55. Do people collect cars....

....because they're paranoid about the government coming to get them?

Kitchen knives and cars are not arsenals because they are not weapons. They can be misused and become weapons, but a gun IS a weapon.... even if you use it for a paper weight...it's STILL a weapon. Kitchen knives, cars, and paper weights for that matter, MUST BE MISUSED to be a weapon. Not so, a gun. When someone kills a bunch of children with a gun, he has used the gun efficiently and well.

Period.

You gun nuts know this too. Stop pretending you don't.
