Years ago I stopped trying to justify a gun purchase.
"I want it" is all the justification that's needed.
I have guns that I haven't fired in years but I wouldn't think of getting rid of them, because "I want them".
This is close. I would add only that this sort of purchasing, in which I often indulge too, is 'justifiable' only when all other financial obligations and needs are met. Those who are scraping money together to buy a gun may need to reorder their priorities. Except for those cases, no one should care and it's no one else's business.
