For every gun enthusiast, how many people are there who just buy a gun to have for self defense?
We are the ones shouting out our praise or condemnation of guns on gun boards, so we seem (to ourselves) to be the dominant train of thought. But gun enthusiasts are not the target market for the new S&W. Those casual gun owners will nearly never be heard on the internet, but they will still buy guns.
If you don't believe there are huge numbers of non-enthusiast gun buyers, ask yourself how some companies continue to thrive by selling guns that enthusiasts uniformly ridicule.
