Maybe they are upgrades. I have two shotguns. One is an old single
barrel that I got when I was a kid. The other is a nice double barrel
that I go years later. I have a cheap semiautomatic .22 that I bought
for plinking and when my brother got depressed he had a nice .22 target
rifle. I had .303 that my parents gave me when I was 16. The extractor
spring keep breaking and they are getting harder to replace so I recenly
pickup up a nice Russian made surplus semi auto that costs about half as
much to shoot and is more accurate.

About 20 years ago I tookup handguns target shooting and started with a
..22. I upgraded to a 9mm, but that thing is not very accurate and I
recently picked up a new one that is highly rated for target shooting.
It's not like I am stocking up for Armageddon or to fight the
government. They aren't worth much to sell, so I hold on to them... all
in a locked steel cabinet. Who is it hurting?
