/K/ is the number one place where abnormal firearms enthusiasts congregate. Where did such people go before the internet? Where there rod and gun clubs that catered to people with very bizarre personalities?
Their local range, but once the internet grew popular and they grew older, they upgraded to running their local range and ruining it

Gun shows.

Your local range has too many normies. /k/ type people would probably be kicked off the range for making those normies uncomfortable.

No, just retarded fudds
>>34794164
Fudds ARE normies.

Public ranges are a zoo, normies belong to gun clubs.
Two of the regulars to my local range are a dirty, wild-eyed man who looks like homeless asian revolver ocelot and a sentra-driving NEET in a drug rug who just shoots his S&W 59 all day
People simply weren't as weird, since there weren't autismbux so they had to have jobs and socialize to get anything, and the internet wasn't around to escalate things by normalizing degenerate shit. Those that couldn't cope joined survivalist communities and penned those ridiculous books you'd see in the back of old SOF magazines.

They started a local militia and costume bowling night.

Militias usually. Cults sometimes.

Correct. Thirty years ago, a young kid who popped a stiffy watching some cartoon had nowhere to expand on this strange feeling. Nowadays, he can find massive online communities made up of people the world over who share in his degeneracy.
Thank you, internet.

Lol, furry fanzines have been around since the mid 60s. Women have been writing fanfics in zines about Spock and Kirk since Star Trek the original series first aired.
People were just as weird and perverted, you just had to work harder for it.

Not true. There have always been abnormal people. See the documentary Blood in the Face.

Instead of getting off to hentai, they would go to glory holes and standard fuck parties. The pre-internet world had a lot more in person interaction.

The thing is that the chances of you finding out about these communities was very slim. Nowadays, you just gotta hit up google to get your Pokemon inanimate tf vore pics.

That's fair to say. Before the internet, organizations had to do all their advertising by flyers and the phone book. If an organization was outside the mainstream, you didn't even know about it, let alone get in, unless you happened to know someone who was already on the inside and introduced you. The elites who controlled mass media had a deathgrip on the American mind. The internet destroyed that edifice. Now, we're seeing a return to the folk culture that was common in America before WW2.
