Not a bug, a feature
Our reasons for owning guns were once noble.
Some people wanted them for personal protection.
Some wanted them for hunting and sport.
Others wanted them just to collect, display and admire.
But nowadays, we have a skyrocketing number of people who want guns simply because they believe someone else doesn’t want them to have them.
I have cases of incandescent light bulbs for the exact same reason. Next thing you know, they’ll be protesting or something.

If I recall Lexington and Concorde correctly, the colonials mainly wanted guns then because the British didn’t want them to have guns.

I’m stocking up on pre-ban bulbs as well.

Fake it till you make it. I own guns for personal protection, sport, and to collect, display and admire. But if some a-holes (many, actually, as I lived in Cali at the time) didn’t want me to have them, I may never have gotten into them to begin with.
