This is super, SUPER normal for this area. Seriously. This is like announcing the shooter had a dog and propane grill in the back yard.
I mean, “more than a dozen” covers a lot of ground. Does that mean 15? Sure, that’s probably normal. 50? That’s weird.
Oh but you know NBC would say DOZENS! if there were 50.
...
Americans are weird.
To this American, yes, 15 is a weird number of guns to have. But some types of folk, especially in rural areas, are just different.
13-23 guns. If there were 24 or more they'd have said a couple dozen or dozens
50 is not weird, it's just like any other hobby, and you can't shoot really more than 1 at a time accurately anyways.
No, it's weird.
I mean it's really not. The is nothing wrong with liking mechanical things. Is it weird to have a collection of anything?
Propane?! Clearly they are a terrorist of some flavor
/s
Probably has a spare high capacity propane tank, too
A clear and present danger if I ever heard one
Taste the meat not the heat.
