I'm not against gun ownership. Like Keith, I enjoy using them on occasion just for entertainment, which has probably been only twice in the last 15 years that I can recall. I think that if you have a good screening process and make sure people lock their guns up when they aren't using them, they are safe. How many people die in car accidents a year but there isn't a huge lobby to get rid of cars? There are just lobby groups to make driving safer by better equipped cars, stricter testing, harsh penalties for DWI, etc.

I'll ask my friend, but I believe the real reason they have multiple guns that are identical is because they have this hobby as a family. The guns they only have 2 each of are older and were bought as a couple. The guns where there are 3 each are the two of them and one for their daughter, who they hunt and shoot with now that she's old enough. The single ones are the more expensive ones, like the mounted Browning .30 caliber (M1919A4). They've been together for a while, so they buy about 2-3 guns each per year.

Hey look, Dane Cook did Keith's joke:

Alright, it is an impressive gun collection... but I wouldn't say rabbit hunting unless I wanted to hear "you use assault rifles to kill rabbits?! OH MY GAWD!!" It's a collection of military looking firearms with two mini-14 or mini-30's in there, which someone would be more inclined to use to hunt rabbit, coyote, etc. People with a gun collection that large tend to put them in multiple gun safes, each safe costs about as much as one of the ar-15 rifles.

edit: A HUGE gun safe would cost about as much as an ar-15

Interestingly enough, Fark.com is referring to the shooter as Sideshow Bob. I support this nickname.

Did anyone notice that the image Keith used for the show in reference to being slimmed is from a Canadian Kids show called "You Can't Do That on Television" not the kids game show they were talking about in the podcast?

I used to love that show when I was a kid.

Also, Alanis Morisette was on that show: http://www.ycdtotv.com/cast/index.php?p=morissette

Re John Roy's statement about how resisters to government overreach would need government troops on their side to do anything, that organization already exists. It's a pretty big deal. Oath Keepers » Oath Keepers – Guardians of the Republic

Anyone hear about that new 'Netscape Arena?' They are planning on building it in Detroit...

The fact of the matter is when it comes to opinions on gun control, no side will ever be swayed one way or another, and that's okay. It just seems like with these hot button issues there is never a peaceful discourse. Someone will yell and scream and leave with hurt feelings.

I used to be really into firearms/shooting (i've posted about it before) but not so much anymore. I've owned my share of what's classified as "assault weapons" here and again and I've never hurt myself or anyone else. Then again, just because I didn't doesn't mean other people won't.

I am okay with stricter laws on guns, and honestly I don't think it's so crazy. I think the background check screening needs to be more thorough. Check mental history. Quite frankly, make folks undergo a psych eval before purchases and have them re-up every six months. Also, limit the amount of guns to be able to be purchased in a given year. (Sorry, there is absolutely no need to buy 10 guns in a year) You should also have to take a few courses so you're not an idiot with it.

People should be allowed to own guns, however we have to have sensible restrictions.
