Private citizen's don't need guns for self defense. Many want guns. Sometime the adults have to step in and set the ground rules.

Gun lovers tend to be paranoid control freaks with antisocial tendencies. All of which fits well with the 'libertarian' political pseudo-philosophy.

Not all perhaps it's paranoid control freaks with antisocial tendencies tend to be gun lovers. Some are just people who like to hunt.

What a hoot! Now Vermont is no longer a part of the East. Typical response.
Oh, I forgot. The 'civilized East'. As defined by him.

Obviously written by someone who has not spent much time in Vermont. But we're off topic. Vermonters don't need to protect themselves against home invasions, except perhaps by bears. In the District, lacking bears other than at the zoo, we're pretty much home free.

People who like to hunt only own the arms needed to hunt. When the person own 20 or more weapons, it has turned into something else, right?

If they were all hunting rifles and shotguns, I would call the person an avid collector, so numbers alone don't matter IMO.
