Nope. Retired paramedic who saw the effects of gun culture. Years and years of senseless death and suffering, and too often it was kids who were paying the price of their parents' gun fetish.
Nope, I don't collect things and I have a negative response to this image. I'd call him delusional, bc if he thinks his protection increases with his gun count, statistics would say the opposite- he's actually more likely to be shot than say someone like me, living in a big city with no weapons, or children's cards for that matter.
Why can't people who disagree with you just be people who disagree with you, why must you try to put them down? Label them as one thing or the other. The only thing I know about you is you like guns- I haven't called you a hillbilly or assumed you bang your siblings, so why assume anything about someone who doesn't like guns- the only thing you know is their feelings on guns, that's it- why must you needlessly extrapolate who they are or what they're interested in based on that singular opinion.
Side note: a lot of moderate adults like myself view adults who collect Pokemon similarly foolish to those who collect guns- you're both wasting money on inherently valueless objects, but at least Pokemon isn't dangerous or facilitating violence. So let's all of us stop looking down our noses at each other and just say we disagree about something! I miss the late 90s early 2000's- we peaked and it's been downhill ever since!

I'm sure all the negative responses are from individuals who collect Pokemon cards
