I would have saved the guns and let the little woman tread water. I don’t understand this mentality. My wife is happy when I buy another gun. After I’m gone my wife knows how to sell the guns she doesn’t want and what friends get all the reloading equipment. I’m not a hoarder, but after the recent shortages I have stocked up on components. One can never have enough ammo, when the inlaws show up and want to go to the range. A guy should limit the amount of guns he owns to the amount of shoes his wife owns. It goes both ways, neither my wife or myself ever tell someone “he or she won’t let me.”
I think it is part of the culture my wife grew up in. Her parents still think Obama was the best President since Clinton and before that LBJ. They didn’t like Carter, probably because he was military.
On our first date 28 years ago, we discussed gun control and we differed greatly in our beliefs. I think 28 years later, even though she votes Republican, that is still in the back of her mind.
I’ll go back to buying them. Just waiting for a crisis so it doesn’t go to waste.
