last I checked, when your car collection is stolen, it is not immediately in the hands of people looking to bring pain upon others... same with any of the other "collections" out there. Wanna guess how most illegal guns are made illegal? That is right. It comes from idiots with arsenals who come home to find the crooks now have their arsenal. The best part is, everyone in the neighborhood was aware of said arsenal because people with arsenal's can't wait to tell everyone about and show everyone their guns.

So, you are not deranged for having a collection, you are deranged for pretending said collections have nothing to do with the huge illegal gun market.

So pretty much you would agree that we should penalize law-abiding citizens because of the existence of criminals. What a wonderfully horrible idea.

How about instead we realize that the problem is not with the guns, nor the people buying "arsenals" legally. The problem is...criminals. (Surprise! [rolleyes]) In order to fix a problem, the root cause needs to be identified first. Of course, judging by your comments, you don't want to identify the root cause, because you'd rather see the Second Amendment slowly destroyed. Your real angle isn't to reduce crime. You're simply using crime as a reason to disarm the population. What you fail to realize is that the criminals will always get weapons. If you were actually concerned with reducing crime and making the world a safer place, you would deal with the problem at hand, instead of putting up a smoke screen to veil an agenda. [thumbdown]
