Come on Lemmy, you can't have it both ways. How are we going to stage a massive revolution and die horribly in the process if we don't have a shit ton of guns?
Fewer guns leaves more room in the safe (& budget) for ammunition.
I mean, at most you’d only need like three per person. Long gun, sidearm, and maybe a backup long gun.
I guess you could make the argument that this parent was simply trying to arm an entire family of four. It’s not a good argument. But we’ve already established that these aren’t good parents.
90's shooters taught me that the ideal amount of weapons to carry is 9, with a 10th one ideally becoming available at the end of your adventure
Right so the guy with extra guns can give them to those with less.
I think if all civilian guns were equally distributed you do get about 3 guns per person
