Millennials’ mysterious support for gun rights

[earthside]

2. Not very mysterious.

I have two 'Millennial' children ... a young man and a young woman.

Both have killed and maimed probably thousands of people in video games.
They have the 'experience' of being virtual users of all kinds of automatic weapons in all kinds of virtual situations.

They are both very into the super hero craze of the last decade, too. A single person can fight tens if not hundreds of 'bad' guys and win.

Culture matters.

Now, we talk about this issue all the time being in Colorado and having liberal parents who present the other side to them, they are both rather moderate in their views about guns, but they are not anti-gun by any means.

So, Millennials who are not engaged in political discussions and are about 100 percent part of the shoot 'em up video game culture are undoubtedly not going to be very anti-gun.
