How many firearms?

[FNP45TACTICAL]

I was on a deer lease with 8 other hunters. I was by far the broke-est guy on the lease. I found a deal on Barrett 82A1s with NF scope. A couple other guys said they wanted them also. I made the order. Got a call the next day from the Gunshop Manager asking why I needed 3 of them. I had bought around 50 guns from them in the past. I cancelled the order for the 3 Barrett’s and have not bought a single gun from them since. That should explain what kind of answer you’ll get to a poll question asking how many guns we have.

Back on topic. Did you guys see the fire arms on the walking dead tonight?

If you have an accurate count, you are either OCD or a rookie.

Should I include muzzleloaders, C&B revolvers, pinfires, antique firearms, airguns (some are more powerful than many smaller firearms cartridges), etc?

Proficiency doesn't come from the amount of firearms you have but the usage of the ones you do have.

^^^ Yup.

But I would never own a gun. Joe Biden even said so.

I thought he said to "Buy a Shotgun". I think I even saw this on Youtube making it an absolute fact!

I'm the opposite. I have no problems selling guns that I don't like. My number changes all the time.

Bacon is not clean

It is after you fry it crisp. Nothing but flavor survives sizzling 450 degree grease.

While I don't disagree withe underlying principle of your post, and the phrasing of the question does make a difference, it may have just been an inartful way of making sure you weren't doing a straw purchase.

If you bought and completed a DROS on all three with the intention of transferring it to your buddies, some legal issues may have arisen. (See, e.g., U.S. v. Abramski)

A was planning to take a seamanship and navigation course, but before I could I went out on a little sailboat with just me and my guns. Apparently I had the loading a bit off and the stupid thing flipped over. Did you know that some sailboats almost right themselves. Well with a bit of effort I got that silly thing back upright and, low and behold, every damn one of my guns had fallen out of the boat. so, zero.

Brought them to Guam with me and the damned island capsized ...

I didn't realize how many people are just like me and don't own any guns but read a gun forum.
