I like those SIGs. Not the prettiest guns, more like fine pieces of jewelry, though.

I like to have one for every outfit/occasion.

You have 70 firearms in the closet? ;o) (using my wife as a point of reference)

I've found that anytime you ask a woman why she has so many shoes, she replies, "You just don't understand."

And I don't.

Well, between my wife and three kids I think I can account for an entire block of San Francisco townhouses myself...

“U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world’s 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies. “

There is a correlation between freedom and gun ownership. Is that what they’re trying to say? lol

sadly the libs can speak out and attack us knowing they are perfectly protected by those that they oppose.

Your comment reminded me of an interesting monologue by Michael Savage regarding liberals...

You're the ones who hate the Pentagon, you're the ones who hate the
Whitehouse, you're the ones who hate the State Capitol, the national
Capitol, you're the ones who hate Israel. And yet the F-16's that fly
overhead are there to protect you from the islamists who would cut your
throat and throw you down a well. The very values of the West, forty
years of civil rights, gay rights, feminism, reproductive choice, that's
abortion, sexual madness called freedom, the right not to worship if
you don't want to worship, in other words the marxist left's wild dream,
is protected by the very elements that you hate in this country. You the
sexually unorthodox, you the bohemian, you the poet, you the professor,
you are protected by those F-16's. You are protected by the boys who
go to church and went to church every Sunday. You are protected by the
rock rib conservatives in this country who fly over your head, who are
dying in Iraq for your sins. Civil rights, gay rights, privacy rights,
abortions, sexual madness, the right to worship or not to worship,
all protected by the boys from somewhere else who you spit at, who
you sneer at, who you mock. They're the reason you're alive, and the
reason they're dying is because of your sins. The verminous left, the
Larry Flynt left as now adopted by the Democrat party itself, the Larry
Flynt left is now the official party platform of the Democrat party. I'm
not fooling you. Everything that Larry Flynt and his ilk stood for in
the 60's and 70's has been adopted if not overtly then covertly by the
Democrat party. They have accepted this debased destroyed west.  They not
only have accepted it as the norm, they welcome it. It's the marxist
dream. The death of the family, the death of heterosexuality. Everything
that the left dreamed of has come to pass in this country.

The Germans make a few of the most expensive revolvers on the planet.

It’s based on an average. I’m certainly doing my part to raise the average.

We’re having our first baby in early December.
Therefore, statistically speaking, I need more guns.

This is good news. So when the Islamics start their open warfare here in post-911, Americans will be defending hearth and home against the invaders.

90 per 100 is surely a good start.

moderatly OK for quantity, but what about QUALITY? How many .50cals? How many 20mms? How many of those EVIL LIMOUSINE PIERCING RIFLES ARE OUT THERE TO WORRY TYRANTS LIKE HENRY EARWAX? Not enough.

My problem with the NRA is that joining it in essence places you on a registry list if their data is ever stolen or confiscated by gun grabbers.

" U.S. most armed country with 90 guns per 100 people..."

Perhaps that explains why our sleeper cells remain sleeping and well behaved... And not acting like this:

...but then again, we do have some that come out in the San Fran area... *sigh*

Come on people we need 100 guns for every 100 people. We all need to go out and buy, buy, buy until we can achieve 100 out of 100!

Everyone needs at least a shotgun for home defense and a small handgun for road trips. And if you live in the country, you'll need a small caliber long gun for varmits. So your proposal would leave at least half of the population unarmed.
