In many ways, our world is completely alien to the non-gun and anti-gun world. Some of that can and should be forgiven, though. We (gun owners) may not be able to sway the anti-gun folks, but we have a chance with the non-gun folks.
There are many, many things that they've never needed to think about, and so they haven't. Many of them have never been in a situation where they wished they'd had a firearm, so they've never had to think about the legalities, or the practicalities of carrying a deadly weapon everywhere they go.
From a hunting standpoint, . . . many folks in todays world think of meat as "something that comes from Safeway," not "something that I bring home from the woods." It's not necessarily a failure of character. It's simply inexperience.
