My God I Wasn't Expecting 7 Pages Of Responses
Guys, thank you all for your help. I went hope the other day and looked at my fine collection. I put thousands of dollars and hours into gaining these firearms. When I relocated South, my doctor said that I need a hobby to keep me relaxed--so I got into shooting. Whenever I'm stressed out, I go to the range. I love reloading--It took a lot of time to learn the "perfect" recipes for all of my calibers. Shoot, the other day, she had the nerve to question my motorcycle. I have a new Yamaha RoadStar 1700. I just put it into the shop and modified it--$4,000.00.
You can mess with my family. You can talk about my mother. But darnit, you can't mess with my guns and my iron horse.
Last night, I told her that I'm not changing anything--while I like her, she must learn to accept me for who I am. It's either that or the highway. She had the nerve to say that she needed to think about it. At this point, I've lost a lot of interest in her. Heck, I've never had a problem finding women. But it took a good while to find my Colt.

By stating that "no chick is worth that". It sounds like you have already made your decision. So I wonder why you would even bring it up on here. 
There have been many,many, many threads on the exact same subject.
You have 2 choices:
1 Dump her.
2 Try to convert her.
Good luck either way.

Two words: control freak.
Even if she comes back and says, "I've decided to let you keep dating me," I'd think twice.

my gf hated guns and was afraid of them, but then i let her shoot my buckmark and she had alot of fun. She still doesnt like them or want me to have them, but that hasnt stopped me from getting a new supressor and toys

I'm lucky enough to have a wife that grew up around guns. She can even *almost* outshoot me. 
There are a ton of other women out there that won't try to control you, like this one is trying to. It sounds like you already have one foot out the door which is a good decision. To celebrate, you should buy another gun.

Good time to cut bait and run. It's not worth the aggravation.

I don't enjoy the company of stupid or irrational people except for cheap laughs at their expense for a few minutes. Anything more than that palls rapidly.
People with nothing BUT feelings tend to have mostly STUPID feelings. They also tend to want to SHARE those feelings, CONSTANTLY.
If you don't like stupid people, don't spend a lot of time and money on them...

No woman is worth giving up anything you are truly passionate about.
They will come and go like bad weather. The one you know now wont even be in you mind years down the road. Turns out they are much more forgetable than a good rifle! A difference of opinion as great as what you two have puts you both damn low on the compatability scale.

This wouldn't even be a question to me. Why give up your guns for a girl that might not be around for a few weeks?

Remembered a quote from an old movie. (Old man talking to son just over his first crush)
"Don't worry boy, the next one will be absolutely beautiful...she always is."

Tell her to walk.
30 cal slob, That was a truly interesting article. It not only taught me something about the anti-gun mentality, but it gave me some insight as to my own thoughts on pro-gun issues.
The how to handle portion was very good also, and was realistic enough to point out that we gun owners are not going to win over everyone.
I would encourage eveyone on this thread to read it. I saved it and plan to review it so that I can gently help to right the misconceptions/fears and outright lies of the anti-gunnists. Thanks.

I'd say drop her, and do it soon. You see, you apparently matter to her less than her own fears, which means one of two things.
1. She's a habitual "nervous Nelly"
2. She's so self centered that everything is judged by how it affects her.
And if you're not a total masochist, neither is a good thing for any kind of serious relationship. And in either case, after a time she'll be gone, and you'd regret ditching the collection. So don't set yourself up.
If a woman can't be bothered to accept you how you are, and that includes the things important to you, then she's not worth your time, energy, and effort.

So here's what ya do
You're gonna regret whatever decision you make, so let me give you a compromise. Keep the girl. Yup, soulmates are hard to come by so keep the girl. Send me the guns. I will take excellent care of them and whenever you want you're welcome to come over and shoot or fondle them. Also, since I reload, you can send me the reloading equipment as well. This way 1) you'll have a soulmate for the rest of your life 2) you'll know your guns are well cared for 3) you'll know you can see touch and shoot them whenever you want and 4) you'll know the reloading equipment is being used, as it should be! See? It all works out! PM me and I'll give you my address so you can ship me the equipment. Tell ya what also, I'll be a sport and pay for the shipping as well.
What a friend I am.....
If you decide to keep the guns (bad choice) then send me the girl (I won't tell her about my collection!).

Yep and if she says she'll stay, YOU need to think about it!
Run, Run fast>>>>FASTER>>>>>>>>
I would do many things for the one I love, However the firearms were with me before I could spell "RED RYDER"
There are few things in life we truly cherish and will never cause us pain, can she do that?

If the Government can't make me think about getting rid of my arsenal, no woman will either. I don't know how old you are, but i'm sure that in your age group women outnumber men. Some people are destined to be victims, Are You ?
I always tell myself not to let my little head do all of my important decision making for me.

I love the jokers that first denegrate your thread for being one that has been covered many many times... And then give you the same response you already recieved MANY MANY TIMES..... Like they say, "school's out". Remember their names and take everything they say with a grain...no...a TABLESPOON of salt.....
BTW... Good decision! Like ya said, another "one" will come by soon!

First the guns, then the motorcycle, better to see the light at the end of the tunnel before walknig down the dark corridor.
You made the right decision. If she really likes/liked you she'll be back. Otherwise better to cut bait early and avoid larger issues down the line.
