Reply to comment by BBOoff in [OC] Who Targets You? Top Contested Facebook & Instagram Ad Audiences in US 2022 midterms by fabiofavusmaximus

But that second group aren’t hunters usually, they’re range folks (which is cool too, to each their own).

Do I think the US needs some better gun laws and culture? For sure. Do I think going about it by insulting people with advertising? No, generally insults don’t make change.

Insults don't make change, but they make divisions.

The goal of the campaign here is to divide hunters from range guys, so that Democrats can pass gun safety laws designed to target range guys without the hunters opposing them out of "gun owner solidarity."

Hunters are also conservationists. So while dividing them from gun nuts, you court them with the benefits of a green economy on hunting.
