The media is always saying, “oh my god, look at how many guns and how much ammunition that person has!”
It really isn’t that many. Ladies, how many purses do you have? Guys, how much sports stuff do you have? That is how many guns a shooter has. Then he has ammunition for all of them. The ammunition becomes like extra food in the pantry. It’s on sale, so I’ll use it eventually. Do that for a couple years, and how much do you end up with?
The news doesn’t tell the entire truth. Find out the whole story before you say, “oh my God!”
What should you be worried about in gun collections when you see them on the news? Worry if there is over 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and/or if someone has dozens of the exact same gun (if they show pictures and it looks like they are all exact copies).
If there is nothing else but some guns on the news, it’s a slow news day and they are trying to build fear so you will watch.
My company’s motto is part of what this blog is about, “No one should live in fear!” The way to do that is knowledge.
Continue to learn and be a student for the rest of your life. Learn the entire story from the news before making a decision.
Stay Safe,
Ben
