- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

As someone who isn't a gun nut but was in the military, the size of the nutter's collections for their own purported defense is cartoonish. You can only ever use one gun at a time well, you only have 2 hands, and training yourself to reflexively lean into all the specific nuances of a single weapon within its class will make you far more dangerous than having a rotation of pistols, rifles, etc.
Using, training on, cleaning, a 92FS in my case until it feels like an extension of myself will yield better results than those yucks that use their 1911 twice a year, their Glock 17 twice a year, their 92FS twice a year, their FN five-seven twice a year, etc. It's fashion over function for those types.
I've read an argument that gun nuts are just like car guys. Their interest is purely a nerdy fascination. But car guys lost their cool looking cars in the name of safety and efficiency. Gun nuts don't want to lose their cool guns for safety reasons, so they justify their collections by saying its for their own safety or to protect the country from tyrants.
Found the FUDD...why do you have more than one of anything? One tv? You can only watch one at a time. Two computers? Only can use one at a time. Two cars? Can only drive one at a time... your military experience means fuck all trying to speak like you're an expert.
Reading comprehension is overrated, ain't it?
Just for the record, you can use multiple computers at the same time, I do so on the regular
