Back to the marketing aspect for a moment. If you buy gun magazines you know there is going to be a high level of marketing to push products. If you are open to something new, it won't take a lot of convincing for the "pitch" to work. But if you start from a position of skepticism, the sales pitch is going to work a lot harder to get you to buy. A lot of us are gun loonies of various intensities. So we are more inclined to try something new in our area of interest. And within our "group", there are subsets of some more willing to buy than others. Some are spontaneous while others are more calculating. The Classifieds bear this out with the number of gadgets and gear that is posted daily. How many times do you read someone saying "going in another direction", or "clearing out the safe", "bought it here but never shot it". These are who marketers need to sell inventory. It is all good and the bedrock of capitalism.
