TRANSFORMING Gun Culture: What is Open GYM??

This video from GUNBROS discusses 'gun blasphemy' within the firearms community, defining it as opinions or actions considered sacrilegious. Key points include the assertion that calling the Ruger 10/22 a bad rifle is blasphemous, as it's considered the 'gold standard' and ideal starting point for .22 LR firearms. The hosts also suggest that not owning or liking the AR-15 platform is blasphemous, emphasizing its importance for every gun owner.
