I own guns. I love my guns. But I'm not weird about it, I'm all about responsible gun ownership, I don't have an entire armory, and I ESPECIALLY don't open carry.

Ammosexuals give the rest of gun enthusiasts a very bad name.

I'm weird about it. But I've always been weird about it. I'm diagnosed as on the autism spectrum, and it's been a particular interest of mine since i was in elementary school. The only reason I don't have an entire armory is because I'm far, far too poor. As it is, I've got, um, 10?, I think? With three more planned, plus an SBR and silencer(s)? And yeah, I'll talk your ear off about gun rights. And motorcycles (I only have one of those).

OTOH, I also care about LGBTQ+ rights, and I'm working on an instructor certification specifically to train LGBTQ+, racial/ethnic/religious minority, SW, etc. people that aren't going to feel comfortable in any traditional gun space. If it's uncomfortable to me when an instructor goes off on a Christian nationalist rant, it's gotta be 10x worse for people that can't pass as a cis- het- white person. No one should have to deal with that shit just so they can get basic safety and marksmanship instruction.

Why... why do you not know how many guns you have?

After a while numbers are meaningless.
