It never fails to amaze me the amount of people on this forum who just love owning weapons.

It never fails to amaze me the amount of responses from people who don't realize that sometimes these "weapons" have a practical purpose. Also, some people do collect - there are things that you have an interest in that you collect, right?

I don't collect, or have a desire to collect anything. I do have a 9mm semi auto handgun, and also want a nice assault rifle, but it has nothing to do with "collecting" anything. I do take a lot of photographs, but I wouldn't consider that collecting either.

Handgun would typically be for defense or target shooting - as for an assault rifle, not sure why unless you have a large amount of property that would be hard to defend with your handgun. As for the photography, that'd be a hobby - not a collection ;)

I agree, and I cant remember the last time I could have used a large hunting knife for anything to tell the truth. My roomate does have multiple guns though then again he is training to become a police officer. There is something about people on the internet and owning weapons, not sure what it is. Maybe they feel like they are repressed idk.
