having several firearms doesn't make you a hoarding redneck. being a hording redneck makes you a hording redneck...
some people legitimately want to collect firearms. they seek the permits they need, register the weapons they own, and insure them against theft...which ties those weapons to them...
they have no intention of killing anyone, they just think the weapons are worthy of being collected, for whatever their reasons, and i have no problem with that.
having several pistols, rifles, shotguns, and thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammo, none of which are registered, or insured, makes you a redneck horder...
there are 5 firearms in my house, and about 400 rounds of ammo...one is pretty much a curiosity piece (a Taurus curve) that i hardly ever fire.
i carry a Ruger ec9s, my girlfriend has a S&W m&p shield ez, i have a 20 gauge shotgun, and a 9mm hi-point carbine...i got the carbine for home protection, but honestly, the 20 with birdshot is more than suffiecient home protection for anything but the end of the world, i may trade the carbine for a hunting rifle, just in case i have to start putting meat on the table..
i don't feel like a horder, i have a carry weapon, she has a carry weapon, i have a weapon for home protection, and one to feed us with (kind of, at the moment)...that's all i want, and is really more than i need. if they outlawed assault weapons, including carbines, i'd turn it in...without crying about my rights...
