Where are the Millennials in RKBA activism? [More]They'll either get on board as they mature or they'll pay the price.
I've remarked on the same thing at gatherings -- the number of gray heads in the crowd and how young adults are so scarce.
The leadership is going to have to come from someone in their age range who knows how to craft the type of message in the type of medium they'll be receptive to in order to get them to first dip their toe in the pool. Wayne waving a flag won't cut it. We grups can do our best to promote newcomers, but we don't really reach the audience that needs to be approached.
One core message I think has been grossly underutilized: Appeal to their conditioning by stressing the truly progressive egalitarian power-sharing that can only exist with an armed populace.
On the plus side, all who need to be truly committed would be, say, three percent...

Like Bill Whittle says, "it takes a while for life to beat the stupid out of you..."
the millennial RKBA subculture exists. I used to have one as an employee, grew up in Idaho, father is Army Guard. His father had never taken him shooting, I did.
He left my shop for a one-in-a-career assignment to US Virgin Islands, contemplated buying a sidearm before going, until he read up on VI gun laws, thought better of it.
But he'll be one of ours, a minority.
the problem is somewhat like Fight Club: you don't talk about Fight Club, but you want to, real bad. So you choose who you disclose RKBA to, very carefully.
