Default RE: Too much gun?

Nope, can't have too much gun.

Look, people in general are stupid, impractical, naive, and incredibly gullible to advertising. If a gun company can convince just one moron that he needs to buy a .460 Wby for "all purpose" hunting, and he can convince just one of his 3 friends that they need one too...well, it doesn't take long before everybody needs one.

Does he need that .460? Will he ever shoot anything with it that can't be adequately killed with something smaller and cheaper? Will he ever have to defend himself from some charging wild beast that no other gun could possibly save him but the 460 will? No, no, and amazingly enough, no.

But is it his right to have that .460 and hunt anything that he wants to with it in the statues of the law? You betcha.

And God bless those laws that lets us own what we want for what we want.
