why do you have so many guns?

[david8613 69]

why do you have so many guns? thats the question i get asked alot, i usually say its your right, or jokingly ill say ill be ready when the zombies come! but i wanna know how many have you run into this question and whats your answer to them?

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

Its like asking "why do you own so many shoes"

 

Usually the asnwer is "because I want that many" or because "They all fill a different role" or "because I can". This is of course if you are dealing with women. You can of course subsitute shoes for golf clubs, cars, etc

 

Then you just say, well, thats why I have so many guns.

See what they have to say after that.

Because they're fun...

I don’t have many people think it strange how many guns I own as I only have 7. Ammo is another story. 17,000+ rounds makes them ask why so much. Answer “Well the zombies aren’t going to kill themselves”

I may have to steal that

[MedicYeti 96]

Why have so many wrenches or screw drivers? Why collect a whole team of baseball cards? Each gun performs a different task and is suited for a different type of shooting. And because they are cool.

If asked by a woman I would reply - "Why do you have so many shoes?".

 

If asked by a man - "Why do you have so many golf clubs?"

[tbtrout 141]

Because I have a compulsive buying disorder.

i do have a very particular set of skills. skills i have acquired over a very long career. skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

 

 

 

say that and see what happens

[QuePsiPhiSmkr 14]

I feel it is the thrill of the "chase." There maybe a gun you have always wanted or a new line of guns from different manufacturers. But it is the thrill of "wanting the gun." I smoke alot of cigars and if you are hardcore cigar smoker, you know there certain hard to find smokes that I try to get my hands on. Once,I get that item...I go on chasing after another item...The thrill of the chase is what I call it....It is a great feeling.

[tommy3rd 132]

I have the same answer with similar questions like "why do you do this?" Or "why do you have that?"

because I can!

Hardly anyone knows about the one gun that I currently own. (I hope to acquire a few more in the near future.) Seems like there is a stigma attached to being a gun owner, at least in North Jersey, so I don't like to talk about it much. That's why I have you guys.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I have the same issue I just never knew how to explain it.

I will be using this winner as well.

you only have 6 and theyre calling that alot??

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

I'd like to think the newspaper article about me will throw around terms like "arsenal" or "large cache"

[jcerillo70 16]

Because I have a compulsive buying disorder.

 

I really do have that lol

[coldsolderjoint 84]

The sheer inability to continue life without them

[e80hydro 120]

I'm a fashion plate and I don't like anything that clashes with the flannel of the day.

[BCeagle 12]

I tell them I buy guns that look cool in movies so I can look cool. Its the same way I choose sunglasses.

 

or

 

I am buying every gun I can that was in any Call of Duty game.

[Gregg 5]

Because I hate paper.

[ktm525xcatv 5]

I can arm other people in a emergency.

If i use 1 in a self defense sitiuation it may be taken by police.

I like to bury a few in case of a gun grab, hopefully they are not watching me while i bury them with sattelites.

I can't understand why there are people with hundreds of Hummel figures. I know one guy who has...ready for this....about 150 chess sets! My guns are just as dangerous to upstanding citizens as Hummel figures or chess sets. I also have over 100 cameras in my collections and they never hurt anyone.

[djg0770 481]

I have more screwdrivers than guns. They are just as dangerous - ask Bernie Goetz... (pulling a reference from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back)

I am sad to say, being a guy, I have too many guns, golf clubs, cars, motor cycles, and yes, even too may shoes!
