They dump the weapons on the counter and announce, "I’m getting married and my fiancée says it’s either me or the guns."

I'm sorry, but these guys need to realize that an ultimatum like this indicates some deep problems for the marriage down the road. An inflexible "my-way-or-the-highway" mentality combined with deep ideological differences is a bad time in the making.

I'm afraid that if someone said this to me, it would be an indication to me that this wasn't the right person for me.

I'm the type of person that when told something like this will force your hand. I would keep the guns and tell her walk or stay, it makes no difference to me, I'm keeping the guns. I can always find another woman.

I agree, if a potential spouse demands some fundamental change (other than marital fidelity) in a mate, saying either give up what you love or I'm leaving, then you're headed down a bad path. Keep the guns. There are other women.

I know a man, originally from Florida, whose wife helped him pack him guns before they moved to New Jersey. Since then she has changed her opinion about guns -- now we call her "Sarah Brady." I think that the only thing that is keeping them together is their two kids.
