I'd bet good money I've shot more automatic weapons than you've ever seen outside of a computer game, and even if I could legally own them my collection would look pretty much the same as it does right now. I appreciate history and character in a gun alot more than I care about how many rounds it can fire.
And chances are that in the next year I am going to have to "actually shoot some people". The thought doesn't appeal to me. War's not a game, I know plenty of guys who've pulled the trigger and none of them are happy about it. What's more, I've known guys didn't come back, or didn't come back whole. I do this because I believe in it, not because it's cool, or fun. It's not.
Oh, and I've got to give you credit MT2008. You know our laws better than most of the people I sell guns to.
