Shooting at Las Vegas casino

You better start selling or trading some or you will be out some money when Gee's martial law in enacted.

 

Probably the same reason people own more than one pair of shoes, more than one coffee mug. Some people collect things.
Some people see a gun and they see a tool. Some people see a gun and they see a threat.

 

Different ones for different hunting situations. My great grandfathers and grandfathers were big hunters. I have their firearms, like my grandfather's Colt 1911 from Korea. I own a rifle from the 1870s an ancestor carried as one of Judge Parker's deputies. I've got two shotguns worth more than $15,000 each.

Most are locked away in a safe and go years without seeing daylight. Don't even have ammo for some. I only regularly use four or five.

 

I suppose I get antiques of any sort. But it's pretty hard to kill 59 people and wound 500 with a pair of shoes or a coffee mug.

 

Beat me to my answer below.

 

The only thing I possess worth more than $15,000 is a house.

 

I don't think most people who own guns even see them as tools for killing people. But non-gun people do since that is pretty much their only reference for them since they don't hunt or target shoot. The only gun owners they hear of are killers.

 

Ever hear the Roger Creager song "I Got the Guns"?

 

Oh. Well that’s fine then —until you inevitably declare speech to be violence.

 

I don't think the vast majority of gun owners think of them as tools for killing people. I'm not for banning all guns. I'm for what the majority of Americans support. Strict background check. Rigorous licencing process. A long waiting period, etc.

Beyond that, which is pretty mainstream, I would ban semi-automatic weapons and limit the number of new guns anyone can purchase. You don't need a semi-automatic weapon for target practice or hunting.

 

I'd wager folding money he broke the law multiple times in this instance before he ever squeezed a trigger.

 

I think most people who own guns realize guns can kill people.
