I'm actually surprised that this topic has lasted as long as it did.

If we get to page six without a lock we know its time for a TGHCINOPT Thank Gosh Hillary Clinton IS Not Our President Thread

I just want to say that I don't get the "2nd amendment" people.  How is having 40 plus firearms necessary?  Why wouldn't someone with that massive of an arsenal raise a few flags?  I've heard the "well look at Chicago" argument a lot.  But as someone pointed out, Chicago's tough laws are completely undermined because the surrounding areas are very lax with their gun laws.  So its not a fair example.  Its called straw purchases and its a big problem.  What I don't like is that there is the sane regulations most would agree with and then their is the extreme "no regulations",  "don't take my guns away",  mentality that currently dominates the legislation (with gun lobby $). its sickening and disgusting how far these lobbies will go to make a buck.  Its even more disturbing how many lemmings buy into their total bs.   

"Hugh Mann?"  Nice.
 
Anyway, the answer is pretty simple.  Why do so many of us have more than one or two guitars?  (I used to have 14.)
 
Why?  Because it's what we're interested in and true collectors have FAR more.  This isn't any different for those who have an interest in guns.  
 
Actually, if having a lot of guns was really more lethal, then soldiers would find a way to carry a bunch instead of only a couple that they know how to use very well.  Having 10's of thousands of rounds of ammo would be more of a red flag except, even there, I know people who love to spend lots of time on a gun range.
 
The bottom line is that you simply can't paint everyone with the same brush when it's always a VERY small minority that screw things up for everyone (take most of the traffic laws as examples).

Good post Craig.....

But, as was also mentioned,  cars and traffic are so much more regulated than firearms.  This makes no sense!  Firearms are a huge responsibility.  Way more than driving.  It should be regulated accordingly.  I don't think many Americans want to take guns away (as is the common deflecting argument).  Its just the insanity of how lax its regulated.  And having 40 plus of anything is really borderline insane, lol.

The greatest thing for this world full of stupid idiots will be autonomous cars.  I can not count the number of stupid, disgusting idiots I see driving.  People who tailgate.  People who speed with no concern with the safety of others.  People with all kinds of road rage.  People who are drunk or doing drugs.
 
Take your blinders to the world off.

Oh, and cars have been used as weapons.  Either as car bombs, or more simply driven into crowds essentially just mowing down innocent people.
