I fell into the whole gun thing after watching a bunch of gun-movies and playing CounterStrike, no joke. My family had a bit of a gun background but never influenced me as they thought that guns and kids were a bad combination, though they shot and owned them. I spent every day lurking forums and gunbroker learning about guns, and saving what money I could to buy my own, along with begging for them as christmas gifts. Over the course of the last 4 or 5 years I've done a lot of research and a bit of collecting and I'd like to think it shows, especially seeing as how it came from nothing. No hunting, not competition, no young shooting, no family members, nothing. It sucks because if you don't have any "excuse" for it, most people think you are just creepy, violent, or insane. All the same I'm proud of what I know and that I have a hobby which I enjoy.
