Yup. My father owns more guns than he knows about. Conservatively I'd guess it's around 200. I have owned a Glock 23 in the past, and used it for target shooting. I've been shooting rifles and pistols as long as I can remember. I passed a CCW class that was hosted in my parents' backyard, only not bothering to get my permit because it costs $100. I know guns, I've used guns, I'm comfortable with guns. I like them just fine.

But let me say this: there is no legitimate reason for a private civilian to have assault weapons, anti-materiel rifles, and minor explosives such as tanarite. I've used them all, and they are dangerous and have no purpose beyond killing people or being cool. My father is insane, but luckily not in a violent way. He just as easily could be violent and it's absurd that this shit is just allowed.

Keep your hunting rifles. I like venison just fine. But there's no place in the US for AR15s and other assault weapons. For that matter, I'm all for banning pistol magazines with higher capacities. You don't need that shit.
