How do I stop buying guns?

[jeffksandiego]

Because you can

I only worry about having one gun for each role. The rest is kind of a waste to me.
So, I keep an HD pistol, CCW pistol, long range rifle, .22 rifle, "combat" rifle, shotgun, etc.
Having a bunch of different guns that don't really do anything different from each other just seems like wasted money, and more parts/calibers/mags, etc to buy.
I generally like to take ALL of my guns with me anytime I go shooting.
If I have too many, and don't even shoot them - what's the point?

Very Simple Answer... Because we can......

I just wanted a pistol. That was two years ago. Now I have a 22, 9mm, .45, 22 rifle, 223 AR, and a 308. But my 308 isn't shooting well, so now I want another 308. Unfortunately, my local shop has a beautiful used Browning A-Bolt Target for $1250 and I think I must have it.

Being that I already have a few rifles, and that $1250 is a good chunk of change, I should not buy it. But on the other hand, it's a beauty...

Help (maybe).

Let your wife handle all monies in the house. Problem solved.

Face it, like a lot of us you have an addiction... You are a gunalcoholic

When I got married over twenty years ago my then wife said three things she !would never allow me to do, 1) Be a cop 2) Own a motorcycle 3) Own a gun

I have since divorce that crazy B!&($ and now I have an ever increasing collections of handguns, rifles, shotguns and carbines. Next maybe a motorcycle, but first I have to stop buying guns. Lastly I'm a little to old to become a cop, but I have the upmost respect for most of those in the profession. Damn her I always wanted to be a Motorcycle cop [ well I guess two out three isn't so bad!

You're also missing a lot of milsurps, revolvers, and lever actions. Oh, and like the other person said, you're missing a nice shotgun.

"How do I stop buying guns?"

Divorce.

Have an affair.

guns are cheaper.

[meno377]

If you wanna stop buying guns, marry a 22 year old babe and tell her you have some money. You will never be able to buy anything for yourself again.

[mjh4828]

You run out of money.

[Chefantone]

You stop when you die. Keep buying.

I stopped reading the thread here.

I find running out of money is very effective

No such thing. You only run out of money when you don't have a job.

Otherwise. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover are your loyal friends.

Don't worry, buy away. Who loves you more than you? Treat yourself right! If you don't, who will?

You should've been a motorcycle cop right before the divorce just to get her to pop a vein.

cop, motorcycle, and guns all in one.

When your food choices are limited to cereal & black coffee, maybe it's time to slow down...

Hey, what's wrong with cereal? As long as you got the most important meal of the day in, that's all it counts. Meat, vegetables, fruits are over rated.

buy a town, proclaim your mayorship and hire yourself as chief of police. then, get on the motorcycle and ride with whatever issue you've chosen for the department.

[EMPTYITOUT]

Make a rule: You can't browse for a new gun until you've found where you've hid all your old guns. (I'm still trying to locate a couple as I type this.)

You'll never stop .

buy something basic and easy to work on yourself

I say take a Savage Axis or Ruger 10/22 and strip of everything but the action and then build something only you can dream up. Both designs are very popular with aftermarket accessories and you can do most everything yourself. It keeps you focused and may not be all that much cheaper than buying guns but you won't run out of space in your gun cabinet.
