Hard to say. You hear a lot of news (especially in the Detroit area) about some black guy killing another black guy. I voted based on that.
 

My father in law is a white "cowboy Shooter" and he has got a crap load of guns. Even loads his own ammo

well its actually unfair for me to say gangster, i really just mean the gangster sterotype. Because in reality a real gangster would need a gun to obey his master's bidding.

As opposed to getting someone else to do it for him?

I hate to nitpick, but are we talking OWN as in purchased, or OWN as in somehow aquired from a buddy's friend's sister.

the thugs have a single 9mm pistol, or maybe a .45

the hicks have, AT THE VERY LEAST, a .357 revolver, a 12ga shotgun, and a hunting rifle.

I never understood this irrational fear of a person who owns lots of weapons.

How is owning 40 guns worse than owning two?

I mean, you only have two hands. How the fsck are you going to use more than two at once?

Do people who fear gun collectors think they will suddenly sprout many arms and attack them bristling with firearms?

not putting it in the gun... re-packing the casings with new gunpowder and such... basically recylcling ammunition.

Like Jim Carrey, in the Mask!! :laugh:

I own 12 various firearms myself. A couple are for home defense, a few for hunting, a pair of 22's (one rifle, one pistol) that I inherited when my Dad passed away (thus the emotional value), and some I bought just for the investment. There's one good thing about guns, is that if you take care of them, they really don't drop in value like a lot of other things, no matter how much they've been used. :)

Well, the average gun collector is harmless. People fear the paranoid anti-government/militia dude who snaps and uses that customized bushmaster in public. I guess it runs along the same lines as people who fear any black dude with a do-rag.

I somehow doubt that most of your stereotypical gangsters actually own more than one or two firearms at most, while your hillbilly stereotype probably owns at least one gun for every occasion (shotgun for wing shooting, rimfire rifle for small game hunting, larger center fire rifle for big game hunting, and a handgun for personal protection).

Well, again, that fanatic can only use two guns at a time. I still see the fear of gun collectors as irrational.

LOL

I'd say the hillbillies. I'd say they're more likely to have a gun closet.. while the ghetto superstar is more likely to have a single firearm, maybe two stashed under their mattress.
