“I have seen men throw away so much money on firearms and ammo. It’s like women and shoes for some guys.”
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...
Dammit Clutch! You need to hammer this down!
Paragraph breaks are vital, if you want people to read your posts.
Why do I have body work hammers? I don’t do body work.
Ammo is a commodity, like gold. It stores well, retains value, and has use. It can be used, or it can be passed like as other parts of your estate if you don’t eventually use it.
If that is how you get your food, then good on you. I respect hunting for food. At least you’re not contributing to factory farming. It’s just not my thing. Like I said, I’m pretty minimalist. Pretty much just rice, beans and potatoes. Fresh fruits and vegetables I grow myself mostly. That’s it.
I’m not talking about having a couple of weapons that you actually use. That’s great! I’m just talking about the men I’ve seen who are compulsive spenders is when it comes to firearms. It’s like the hoarder mentality. Same with guys who spend a lot of money on their vehicles. I’m like “what the hell? “.
Thanks for that, I don’t care what anyone says that was funny.
But if I had too, I have body hammers and buck bar...
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.
Reloading is simple and very cheap. Highly recommend it to all.
I remember quite well. I was an arsenal manager then and I remember trying to scrape together enough 5.56 for a training class.

IMHO, poorly written, poorly thought out, and reads like most “climate change” articles...
How well do shoes hold their value?
Think of all the money you’ve wasted on nails.
Having spent 22 years in the military, 2000 rounds means marksmanship practice.
Use it or lose it!
It is NOT like riding a bike.
Range time = accuracy.
