I figured that was the case and it's easy to think that way without a practical understanding of what is involved in a farm pest scenario.
If you have inherited Grandpa's guns that are of excellent quality (or not) that he taught you how to shoot with and you still enjoy to shoot when Why the f**k not?
If you have the means to buy a nice firearm, either because it is a historically famous, well made and accurate firearm or just something that looks great and shoots fairly well, then why the f**k not?
Some people collect stamps. Some people collect porcelain dolls. People collect all kinds of shit that they have lots of interest in and brings them great joy. Why should a law abiding, registered firearms connoisseur be denied the same right to do so just because someone who has no real world experience or appreciation for those firearms, collectively with their political likeminded mates, decide it should be so?
