"private citizens stockpiling guns is a no-no "

What the hell does that even mean?

My bro-in-law owns a plethora of guns he uses for hunting and sport shooting as well as few which are generally considered collectable (mainly of the ww2 era and an old colt revolver).

I worked in the reloading industry and knew many people who had tons of guns. Varied calibers, makers, years, etc and so on.

My boss walked around the office with a handgun at his side, double barreled shotgun by the door, and we had more ammo in there than most gun stores (which is to be expected in this case).

What other things do you want to limit people to owning?
