> My pro-gun friends typically seem to have 2-3

From my experience, that's sort of low. I never thought my neighbors had so many guns, until I started spending time at the shooting range. A common site is a trunk packed to the gills with firearms. The "gun guys" buy them like the "sneaker guys" buy Nikes. They usually won't talk about it, unless you express interest or go shooting with them.



Can confirm, my father-in-law has more than 50.

It's actually a really neat collection, but I wince at how much it had to cost and how much use he actually gets out of them.


Some people collect coins. Or cars. Others collect guns.

You don't have to shoot a gun to appreciate it. My great grandfather's service revolver? It's a link to the past, not a range toy.


The average American gun owner has between 5 and 6 firearms. I just took the class.
