        Why would a 77 year old need 75 guns? The idiocy is astounding.

        It's a clear telling of the facts. There's a demonstrable political movement to curtail the 2nd Amendment. There is no such movement to curtail the 1st. Comparing yourself to this 77 year old is what reeks of desperation.

        I'd argue that TV stations reading out scripts saying some reporters are dangerous (Sinclair, Google it) is an attack on 1A. No one is saying curtail 2A, just make it harder to own specific types of guns.

        Except that we have numerous liberals and a sitting Supreme Court Justice arguing for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment. You say only particular models of guns, but the tide will never stop until gun ownership is outright banned.

        Well the 77 yo's generation wasn't used as literal human shields to protect their elders' hobby. Our 17 yo's were born in a post Columbine era where they've been told they might be brutally murdered while learning to read. I think the 17 yo's are invested in this movement #Enough

        One person needing to own 75 guns is already a problem. But hopefully, his way of thinking will be replaced by the 17 year old who can see the insanity of clinging to guns so much.

        Yeah, what's the point of having so many guns? Even if the old fart is responsible with guns and won't be using them for the wrong reasons, it doesn't mean those weapons can't fall into the wrong hands now his name is in the media and the number of guns in his possession.

        It's OK with me if this gentleman owns 75guns as long as he is mentally stable and non of the guns are automatics. It's the unstable people and automatic weapons that need to be addressed. Keep it up guys!!!!

        Due to privacy laws, it’s very difficult to get guns away from unstable people. Or even determine who is unstable & who just loves guns & violence.

        77M statistically more likely to "go away" than 17F - just sayin'
