The "why do you need more than one" question

[Alan]

Non-gun people don't get why you need multiple guns of the same type. To them, a rifle is a rifle. How do you even explain it? Or do you just stop trying? I've given up explaining why I need three ARs. Let me know if you've found words that actually work.

I just quit explaining things. If someone wants to get it, they'll ask good questions. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

The second amendment says NOTHING about need.

When confronted with people like this my response is, "I am a certified instructor, meet me at the range, and I will show you the differences, and even let you try shooting a couple of different types of firearms. Some will take you up on the invitation, others will prefer to stick to their preconceived notions and ignorance. Talking to those types of know it all's is simply beating your gums together and mostly a waste of time. However, the ones that do accept your invitation will usually at least come away with a different point of view. After being properly introduced many will end up converts and become gun owners themselves. It's simply another case of where actions speak louder than words.

@Alan I just ask them why they need so many golf clubs, trinkets, cars whatever. Guns are no different, they are a hobby (and much more). And, just cuz.

As I read through all the responses above, I see cute and self righteous comments, but nothing to address the problem or try to educate or change the point of view of those who in their ignorance have fallen victim to the leftists. These leftists have mounted an organized assault on our country. This is done by placing unwarranted doubt and fear into the minds of those who do not have the wherewithal to think for themselves and follow whomever is speaking the loudest.

I hope that none of you making these smart comments here are making them out in public. If so you are just as much a part of the problem as those who believe in gun control and all of the rest of the leftist agenda.

Instead of cracking wise, try to talk intelligently and convert those who think that the leftist agenda is in the best interests of this country.
