The root cause of our challenge is excessive urbanization. That creates a huge population of folks who don't get to shoot, much less hunt. These folks are easily led to believe that firearms are not necessaryr for the ordinary citizen.
We need to develop more ranges in urban areas. We could make some assumptions to set a goal for numbers, but a start is one lane per 500 people and everyone within a half hour drive Of a range.
Second, We need to develop more action-oriented shooting contests and sports that can compete with the smart phone games. Alternatively, link the shooting skill development to the games themselves.
Of course. There is the little problem of kids being taught that patriotism, freedom, and self-defense are somehow wrong...
