Oh they are around, I'm just curious is it a significant majority. Worthy of Christians selling out the birth of Christ to promote. Doesn't sound like it's a majority on this board which is good to see.

Besides YOU brought up Chicago. I wasn't even thinking about Chicago. Not sure what your are attempting to argue about, or what got you so worked up and defensive. I didn't start this thread as a shot at anyone (you), so no need to break down and resort to lame shots.
I'm not arguing anything, merely stating my opinion. I don't think any point I made was complicated or convoluted, my sincere apologies for your confusion.

I was asking about your point about the thread..... And why you felt it lacked common sense? Where you taking a shot just to take a shot? That seems lame if there was no reason to it, but I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt hoping there was some point.
Hating on someone's thread just for the heck of it.... Bringing up Chicago out of nowhere and off topic just to ask why I mentioned Chicago in my reply to your post about Chicago? You're flailing as a poster around here, and I hate to see it.

So far it looks like 1 person around here feels a tingle in their spine when they see these Deck the Halls with AK-15's Christmas pics.

Guns are like tattoos. People accumulate thrm for reasons I can't fathom and having them doesn't make you nearly as cool or special as you think.
Or I'm just jelly I don't have any or can't get that pleasure out of them.

As a person with more firearms than necessary, I feel attacked by this post.

I reread the entire thread. I don't see anyone who remotely resembles this remark.

There's no such thing as a "necessary" amount.

Whatever one thinks is necessary is the necessary amount.

...sort of.
Remind me of what you're referring, please ?
I'm a little lost.

I actually just sold some of mine. Ones that I don't use anymore, or never really did but inherited them, because I needed room in my safe...for more guns that I have my eye on...

I've literally only sold one gun, ever. A Glock 30s that I bought as a CCW but I ended up preferring my CZ RAMI so I sold the Glock to a friend via private party transfer. Aside from that I doubt I'll ever sell anything I won. One, I have a large safe with plenty of room and two, the list of firearms my father sold makes me weep (including a Luger P08 my grandfather brought back from WW2. Yes, I know, it makes me sick), hence I will never sell anything I own to avoid making similar mistakes.

Sold all of mine. As far as anybody knows I don't own any.

Eh, none of these were anything special. The only potential value they really held was sentimental, but I have the most important ones in that area. I do try to be more of a minimalist with things. I would almost get myself down to the core five if I didnt want to hold on to some older ones and if I didn't have a Glock obsession.

Here's someone who agrees with OP;

It's amazing how much they could infer from these pictures. Truly impressive.

Another deliberate mischaracterization of what I posted, and a violation of the CoC. I used to defend you when other people called you out, no longer. Having to lie on the internet to score points is probably as sad a thing as a person can do, so I suppose I should feel sorry for you.
