When gun nuts understand nobody wants to take your goddamn guns! All we're saying is you don't need 10, what is so hard to understand about that? Do I think there should be a limit on how many guns you should have yes do I think there should be a limit a separately on antique guns yes since I don't think anyone is going to be hunting with or shooting anyone with an antique gun.
And I don't see why most don't want to submit to psychological testing I think the only reason that they don't is that they'll be afraid that they won't pass the test which most of them won't, and they won't be able to get anymore guns

Since I'm in the military, I have a very fair grasp as to what guns are for. I believe in keeping a gun on me while down range. I also agree that guns are for hunting. There are specific guns/artillery for wartime, and they should be used as such. There are specific guns for hunting, and the same applies.
Are you at war in our own homes? Are you hunting things on the street? If you answer "no" to both of these questions, then why are you buying a gun? Because an armed populace prevents government tyranny. You take the guns & it will be Red October all over again!
In any part of my quote did I say something about taking away your guns? Your dishonesty is showing.

I am confused by your post. One buys a gun for hunting or competition or protection.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Y'know, I'm not really sure that works in practice. Even in America, you can have 50 guns if you want, but you can't shoot 50 of them at once and you don't have drones and missiles and the like. I mean, really, if the U.S. government wants to seriously flex muscles against its own people, us having guns isn't going to do much to stop them.

Even cruise missiles should be legal!

Either one uses a gun for carrying out military objectives (not necessarily limited to sidearms, of course), or one uses a gun for the legal hunting of animals for either culling the populace or feeding the people (buying the gun in this case is implied).
