A comparative essay on gun cleaning vs personal hygiene.

If you don’t clean your guns regular, do you regularly shower?

thats jus dirty people!

I clean them after every 2nd or 3rd shoot. I shower once a month whether I need it or not.

You should shower 2x a day in this heat!

cleanliness is akin to godliness 

All things are relative. 

Showering too much isn't good, just like cleaning your guns too much isn't good. 

How much is too much? That Depends. 

Depends what kind of gun.

Stuff like AK, Mosin, SKS, pump and bolt action etc. why waste your time cleaning the action more than once every few years? Brake grease will last decades in there. I run a bore snake w/ WD40 through after the range trip but even that is probably overkill. No need to waste money and time on expensive cleaning products and fancy rituals.

That said if you have something fragile, collector's item, etc. then care for it accordingly. 

EDIT: I've found the chrome moly (grey) brake grease to be the best lube. I have two firearms which are going on 9 years now without new grease in the action.
