If you are NOT a gun owner or supporter of the 2nd amendment, why in the world would I want to HELP you in any way other than off the end of a long pier?
Big Picture: WHY DO YOU DO IT
I’m taking a survey, trying to understand as deeply and intimately as possible the EXACT reasons and emotions motivating you fine people who own firearms....why do YOU own a gun? Please spill your true thoughts out here! Is self defense truly your biggest priority when you buy? Or is it honestly just fun to collect and shoot guns in your free time?
You’d really be helping me out the more you can share your deep emotional desires as well as any Fears that are involved with your decisions to buy guns and related gear...any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: haha oh ****, been getting some hostile responses, lol and fair enough! Who am I?? My name's Jack, 22, come from a patriotic gun owning family in Florida, parents both military veterans, my older brother is currently in Special Operations, I plan on joining the Navy in another year or so (postponed due to training injury). But long-story-short we're all gun-fanatics in my family and die hard defendants of the 2A. The reason I'm "researching" is because my job as a copywriter currently involves me writing content/copy for local gun stores and gun companies (that's the niche I chose, because it's my passion). Understanding the burning desires and needs of your customers is crucial, as you can imagine. I personally subscribe to Tim Kennedy's "sheepdog" philosophy and believe my entire existence (and gun ownership) revolves around being that 1% of people in society who is alert, skilled, and able to protect the 99% who are unaware and vulnerable. For me yes, there's a fun/innocent fascination with guns, but mostly I view it as a manly duty to protect and to be self reliant. Growing up playing football as a kid, I was always smaller than the other kids, always was the youngest in the family, etc. and so I was always eager to embrace more responsibility or challenges to prove that I had what it took to still be a confident, capable person like many of the other mentors in my life I looked up to. That's what drives me, and you could say that's my "pain point." All people seek dignity in their own ways, and for me I just want to NEVER feel like a victim to life's circumstances, and being totally defenseless in a robbery/gunfight,etc. is not an option for me or the people I feel I have a duty to protect. "Take charge of your life, and feel true confidence" or "Keep your loved ones secured, and do your duty" are slogans that would motivate me. However, I realize I'm just one in a sea of millions of people, who may have different opinions/perspectives on life and gun ownership. The more perspectives I can gather, the better understanding I can bring to my work, which ultimately serves the customers needs and desires, not my own. Thanks so far for the responses. Keep em coming! "Help us help you" and if not then damn that's all I got. Thanks for reading
