Have you guys ever looked at what you had and been almost completely disinterested in what you have and wished you'd gone another direction with your shooting interests?
With events unfolding such as they are, becoming harder and more expensive to shoot and alot of what I own being heavily targeted "ban" items, I've sort of lost the spark in some small way. It used to be so much fun to dump 400-500 rds of 9mm, 200-300rds of .223 into my dump boxes, throw a bunch of mags in my range bag and just spend the afternoon going to town on stuff at the range, it's been a good while since I've felt like that was an option.
Like, "don't shoot what you have because tomorrow (insert some bs here) is going to happen".......
Just curious if any of you guys have been struggling with any of that. I've become quite fond of trap shooting lately and have considered the fact that the guys at my club who have a few shotguns for sport (you know, one of those legitimate sporting purpose guns we often hear about) and wheelguns, don't really have much to worry about as opposed to guys who have arsenals, which are a huge investment of your time and money.
If I could snap my fingers and turn what I have into a smaller, more "friendly" collection of guns, I might consider it. It would be alot less of a headache because lately, I don't get the enjoyment out of it that I used to, from constant perpetual attacks on 2A and ammo falling into precious metals category, it's a lil bit of a downer. I could never bring myself to sell what I have, I love all of it. Just not feeling the same about it as I once did.
If I could do it over, I might not have so many EBR's and plastic fantastics. I'm thinking if I was starting over, I'd have a few really nice shotguns and a few really nice revolvers and bolt guns, and of course I'd have a couple black guns.
I know this seems like a "downer" post, I just find it odd that I'm thinking this way, it's probably by design and I wouldn't be surprised if others in my boat feel the same.
