A California Superior Court judge arrested last week has now been charged with killing his wife in front of their adult son at their home. Court filings reveal the judge had over 47 weapons and 26,000 rounds of ammunition in his home.

    Again, using hypothetical other people to dodge what this person did: executed a family member with a legal firearm.

      No, it was a correction of how people collecting guns is not like collecting the same toaster over and over, more like different toasters, specifically not addressing anyone’s use of them.

        But you’re specifically asking people to not treat gun collectors like toaster collectors.

        If someone had a collection of 50 toasters, people would find that weird, but generally harmless.

        But if that person then claimed to not be even slightly interested in toast, that would immediately set off warnings in people’s head.

        Why would they collect so many toasters if they didn’t like toast? It’s what toasters are for. Sure, they could maybe find some off label use for them, but that still makes it a weird choice of hobby.

        I’d definitely think they were much more interested in toast than they let on and if they were one day caught eating toast with a full erection, I wouldn’t be even slightly surprised.
