I post about money quite frequently. Gun collecting is generally a waste of it unless you know 100% what you're doing. The thieves that are robbing this country blind (Counterfeiter Ben and friends) don't need guns to do their robbing, and the best way to defend against their thievery is to own hard assets. Guns: it's hard to rent 'em, can't live in them, can't eat 'em, can't use them to power stuff, and most ways of making money with them are illegal or at least unethical.
