Q:  Why do people own multiple of the exact same gun?

A:  Lots of reasons, and lots of good answers already posted. I will add practice. It is possible to practice with a pistol, then clean it and get it ready for serious use. It is better in some ways to have two copies, one for practice and one for serious use. Reasons include constant readiness; less wear and tear on the main pistol; a ready spare and/or spare parts; less impact to the round in the chamber (excessive rechambering can alter the bullet seating depth and produce unhealthy pressure spikes).

Q:  Washington governor Jay Inslee is poised to sign a massive 'semiautomatic weapons' ban, saying it 'will save lives.' Do you think the ban will reduce gun violence? A:  First and foremost, it is unconstitutional. It will not last long. I predict minimal compliance and no reduction in crime rate https://www.quora.com/Washington-governor-Jay-Inslee-is-poised-to-sign-a-massive-semiautomatic-weapons-ban-saying-it-will-save-lives-Do-you-think-the-ban-will-reduce-gun-violence/answer/Greg-OKeefe-11

Q:  What is the history of gun ownership in Great Britain? A:  There are plenty of online sources for folks to look up whatever details they find interesting, but I will sum up that history in one word: tragedy. It is truly tragic that the once-great people of Great Britain have been neutered—and not by any outside invaders, but by themselves. Just as I would like to see the reaction of the American Founding Fathers to the sad state of affairs in our country, I would also be interested to see how the Brits’ own "greatest generation" would respond to the foolishness across the pond. Then again, Great Britain does not have a constitution that protects the right to keep and bear arms. Subjects, not citizens. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-history-of-gun-ownership-in-Great-Britain/answer/Greg-OKeefe-11

Q:  What is wrong with a gun license (per gun) that can be rescinded if you commit certain offences? Owning a gun without a license would be the sort of offence that would stop you getting a new license. The problem? It would hurt arms company profits. A: What is wrong with a speech license (per instance of speaking) that can be rescinded if you engage is hate speech? What is wrong with a worship license (per worship service) that can be rescinded if you are accused of having “wrong beliefs”? What is wrong with a press license (per publication) that can be rescinded if you print misinformation? If our rights depend on permission from the authority, then they are not rights, but dispensations from the government. Freedom means being able to do what you want to do, for any reason—or no reason at all. Neither permission nor persuasion nor explanation of any kind is required. Besides, you don’t need a licensing system to lose your guns if you commit certain offenses. Murder? Yep, they’...
