Normally, I don’t see men as being huge wasters of money. However, this area can be a huge exception. I have seen men throw away so much money on firearms and ammo. It’s like women and shoes for some guys. I say that, because I just really don’t understand the hobby. I’m a minimalist. Hey, spend on what you like. But damn I don’t get it.

I hear you...

And I got to thinking on it. That my garage and in my shed I have a large ball peen hammer a small ball peen hammer, three or four Carpenters hammers, a sledgehammer, a framers hammer, two hand sledges, a bricklayer’s hammer, a geology hammer, a tack hammer, a small Carpenter’s hammer for the kitchen, a rubber hammer, non sparking hammer, a small hammer for delicate pins and such... and that’s just hammers! I don’t know how that happened...

It is a disease. It is called GAD (Gun acquisition Disorder). Though very common, not a lot is known about it. It seems to be chromozone related (XY) and very infectious. It seems to be incurable, but it has known to go into remission for long periods and flare back up for no apparent reason.

Those with XX chromosomes seem to be very resistant to GAD, but they have a similar disease called SAD (Shoe Acquisition Disorder) that seems to be more prevalent and just as incurable.
