show up to high school in camo and orange jackets because they were hunting deer earlier in the morning.

All that shit about coddled school kids and helicoptor parents? Didn't really exist and we were still referred to as latch key kids in the 90s.

Generation Y was an ever creeping term as time went on
>Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe are widely credited with naming the Millennials.[1] They coined the term in 1987, around the time children born in 1982 were entering preschool
> and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the new millennium as the high school graduating class of 2000
>In August 1993, an Advertising Age editorial coined the phrase Generation Y to describe those who were aged 11 or younger
Now even people born in the 70s are Generation Y
>Synchrony Financial which describes Millennials as starting as early as 1976
>MetLife which uses birth dates ranging from 1977–1994
>Nielsen Media Research which uses 1977–1995

Historically democrats have always been the racist party and Republicans the party that does the most for black people. While there are some Republicans that might be considered racist, for the most part their platforms have always been either neutral or beneficial to minorities. It's just a meme that Republicans are racist and I think that the whole "minorities only vote democrat" thing started with LBJ and since then democrats have used every meme in the book to make Republicans out to be this evil band of white racists keepin' the black man down. However it's arguable that democrats in modern times are the only ones actually doing that, and has to do in large part with their irresponsible pandering and policies towards minorities.

Fun fact, southern Democrats were historically racist as fuck. However, when the south started to become less racist, there was a proportionate rise in the Republican party's popularity. The most racist people you can find in the south are generally older folks that still adhere to "southern democrat" principles and will vote democrat until the day they die.

Thomas Sowell and Dinesh Dsouza both tough on this, if you'd cared to look into it more.

Bernie isn't exactly the worst grabber out there, but he's probably still a grabber--and after Kikeberg threatened to quote "spend upwards of $1 billion dollars" to fuck up the election, he promptly started shilling for gun control.

That's true, and there are a lot of worthless courses out there. But at the same time you still need to study and have a career in something you tolerate at least, if not enjoy. There's no point in spening so much of your waking life doing shit you hate. I just left a job that afforded me fairly good, well above average for this commie shithole, financial independence for someone in their early 20s. Because I hated it. I'm going to do a course that will get me into land management and conservation because it's something I enjoy, but I'll be lucky if by 30 I am earning what I was at 24, much less what I would be had I stayed in my previous job.

Today's economy is not conducive to having lots of spare money, the 80s and 90s were a gift that's rarely been seen in modern history. Every other period of time has been spent going in and out of financial crises and recessions of varying severity.

You might strike gold in the US territories. I know PR is literally full of wildlife and undeveloped land, with at least 1 or 2 National Park Tropical rainforests like El Yunque. Our laws may be retarded in terms of getting a renewable permit (Some can be expensive. Also registration and ammo registration but you can bypass that with online sales), but what makes us better is that we don't have the mag and features restrictions of firearms. The local community is also willing to help you out in the process and our firearm store employees are bro tier. Also if you work for the government (National Park employees are included in this), you'll be able to get an automatic shall issue CCW from the court without paying a lawyer to prove you are eligible for CCW.

I'm 24, and coming up on buying my 21st gun. My friends like guns more thqn my older family members. I don't know what the fuck you're on about.

Most gun people my age want to talk about specific models and hipster calibers thanks to video games and autism, while most people my dad's age don't even know what guns they have beyond the caliber and manufacturer.

>>33642299

There's 2 milsurps in there, brah.

Damn satan bit salty in hell. Kidding aside lot of truth in college being pushed beyond it being useful paired with employers using a bachelors degree for a position that can be handled with a high school education or at most an associate's degree. This was useful back when you couldn't give iq or aptitude tests as part of the interview process without a lot of lawsuits and degrees were indicative of scholarly aptitude. Now with sjw tier degrees and colleges dedicated to rolling out numbers of questionable 4 year degrees the system is even more dysfunctional

It's a brave new world

Got any statistics to back that up?

>>33638627
Exactly. But it's like the auto industry asking why Millennials don't like cars. They can't afford them anymore. Most of the older ones migrated to large cities where cars and pistols are more difficult and expensive to own. They grab a light, cheap ccw for general use. Since keltec made the p3at that's been the fastest growing market.

>Why are millennials so uninterested in firearms?

i would say that you're hanging out with the wrong millennial's.
most of the ones i work with are VERY interested in weapons, one of the few areas i have in common with many of them.

Though actual statistics on the matter might prove me wrong, anecdotally most young people I know are at least mildly progun if asked directly even though the "common sense" meme has taken hold.

>>33642947
Reminds me of this article I read at the height of the recession by some writer with stable employment that was along the lines of "wow I can't figure out why unemployed kids with little job prospects aren't taking out ~$15,000 loans to get cars just to get laid like we did back in the day"

>>33642759
No one should blame others for their own poor decisions but "If you don't have a four year degree YOU WILL STARVE TO DEATH" was pushed really hard in schools. If you are young and haven't yet learned or been taught by your parents that adults and authority figures don't always have your best interests in mind/often don't have any idea what the fuck they are talking about this message could have left a pretty significant impression.

