Firearm rights organizations, ranges and gun stores need to do a better job advertising on video game websites. That's where you find the future of urban firearm enthusiasts. I can confirm that every single hardcore gamer has expressed a positive view toward firearms to me. Maybe they think it's cool to play with the actual guns they see onscreen. Maybe they can relate to firearm owners because gamers too are often demonized whenever violent incidents happen.

My family took a teen daughter of a family friend to the range for her first time. She's totally urban in terms of style and music and everything. She picked up the Kriss Vector and said "wooow it's the Fortnite SMG!!!" And she had a blast. I had no clue so I googled it and there is an SMG that looks just like the Vector. That's the future right there.
