No, I have never fired a weapon (wasn't conscripted, either, due to health reasons) nor do I intend to. And to answer your question yes, I'd consider someone owning 300 weapons a person in dire need of psych evaluation. And to derail your other rather far-off analogy you only need to take a look at all of Germany's history to understand why privately owned weapons never were and never will be seeing any kind of grand social acceptance here. Us Krauts aren't a society of revolutionaries - we've had two revolutions in our entire history, the French had more in a single year IIRC - so the idea that privately owned weapons would have prevented Hitler ... Pardon, but Bullsh*t!

Since my words have apparently touched a nerve and I have no intention of being dragged into a flamefest I hereby do the clever thing and say goodbye to this thread.
