Okay gun nutters, explain what responsible gun owner needs with $50,000 worth of guns? Yes yes, he obviously isn’t a responsible gun owner. But these gun and tobacco manufacturers just laughing their way to the bank at this lunacy.
Anyone has a breakdown of gun sales worldwide? Or estimates of legal vs illegal sales?
It doesn't really matter, plenty of people have huge gun collections as some people collect them, and while not a good investment, many times you can buy and sell them and make money. I suppose you think no one should own a Ferrari, because too many people die in automobile crashes already, and nobody needs to go 180 mph right?
As long as people can continue to purchase something legally, it's no one else's business how many they have, even though it makes them appear to be crazy. My wife has 30 pairs of shoes...
If there was a sudden spike of high healed shoe related deaths, I'd call for a ban on them also.
The point remains...whether you or I can see a reason for owning so many guns, the US Constitution doesn't place a limit on how many guns a person can own. (nor does it contain language that bans scary black assault rifles) but that's a different subject)
The gun lobby and millions of legal gun owners will raise hell if anyone tries to limit the number of guns we can own.
