I read the thread on how movies have often impacted many of our decisions as to what guns we own. But as I read it, I realized that for me - movies have played only a small part. In fact books, magazines, articles, newsgroups and forums have all influence my gun buying decisions much more so than movies or tv.
I read up on the life and work of John Moses Browning - I have 1911's, Hi powers, a Browning Winchester designed lever gun, and I would love to have a 50 cal. BMG and a 30 cal. BAR.
I read up on "Assault Weapons" and have an AR15 and a AK47
I read about Korea, WWII and John Garand and got an M1
So I find that reading leads me to buy most of my guns.