The shittiest most hyporitical thing the boomers did wasnt even the conversion from hippy to corporate greed-cuck. They didnt just abandon thier ideals to climb the corporate ladder, they turned around and pulled the ladder up behind them as soon as they got thiers.

They destroyed american manufacturing and shipped it all to china so thier goods could be cheaper, they oblitorated the job market by refusing to retire, theyre living waaaay longer and demanding the generations below them pay for thier retirement, healthcare, and groceeies via social security and medicare


They fist-fucked almost half a century of the most prosperous era in human history just to line thier own pockets then blamed following generations and demanded to be taken care of in old age.

I dont know about your school, but mine basically told a bunch of lower class kids every day that if they didnt go to college theyd be destitute and borderline homeless the rest of thier lives. They talked about college degrees as some sort of magical ticket to a garunteed 6 figure salary.

My kid-brother still goes there, theyre stikl telling these kids magical bullshit about how becoming a computer programmer is a garunteed lucrative career even though that hasnt been true since the 90's.
I joined the service and am now paying for my college without debt. Honestly, if you cant afford college without going into debt then a trade school or apprenticeship is a lot better option.

>>33644238
How difficult is it to guarantee that you get money for college when you join the military? Do they try to screw you over, or is it relatively hassle-free to receive tuition money? I'm assuming you're in the US

>>33644574
Yeah, US. Its easy, the hardest part is getting accepted to a college. Then you go to Ebenifits and apply for the post 9-11 GI bill (ought to do this 6 to 4 months prior to school starting).

2-3 months before school starts go in to the campus vets office and give them your DD-214. Even if the payment doesnt clear until a month or so after school starts they still wont put a hold on you or anything.

Biggest pain in the ass is the housing stipend, the earliest it shows up is 30 days late, and for me I was already at midterms before I started recieving my BAH. Other than that nothin to it.

Well aside from completing two combat tours back to back and finishing an enlistment of course. Actually earning it is the hard part, applying it is easy.

>>33644604
Sorry, forgot a step. After you get accepted to the school and your GI bill is approved ya gotta talk to a course planner from the school and enroll in a full credit load, then submit a letter of intent to the school vets office along with your DD-214.

>>33643916
Of what? I have the same number of buns, and most of them are the same as in pic

>>33644574
Varies but stay fit and out of trouble and they will pay more student loans than tuition

>>33644696
At that weird place NG gets after deployment where the Montgomery GI bill is better than the post 911 after ets. But already have the bachelors degree and a solid state gov job so any further school is for fun shit like gunsmithing or machinist training or flight school or whatever else suits my ADD and married fancy

>>33644604
>>33644742
Thanks anons. I've been accepted to 3 universities and started college right after high school, but couldn't keep paying after the first year. Worked for 4 years and went to a communtiy college for 2 years during that time until I couldn't afford to finish. Got into a university in a neighboring state and started working part time, but I (again) couldn't afford more than one semester. Trying to get residency in the new state, but even then with in state tuition I'd like to be able to go to school full time without working full time. I'm getting back into shape now to join the Air National Guard as soon as possible. ASVAB shouldn't be a problem when it comes time to take it and I'm fairly certain I can qualify for the jobs I've been looking at. Does this sound like reasonable plan? 6 year commitment to ANG while getting money for school and working part time?
>inb4 why don't you use FAFSA you moron
When I applied for FAFSA at the first schools I went to, I qualified for $255 per year, so it's not a feasible option.

>>33644790
Congrats man! Im still slogging through a bachelors in criminology with a minor in forensics.

Its fuckin easy, nobody expects jack-shit from college students, but its just so tedious. Listening to some new 19 year old lecture me on how the world works and how everyone but him is stupid.

Ive felt my spine straighten and my fingers lock into a knife hand on a lot of occaisions. But I reign it in and keep my mouth shut. Im not here to make friends or win fights, im just here to get a degree.

>>33644911
the NG and reserves dont pay full benifits, just FYI. Im no expert on how they break down dispersing rates but I think reserves get like, 1/3rd benifits unless you do a deployment or a long-term muster and rack up a lot of active duty days.

Right attitude and make sure the state you want to work for gives veteran preference and credits your federal time in their retirement system. As much as NY irks me they keep me employed way better than Delaware, Maryland, or Pennsylvania ever could with a similar degree to yours

>>33644948
Federal tuition assistance is 250 a credit up to 4500 for the year so time your classes. The national guard varies in tuition reimbursement but pass class C or better present paperwork and get what the feds didn't cover back depending on funds available. For Delaware I always got all tuition covered between the two

>>33645320
Yeah, I could get hired on as a flat-foot next week if I wanted (entire family in the area have been firefighters or cops since forever and everyone on the force already knows me). Thing is, law enforcement is becoming a technical field, so just an infantry background isnt gonna be enough in years to come. In the next 15 years its going to be very rare to meet a cop without a bachelors degree in law, criminal justice, or criminology outside of podunk 12 man sherriffs offices.

I think long run having a degree will make me a lot more promotoable down the line. My wife is a rich german lady but I dont wanna be some cuck who lives off his wife's bank account. Probably exactly why she married me.
