One gun, a 22 single shot rifle I never fired. The last time I shot a gun was in 1962. I was in the service. It was a 45 cal hand gun at the range. A wonderful piece. I have nothing against guns or the law abiding people that own them. I just have no interest in them. It was my wife's influence. Before I got married I liked to hunt and trap. It wasn't important afterwards. Now if you want to talk cars or motorcycles that's a different story. My voter registration says Independent.
