      I don’t quite understand why that make such a big deal over the number of them. It’s not like they’re some 20 armed Hindu god, you can only carry and operate so many at one time.

        Because it speaks to the mindset of the family. They have better than $20,000 dollars worth of guns and ammo strewn around the house and hanging on the walls as decorations. They are gun fetishists and have clearly passed on that mindset to their child.

        Probably the same reason the media does most things, it gets clicks. I agree with you though, I know people that have a huge number of guns, but they collect them, and it doesn’t make them any more dangerous than some guy with 2 unless they’re trying to arm a group of people with old hunting rifles and weirdly specific revolvers of all different calibers.
