Yeah, and it's starting to get a little unnerving... In the beginning I could appreciate the hobby of collecting, building, and shooting guns. In fact I was intrigued myself at one point and thought about buying some for the sake of the hobby. However, for them it has since devolved and their apartment is now pretty much filled with weapons. Luckily they are a little more left leaning with their socioeconomical and political views, but ever since they got a permit to carry I've noticed more and more that they come off like they are yearning for a reason to use them.
Yeah I don't know what to say to these folks other than they're deranged. Having a pistol or rifle for personal protection is sensible. Owning more than 5 rifles is a problem unless you're planning on being a 21st century John Brown.
At a certain point it does feel like people want a fight to happen
