My husband has an unreasonable number of guns. He likes having stuff.
(We also have an unreasonable amount of art glass for the same reason.)
Don't get me started on the three bandsaws.

He's got a .22 rifle for target shooting. Nice old piece with a wooden
stock. He also has a .223 rifle that looks pretty damned military, but
underneath it isn't much different from his .22 rifle. One trigger pull,
one bullet. He likes it because his shoulder is wrecked and it doesn't
have much of a kick.

He took his deer with a .357 Magnum pistol because he can't shoulder
a rifle big enough to kill a deer.

For the most part, it's not about the gun. It's about the shooter. I'd
like to see some meaningful laws in this country that would keep guns
out of the hands of weirdos. A good first step would be to consistently
enforce the laws that are in place.

We have very strict laws. We have a lot of guns but D. was in the military
for many years.
