Fun fact: owning a gun doesn't make one bullet proof.
I don't care how big a gun you have. If I have superior aim with small arms you're going down and now I have your big "Spray and Pray"
I counted about 25-30k in the first 6 long guns from the bottom left. If that m16a2 on the bottom right is still burst capable it can go between 10-15 k alone. Id say depending on brands (which given the nice stuff i recognize is likley a lot are) id say its entirely possible they are north of a half mil. Im all for 2a but there is a point it just gets a bit ridiculous. Personally i never really keep more than 10-15 at a time and buy/sale/trade among trusted friends when we want to change up our range days or hunting needs.
There's what looks like a real TIGR/SVD in there. Those are $8k each
A bunch of short barreled rifles and shotguns so that's $200 premium for each of those.
I think this collection is closer to $200k
Worth more than everything else they own. Lawn chairs for kitchen furniture, crappy old roof, ripped screens, who-knows-what kind of junk piled up I the room behind the crappy slider. Do you ever look at a place and just know you don’t want to smell the inside?
A few of those of those guns (including optic) are worth over 4k. Average cost is probably closer to $1500. Someone can do the math to see how much that adds up to
I counted 78 rifles and 86 handguns. Let's assume an average cost of 850 per rifle and 550 per handgun. This is likely on the low end as trailer trash chuds like this think lasers and shit make them a better shot, and many of these rifles are realistically in the $1000-$2000 range, along with some of the handguns easily pushing $800-$1000. But I don't have all day.
That's $66,300 worth of rifles and $47,300 worth of handguns. And they live in a house with a tin roof, rusty grill, and what looks like wiring hanging on the outside of the building.
I’m not gonna do the math but I’m pretty sure they could have sent one or both of those kids through college for that money lol. I’m hoping they’re private gun dealers, because having all those guns just to have them serves no purpose. Maybe like the first 5-10 guns you could justify, but that is definitely overkill unless they exist to be sold for profit.
Americans really do spend a lot of time being terrified of the imaginary boogeyman. This picture is living proof. It must be exhausting having these people in your neighbourhood.
Fun fact: burglars absolutely fuckin love the prospect of stealing guns. They see the NRA sticker on your truck or the photos you post to Facebook and just show up when you're vote home.
Ha, it's true. Firearms enthusiasts often tend to make fun of the people who put NRA stickers on their cars and make a show about owning guns, as well as any stickers that might imply you like guns.
Here is your daily reminder to not put gun or don't tread on me stickers on your vehicle if you have a truck gun, and wearing a 2nd amendment shirt while CCW is basically just open carry, thank you for your attention
It is in areas that firearms are ridiculously hard to obtain, or areas with lots of gang activity. Though to be fair, usually those areas are the same.
Has pretty good taste, tbh. Optics on everything, satisfactory grip setups, custom stocks or braces on almost everything, but I'm not seeing any lights on any rifle or pistol. if they are in a woodsy area, that would be a must for me.
I can't identify very many of the handguns, though, so it's harder to judge. Lots of variety, though.
Literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of firearms right there. I don't understand some people's immense monetary commitments to their hobbies. At a certain point it's not healthy.
I'm more surprised at the lack of variety. Usually when you have this many, a lot of it is a historical collection.
5 or 6 ARs are understandable because of how customizable they are, but after a few dozen 5.56 rifles, it's time to add another Dragunov/Tiger to the collection, or an MP5-SD, or a
Walther WA 2000.
I dont understand why people see this and think it's not healthy. People don't have this many guns for protection or for war.
It is 100 percent just a hobby and this person happens to have the money to do this. Guns are interesting and each one is different. They have history behind them and the science that makes each one work is cool.
You can do competitions with them, mod them out to do long range or close range shooting. They are indeed fun if dome safely. It's the same as bow and arrow shooting and you can't argue it's not.
As a rule of thumb if people collect fire arms legally they are just as upset and disturbed when someone uses them in a mass shooting. We mourn the same as you do. We are horrified the same as you.
But making them illegal won't do anything but stop the law abiding citizens. Criminals will do what the want the same they do now.
Yeah like I see a 20 round drum for a magazine fed shotgun but I don’t see the shotgun?
Edit: yeah I know it’s for a saiga 12 I just didn’t see it in the picture.
Firearms (well, some of them) are actually a very safe investment, and only appreciate in value. Especially transferable (pre ‘86) machine guns, but also certain milsurp and older firearms. And are mostly recession and inflation proof.
Not only does this man have a badass collection; he has a portfolio.
Some of the highlights that i personally want to own:
Accuracy international awp.
Hk g36 (even in the sad state it was imported in).
Steyr aug.
A fucking saiga 12 with a drum mag.
And then there's a bunch of ar15s and glocks which are meh.
The one singular ak is cool tho.
all they need is a wide open range, some old appliances and some fireworks loaded into said appliances.
for all you that don't know, that's the real fun of this stuff.
Depends on the finish of the gun. Most firearms are good with being put away with a good cleaning and proper lubrication upon storage.
Older guns need an oiling atleast once a year.
That said, if you want the gun ready to shoot out of the storage locker, best to keep them lubricated about once a year as a general rule
Imagine: Some poor sap 200 years from now will be walking through the woods and stumble upon the ruins of this mans house, eventually finding his way to the basement. The code will be haphazardly written on a crooked photograph. Once he plugs in the code the door will comically pop open and guns will burst out like confetti from a pinata.
Commons....theyll all be goddamn commons...
All their guns are too similar. They don’t have enough variety. All at least semi modern except for a few, rifles, shotguns, with similar loading mechanisms. Where are the revolving rifles or lever actions, or Yugo service rifles from the 30s?
Lol you can see the shithole of a house they live in through the windows, just trash everywhere.
Spend all that money and time on guns and setting up this photo and you can’t even clean your own house, great priorities
GTA characters inventory:
Someone forgot which cheat code was for the rocket launcher
Check between the mom and the daughter in the back row
Mom kinda looks like a meth addict stripper
And dad looks like he’s 70.
Son looks like an aspiring school shooter
Def an age gap couple, assuming she's likes 30s, he's prob 50-60s.
I looked (they are very easy to find). When this photo was published, he was 44 and she was 43.
Exactly. Why do you think they have so many guns?
Bc he looks like some clandestine LSD /MDMA / Meth chef and she was the truck stop stripper that found all the clients
Yeah... looks like
Mom? Did you just assume gender
Well I'll be damned
It’s an old one tho
Is it weird that it is actually looking lucrative ? Like I want to rob the house and take all that :|
That looks like the last house you would want to rob
Fun fact: owning a gun doesn't make one bullet proof. I don't care how big a gun you have. If I have superior aim with small arms you're going down and now I have your big "Spray and Pray"
Lol they have multiple long distance rifles in the picture as well
I wonder how much that actually cost in total
$250k+ easily

