I don't mean he is not a piece of shit but

Who cares he has 47 weapons. You only have 2 hands. What you think he is going to do? Strap 30 glocks to his leg?

Who cares he has 26000 rounds. Do you know how heavy ammo is? What you think is he going to do? Walk around with a shopping cart full of ammo? Strap 50 magazines to his chest?

It still amazes me that people fall for this "quantity " argument. It means nothing. Someone is not more dangerous with 500 rifles or 5 rifles.

I think the point was that he was obsessed with guns.

I also like firearms. And I am a normal european 9to5 guy with a job in health care. Over here being interested in firearms means nothing, it's not different from, let's say, owning a horse ;)

Do you own 47 of them along with 26,000 rounds of ammo and would you ever kill your wife?
