The culture of gun ownership has changed a lot in my lifetime. IMO the fact that it's now fairly normal to own a small armory is more significant than the total number of people who own more than zero guns.
- mc32 4y agoI think part of that is disposable money. Compared to any time before the 80s people can more easily afford a firearm.
- asdff 4y agoThey've become collectible. Some guns are pretty cheap too, a few hundred. If you spend a few hundred a year on new guns, probably the amount most people pay for hobby collections of any sort, you'd have a pretty substantial armory before long. Manufactures cash in too. You can get a bright pink pistol for example, if that fits your style.
