Once a gun collection is reasonably developed, do you ever get the idea that buying more guns is really a way of wishing we had more time to spend with the guns we already owned?
I think in America we have this fantasy of an easy way out of the time traps we are in that we can get out by buying more things.
I think this may be an illusion and buying new guns maybe a way of self-medicating out of the aspects of American life that are not free. Work, wives, yard work social media or the lack thereof.
I mean once you've got 50 good guns that run the gamut from revolvers to decent semi auto pistols, numerous various shotguns, hunting rifles in 5 calibers, and semi-automatic war machines in 3 calibers or more, that you don't really have time to shoot to the degree desired, then is buying more guns really just a cry for help for the world to give you more time ?
but since you can't get more time you just buy stuff?
