A California Superior Court judge arrested last week has now been charged with killing his wife in front of their adult son at their home. Court filings reveal the judge had over 47 weapons and 26,000 rounds of ammunition in his home.

Take a moment to admire the marketing of the gun manufacturers for a minute. Like, imagine someone having 47 toasters.
Gun Manufacturers and the NRA (same thing) are good at what they do.
That’s not really a fair comparison though. They all handle and fire different. This piece of shit is still a piece of shit, but collecting different guns is more akin to “I participate in 10,000 point fights with my choice of Orks or Blueberry Spacemarines” than toasters.
Noone needs that but that’s a hobby.
All toasters toast differently too.
I mean yeah, if someone had 50 different toasters that apply different patterns we wouldn’t bat an eye at it because that’s a hobby.
A hobby he killed his wife with because it’s a hobby that appeals to shitheads.
At least we agree that it’s mostly the shitheads that are the problem, not so much the hobby. I’m pretty sure this shithead would have killed his wife if his hobby was hiking or cosplay too.
Ever hear the story of the nuclear boy scout? Now thats a hobby no one should be allowed to have.
You can wax hypothetical about what abusers would have done, but they overwhelmingly use guns, since they’re great for threatening people or executing them in an instant with a slim chance of survival or intervention.
well yeah, they’re literally designed to do that.
Shitheads get into all hobbies. Some hobbies are more dangerous than others, and need more safety than others.
You know what’s a dangerous hobby that ALSO appeals to masculinity-troubled people? Modding cars to go faster and drift harder. You can tool around in them legally and if you drive like a shithead you can drive through a crowd. Modding pickups is also a big shitwaffle magnet. Still a hobby.
I avoided the whole “are guns the problem” subject in my comment for a reason. My comment served to illustrate that collecting large numbers of “Object” is a hobby. Whether or not the hobby is good, or bad, or dangerous, or safe, was not my comment.
Again, using hypothetical other people to dodge what this person did: executed a family member with a legal firearm.
No, it was a correction of how people collecting guns is not like collecting the same toaster over and over, more like different toasters, specifically not addressing anyone’s use of them.
But you’re specifically asking people to not treat gun collectors like toaster collectors.
If someone had a collection of 50 toasters, people would find that weird, but generally harmless.
But if that person then claimed to not be even slightly interested in toast, that would immediately set off warnings in people’s head.
Why would they collect so many toasters if they didn’t like toast? It’s what toasters are for. Sure, they could maybe find some off label use for them, but that still makes it a weird choice of hobby.
I’d definitely think they were much more interested in toast than they let on and if they were one day caught eating toast with a full erection, I wouldn’t be even slightly surprised.
Guns are a stupid and dangerous hobby, though. If Warhammer was responsible for thousands of deaths per year, I would not want to contribute to that, and I’d find something else to do.
Easy to scare limp dick conservatives
You think this guy has 47 guns because he’s scared? Really???
People who buy 1 gun are scared, people who buy 47 guns are scared people with an expensive hobby.
