If you are not missing a can in your six pack, you'd accept that stockpiling them like that and displaying them like that isn't a "hobby" but a fetish. Sane firearm owners that I know and trust with a firearm do not brag about the weapons they have and they don't put them on display like a centerfold in a Playboy. It is a sickness when you get to that level.
Collectors brag about and take pics of their collections all the time. So yeah, it's true in some cases. You're makin assumptions.
I have a mate who collects edged weapons - any culture, any era. He has several hundred of the things.
He's a good sort, but if the topic gets round to his hobby, he will go on no end about the subtle differences between Venetian and Florentine parrying daggers that appeared between 1530 and 1542, often using pics saved on his phone to illustrate his points. He will continue until forcibly stopped.
To the best of my current knowledge, he's never stabbed anyone.
