Grew up with guns used for hunting in the house. I’m not anti-gun and have shot as an adult.

Do so before it’s too late to have that option. But it takes lots of time and money (ammo) to get the practice in. There’s a reason LGBT, minorities and women have been the top first-time buyers for years now.
But please, please god, start leaning now. There is so much more to unpack that most people know, and that includes current gun owners.
I highly recommend Paul Harrell’s videos (RIP). He’s rather dry, with dry humor, but he’s more expert than anyone I’ve seen. He starts with a question. What about this? He tests it, shows results, discusses how fair the test was, with zero judgment. His videos are a masterclass on how to present a topic and how to setup simple experiments and draw conclusions. He is a teacher above all else.
Here’s one perfectly suited for you!
