People collect all kinds of things both rare and common. There are gun collectors out there that just collect old, rare guns and there are others that collect newer guns. But, still, collectors make up a very small percentage of gun owners.

2. Home Defense. Yes, do the maths. How many police officers shot in the last 3 months? Won't bother with crazies shooting innocents, it's too obvious. try buying a dot or a burglar alarm. They're more effective. They stop people entering a property. They go next door, where a householder only has a gun and no one knows until the criminal is in the premises.

A good alarm system or a loud dog will keep you the average person safer in their home than a gun. That much is for sure.
