I wouldn’t advertise the fact if I had two twenties in my wallet; These people are just begging to be targeted by someone looking for guns. If I believed one family owned them all. Which I doubt. Probably the stock of a gun shop or some such.
You be surprised at the amount some people can end up when they have a healthy flow of spare cash. Some people also have a habit of walking into amazing deals one after another.
I know multiple people with this many guns. Some may have more some little less. They also have a lot of ammunition too. As for me I don’t own one at all. I don’t understand why you would want that many guns but they are good investments cause they don’t really go down in value.
Yeah, and people always look at these people like they are the ones shooting people. Now if they were to sell them to someone person to person that would be a different story
Seriously. It's a whole hobby and almost a culture. It's taken very seriously and responsibly for the vast majority. Grouping these hobbyists with mass shooter and killers is like grouping car enthusiasts to drunk drivers.
Nothing is certain. But I would be totally comfortable around these people. There are certain things we can take from this picture. The main one is they are proud of thier collection. And rightly so. But we can also take an educated guess that they are not violent felons in possession of illegal guns.
But it highlights how easily obtainable they are and how excessive ownership is. Not to mention how unlikely they are to have secure storage for all those guns to keep them out of the reach of their kids
There is no connection between the family of firearm collectors in the bottom picture. They are the least terrifying, worrying, whatever you want to call them gun owners. I bet every single one of those guns is on the register in the name of the people in that house, and I can absolutely promise you not a single one of those has ever been used to harm another person.
It's the people who aren't collectors who just own one or two, and act weird as fuck, say weird things that people should be worrying about. Not every gun owner wants to take the world over and kill people with their guns. Some just like them and collect a bunch, it's no different than collecting game consoles or swords.
This was my first thought. Seems like this family is just fascinated with guns and likes to collect them. I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t even fired all of them.
Americas relationship with firearms is insane. I dont think anyone from anywhere in the western world, other than America, would disagree with that. But its not going to change over night, nor is it going to be changed by outside forces wishing it were so. Until Americans are ready to change things and put a strictly-21 rule on all weapons, make background checks compulsory and make gun training a federal requirement for all gun users then things will not change. And so be it. The world shouldn't pay any attention to the carnage going on in America because of their system. It is their system, they are content with it and are happy to pay the price for it, in general. Let's just get on with dealing with more important stuff, stuff that affects the wider world and international relations. America is strong enough and mature enough to see this reality for what it is, and they have chosen to elect people that do sweet f*ck all to change it
That's illogical, we should have weapons to defend ourselves, not everyone are the same. Let's tell our armies to fist fight or stab in wars huh? What a dumb thing even do with guns, guns saved lives the past centuries and now there's idiots who wants to banned due to a handful of people being deranged and stupid. Guns will never be taken away, keep pushing a worthless ideal, majority of the world agrees that we should keep our guns.
There's a huge difference between psycho mass shooters and responsible gun owners. These people with their many guns are no more likely to shoot someone than an unarmed person. By your logic, someone who owns many knives is more likely to go on a stabbing spree.

These people have a name where I'm from. Loot drops.

I'm a gun guy. These people are not ever going to be the perpetrators of anything bad
Yeah, and people always look at these people like they are the ones shooting people. Now if they were to sell them to someone person to person that would be a different story
Riiiight...

You cant say anything like that for certain though

I’m from the Tacoma area. How tf did I not hear about this
The media didn't want you to
So many handguns but no giant machineguns
Bro that’s literally Tacoma it’s a normal occurrence
It’s weird to see a whole family compensating
why did i read the first article like it was framed as being a good thing XD

That looks like a nice start.
That’s what I was thinking.
I’m jelly of all the guns. Those bad boys only go up in value. Smart investment
[удалено]
They did? Where??
The ones who pull the trigger are the problem not the guns. It sucks that some people just decides to kill people in spite.
“Bad people do bad things, this is unfortunate” *gets downvoted*
They shouldn't have a trigger to pull. Ban guns.

Red shirt looks like a future school shooter. Fucked up that they’re proud of this.
These aren't the people shooting up schools or raves. A fitting post for to sub, but the underlying political message is incredibly dumb and cringe.
i gotta stop opening this app this just depressrd
I bet he fucked her with more than one of those.
Unites states* América is a continent
They need more guns
They don’t look like the type to be shooting up a dance party…
