Partially what seems to drive this upward trend is how many KINDS of guns you can own now. Gun collecting now can become a hobby itself, owning many different variants of ARs, Glocks, 1911 clones, etc. Add to that the new thing of owning a gun PER location. SO CCW + Car Gun + House Gun. It can add up quite quickly. Even for your "average" gun owner. |

One is for wild hogs and one is for whatever bullshit happens at a random intersection (I live in an area that experiences significant amounts of random violence).
I'm far from a gun nut. I haven't fired a weapon in ten years, since I moved away from the farm. I bought my first pistol when I discovered motorcycle gang activity in my vacinity over twenty years ago. You never forget that warm feeling you get when you lose your vulnerability to the shine of a Ruger 357. The crazy part is that I didn't think it made me safe or helped the situation at all. I just decided it was better to have it out instead of getting cucked by some shitty gang member.
Young men get firearms for respect and dignity. In the inner city you have a lot of this, resulting in boys carrying guns they have never fired...until someone disrespects them enough. The cops should invite these boys to their $7MM firing range.
