Being one of the older guys.... 40++, I was raised around firearms, lived in Michigan until I enlisted in the Army so we hunted, fished and did alot of range time and reloading.
I believe that alot to blame is for the heritage not being passed down. I have involved 3 bro-in-laws, 4 nephews and 2 neice-in-laws and multiple cousins either in hunting or the shooting sports in general.... not to mention my own 2 kids and wife.
Some only hunt, a few only shoot when they are out at my house, but a couple were antis (young and raised that way) and now even they would never own a gun these girls love to shoot when they are out at my place and dont talk bad about firearms anymore. Now they are even absorbing the real and correct info on firearms and their owners.
Its our job to educate the young and misinformed.... even one person at a time!!!
