I grew up in Norway without TV and with no guns in the house. Was still interested in guns. Don't know how I became interested, it happened before I can remember.
(and no, I'm no gun nut but I was very interested in guns as a kid - as many other kids.)
Thank you for your perspective, it is interesting, can you recall maybe stories involving guns? In my case I was told stories involving swords and bows and as children we were creating swords and bows, we were also making guns but I think we saw those in american police movies that were very popular at that time.
I guess I might have picked up the idea from other kids somehow - but
- I don't have older siblings
- I didn't go to kindergarten
- and I generally can't recall playing much with other kids except for my younger brothers before I started in school
There must be an explanation - I don't think this was a miracle and I also think guns hasn't existed mong enough to make an impression on our genes - but I don't know it.
