Question

Help answer this question below.

How many guns do gun owners need? Just read that gun sales are way up due to fear that Obama will curtail sales. Are these gun purchases by those who have none or more by those who already have them?

    Probably both. I know that I bought a couple of guns that I'd been coveting just in case I wouldn't be able to get them later. I have several guns but this was a great rifle for hunting deer. I also bought a new pistol for concealed carry. The small one I have is highly inaccurate and the larger revolver is difficult to conceal except in a purse. I have several rifles for small game too. One I like for birds and one for rabbits. I also bought another rifle for competitions -- although it's been a while since I've done that, but I'd like to start again.

    My husband has his own tastes and often goes for rifles and guns that I would find awkward to use. We have several rifles and guns that we've each inherited that we also maintain, but rarely use.

    Think of it like purses. A gun owner likes a variety for a variety of situations.

    • I agree with you Lori!
      May I ask how you feel about assault weapons?

    • I don't think the average person needs an assault weapon, and for the most part they aren't legally available in the US. To have one legally, one must undergo an intensive FBI background check and police checks too. I can see their "collectability" factor, but I think they need to be kept out of the hands of the masses.
