100 guns....why?[W:131]

Re: 100 guns....why?

I collect more golf clubs than 10 people could use in a lifetime.

Golf clubs can be very dangerous too.....................just ask Tiger Woods.

A 9 iron ruined his life.
 
Re: 100 guns....why?

Your reply is as dumb as it is non-responsive to what you quoted.
Try again.

I asked the question, that is all I am prepared to do.

What do you figure I am to "try again"?
 
Re: 100 guns....why?

I have seen reports of one person owning 500-600 guns but forget that..... why would anyone want to own 100 guns, all in working order? Hell it would seem to me that most people would have a hard time getting each one out once a year, and dont they need a rag and some trigger oil? (is this even a real thing, this is exactly how clueless I am)......that sounds like some serious work man.....and expense.

Why, why do people do this? Are they planning to raise a militia when the police lose control..is this a "he who owns the guns gets to be boss when things go to ****" thing? (not that this would work of course, but as Carlin so often said "Americans are some dumb mother****ers...")

Thank you gun experts!

Because guns have value, and come in many designs and styles. It's no different to collecting cars, shoes or guitars.

Because your previous attempt at saying you a truth seeker failed all you are really saying is that you do not want to explain the whys of your question in a "gun control" forum.

:doh Figures.
Replying on point to what you quoted.

If that is true then there are no stockpiles of ammo to go with those guns....do you have any suggestions on where I could go to verify that this is the situation?
 
Re: 100 guns....why?

Guns are special.

No they are not any more special than any other things people collect.You are just trying to make it seem as though there is some sort nefarious purpose behind someone collecting guns.

Thats just the reality.

Re: 100 guns....why?

Guns are special.

Thats just the reality.
Beanie Babies are special. That's just reality.
Yet I do not see you asking about those.

THere certainly might be.

That's just the reality.

O
Guns are special.

Thats just the reality.

What I would do in some hypothetical situation is also irrelevant, this has nothing to do with me.

So I gather you have no answers for me so you are useless to me so I will move along looking for some kind soul to help me.

Why are guns special to you?

What is your particular hangup over guns?

I think it was actually his "driver" that did all the damage

Here's one of the wonderful things about freedom:

We all get to decide for ourselves what we care about, what we want to fill our heads with.

If thats a problem for you get over it.

Nope, we are not going to make this into yet another ALL ABOUT HAWKEYE thread.

I know all about me, that would be a complete waste of my time.

We are in the GUN forum, perhaps you've noticed?

I am here to talk GUNS.

GUNS or nothing.

No, you asked why some PEOPLE collect guns.

And you said guns are different from cars.

Guns are "special" in your words when everyone else here has told you that they are no different than cars.

So this topic really is about YOUR attitude toward guns not the guns themselves
 
Re: 100 guns....why?

Several little things that have caught my attention over the last few months, to include a report that tried to figure out how many guns some of these people have, finding out that there are a lot with hundreds and some with over a thousand. This seemed to surprise folk. But in all my reading not one person tried to inform me on why people do this. Sometimes hundreds thrown on the floor never used, for a lot of years, they are useless, but some do it. WTF?

Seriously WTF, why do people stockpile guns, in working order or not, in huge numbers?

THis makes no sense to me.
Personally, as a second amendment advocate, I am glad that some have that many.

Theoretically and practically, if we want to keep our government honest the best policy is that the people are armed. I have observed your posts enough to know you are entirely familiar, but will go on to say this sends a message to our government, our servants not our masters, that with hundreds of millions of guns [current speculation puts it at around 300 million I think ] out there that we still have the overwhelming numbers in fire power, not they.

It is scary the tools that government is developing that could eventually be used to combat We, the people, however... and as a watcher myself, and even though I liked that we won, I was suspect of the surge as a potential example of methods and then practice in counterinsurgency which could then eventually be used more successfully against Americans. Piggyback onto that it seems that we are driving the true patriots out of the military, encouraging less and less to even enter, what with current policies making it an environment unpalatable to most. With the social engineering and rules of engagement such that many normal Americans would not and do not feel comfortable nor safe... that our military, if it continues on this path, may eventually become another of those tools to be used against us.

If you are also watching in other areas, there are recent polls [even tho I am not a true believer in most polling and results] indicating that most Americans would struggle to cover $1000 in a crisis situation, then most Americans probably are not spending money they cannot afford on a gun purchase. Not with a minimally working shotgun at probably about $120, handgun at least $200, not to mention ammunition. So perhaps it is good that those that can afford such buy more so that in times of potential crisis/need, we aren't left wishing we had them. The analogy would be the homeowner being without one when someone evil has broken in/ Wishing they had one doesn't make it happen.

Also, keeps the gun manufacturers reasons to continue making them as people buying them results in profit.

I see only good if there is good intent, If the person has bad intent, yep, could also be bad.

You are involved in dishonesty.
You asked why. People have told you why, that folks collect things, all kind of things.

You say you are a seeker of truth, that is the truth of it. The why's of that truth concern the psychology of the person doing so.

Not acknowledging these things suggests you are up to something else.

Wow, that's really twisted.
 
Re: 100 guns....why?

Well now, I sure hit paydirt.

When there is this much defensiveness when a guy comes around asking questions something major is going on, for fact certain.

This is now for sure something that I need to investigate.

WOW, now that's what I am talking about, THANKS.

It is getting late I will look at this fresh tomorrow hopefully.

I gotta make some cakes for a high end client but I should have some time.
 
Re: 100 guns....why?

Wow, that's really twisted.

Not at all.

You adked a question that has been answered for you many times over

Yet you press on.

Why?

Because this is really about you rather than the guns themselves.

Some people hate cars because cars run on fossil fuel and car haters believe man-made-global-warming is destroying the planet.

Therefore they have a complaint against Leno

But Leno iis not doing anything wrong and he does not have to continually explain himself to the tree huggers after they refuse to listen

To a collector what they choose to collect is always of "special" interest to that person. What seems strange to many is that you elected to place this "i am just curious about..." question under the topic of "gun control" rather than in a non-political forum. You seem to be implying that there is some reason (for the government?) to control these gun collectors - can you explain that?
 
Re: 100 guns....why?

My next piece for my collection.

It's a bit outdated as far as semi's go in some of the experts opinions............ and I would probably rarely shoot with it.

But it is a beauty, and will make a nice heirloom to pass onto one my grandkids.
