WRONG again.

Investments are designed to make money.

Most people buying multiple guns do so as a hobby apnd not as a means to generate income.

People buying large amounts of ammo generalky do so to hedge against price increases and shortages. They plan to use them and not resale them.

-your spouse

-your children

You and I agree on absolutely nothing....except maybe that this is very sadly a pertinent question very much worth asking today. Those who support things as they with guns are are supporting a daily suicide lottery. And any of the above could be next to go.

I would argue that people who feel they need to stockpile weapons to protect them from a tyrannical government have the irrational fear.

How many have been shot by our government as compared to the number shot by mass shooters?

Life is not without risks. Those victims could have died by other ways.

Banning a tool instead of mandatorily locking up mentally defunct people will always be a failure.

We are doing neither. Instead, guns are readily available for the mentally deranged who roam free.

How many of its own citizens did Germany and the USSR murder?

How many of you gun stockpilers could a "government" kill by a drone?

Maybe one or more of those on your list would be a LEGAL gun owner with LEGAL right to carry gun and would LEGALLY stop attempted mass shooting. Maybe instead of mass conditioning people into thinking gun control is only solution stop the gun free zones, educate people about how many crimes are prevented each year by guns, allow legal gun owners to carry as per the laws covering this. Maybe its time to make those considering a mass shooting wonder how many LEGAL gun owners properly trained are going to be anywhere they go.

Lock them up. Mandatorily commit them.
