  • My son is like you. He has many books, and this notebook that he uses to draw the guns. So he can know every detail. He has even designed a few of his own. (On paper of course.) He is currently in bootcamp and was issued his weapon this past week. I'm sure he is in heaven.
  • The son of a neighbour of mine was like you. He went to prison for shooting somebody. Any obsession is dangerous and an obsession with a deadly weapon is doubly dangerous.
  • Nope...being Canadian I am pretty anti-gun, as is everyone I know. I don't think I have ever seen a gun in real life, except for on a cop.
  • Michael Ryan springs to mind here!
  • Guns are nice and fun to shoot (target) sometimes. I have my preference of guns and am not a bad shot. Other than that, I am not terribly interested in modern ones. I like the strange old ones, like the matchlocks and the clockwork locks (forgot what those were called). I like the old muzzle loaders. If I had a gun collection, on the practicality scale of 1 - 10 it would rate a -2. They would all be strange antiques. I hope your obsession is with them as an object of fascination rather than an obsession with their lethality.
  • I have a facination for all weapons. I own several firearms (and other weapons) and use to collect handguns. The M16 is one of my favorite rifles as well, especially when equipped with the M203 grenade launcher. :-)
  • As long as your obsession only extends to owning, learning and (legal) shooting, I don't see a problem with it. I have been similarly obsessed about cars in my life and other people are similar obsessed about stamps, motorcycles, Beanie Babies, audio equipment, etc. Guns as pieces of technology do have their fascinations. I might recommend that you go to an urban hospital and ask to observe the trauma ward for a night. Get yourself acquainted with the ugly damage that guns can do so that you're never tempted to see them as a solution to your problems. Good luck.
