Shrug... I always assume gun enthusiasts have a dozen or more. If you're going to have one or two, you may as well have a dozen. You can only pop one at a time anyway.
I know many folks don't like guns but since guns are allowed, it's worth understanding that collecting them and learning about them is a hobby just like any other.
All gun enthusiasts I know have many. And if I could be arsed going through the necessary paperwork of getting ownership permits (Not murican), I would as well.
Guns are like tattoos. If you're into them, you probably have a bunch.
I'm not what you'd call an "enthusiast", I just hunt. And between friends and relatives, you just kinda end up with extra shotguns and rifles. I give some to new hunters but it seems like the old relatives all get out of it and if they know you hunt, you end up with them
I read these stories about "lunatic gunman had a dozen firearms" and cue up look-away-meme.
I dunno, a friend of mine has a couple mp5s and you can definitely akimbo them. It's absurdly fun too
