Whoa. Full stop. Let's parse some words here - it's what we do isn't it? The conversation was about A LOT of guns. Not multiple guns. The hunter who has multiple guns probably hunts for different game. That's not the same as the guys in Idaho who are "protecting" their land from the government with 200-300 assorted guns and cases of ammunition. It's the same difference as washing your hands a lot and washing your hands every time you touch something - one's a compulsion/obsession.
Off the box and on to the story. My best friend in grade school had a father who was a hunter - every weekend during hunting season. He had multiple guns. He took us shooting one weekend (we were 14) with a pump action bb gun and a .22 rifle. I guess as girls, there wasn't the fascination to go looking for the guns after that. We knew they were there in the basement, but never went to go look for them or play with them. His beer stash however, that's a different story.
