How many guns have you sold?
5? 2? 1? None?
I have sold thousands. I don't recall any customers stroking off as some here suggest.
All your assertations prove is your bias and ignorance.
Ok, I’m kind of on your side here.

Want to know why people buy guns?
There's as many reasons as there are buyers.
...
I knew one guy who used to come in - who collected - pristine new guns. He would not buy a gun that had the action repeatedly worked. (It leaves marks in the finish - if you know where to look). As far as I know - none of his guns in his collection ever got fired.
There were guys like computer geeks - they only bought the "latest and greatest". I guess they just liked being "the first kid on the block".
Me - the only "collecting" I do - that is, buying for other than reason of utility - is I buy J.C. Higgins model 20-12. It is a pump 12 gauge, single bar steel receiver. It is a Sears branded gun - made by Hi Standard (model M200). It's a great shotgun - excellent quality and they sell cheap. I have 7 of them - 2 in near new condition. The last one made was in the early 1960's. I figure the prices of them can only go up.
Do I love my guns?
No more than my car lift or my favorite Sawzall....