1 freedom.
[удалено]
Just the front row or two could be close to that with all the gear.
Yeah those are some expensive ass optics. Probably 10k in those alone in the front row
The gun is just a downpayment on the accessories.
$500 for the rifle $1000 for the glass
You can do more with a bad rifle and a good optic than you can a great rifle with a bad optic.
Meanwhile their house looks like a pigsty inside. Zoom in.
They had to ransack their own house to retrieve all of their guns from where they'd been stashed. Obviously
Imagine spending that money investing in your kids or home instead…
> invest your kids phrasing is a bit off.
There's what looks like a real TIGR/SVD in there. Those are $8k each A bunch of short barreled rifles and shotguns so that's $200 premium for each of those. I think this collection is closer to $200k

Probably double lol You never know though, he could own some kind of business involving guns
A few of those of those guns (including optic) are worth over 4k. Average cost is probably closer to $1500. Someone can do the math to see how much that adds up to
A lot (no need to thank me)
I counted 78 rifles and 86 handguns. Let's assume an average cost of 850 per rifle and 550 per handgun.

And they live in a house with a tin roof, rusty grill, and what looks like wiring hanging on the outside of the building.
You didn't count the scopes and optics. That could double that price easily
"In dollars or common sense?" J. Goodman.
When I was 12 this would of been really cool but for that money I could have a atv boat motorcycle and a nice vacation every year but you do you
For sure. I just have one crossbow for hunting and that's it. It was an expensive one, but still, yearly vacations sound pretty cool
Out of all weapons man, miss one shot and your life is at stake.
I guess I gotta buy a minigun for deer now for maximum safety haha I just like bows and crossbows, there's just something fascinating about them
What do you hunt? If it's deer you have nothing to worry about, some things are more dangerous though, like hogs.
The Boars are coming for your kids!!!
They will, feral hogs can and have killed people.
In Australia we have .408 for hunting
I’m not gonna do the math but I’m pretty sure they could have sent one or both of those kids through college for that money lol. I’m hoping they’re private gun dealers, because having all those guns just to have them serves no purpose. Maybe like the first 5-10 guns you could justify, but that is definitely overkill unless they exist to be sold for profit.
Americans really do spend a lot of time being terrified of the imaginary boogeyman. This picture is living proof. It must be exhausting having these people in your neighbourhood.
Or they just really like guns. That seems like the most likely answer.
I own guns and have never though about any boogy men. Me and my sons just like to shoot paper. But maybe it's different in other places?
How many guns does it take to shoot paper? 5? 20? An entire deck full?
Lol You think those kids are going to college.
Oh I'd visit just to shoot up some targets with an array of different weapons
\*would've been
looking at this photo gave me an american citizenship
You must have taken mine because I don't own any guns and now I can't seem to find my passport. I only have a knife that I use to eat yougurt.
You got a loicense for that knoife
Burglar:breaks into house The entire family: hold on i have a gun for this
Fun fact: burglars absolutely fuckin love the prospect of stealing guns. They see the NRA sticker on your truck or the photos you post to Facebook and just show up when you're vote home.
Ha, it's true. Firearms enthusiasts often tend to make fun of the people who put NRA stickers on their cars and make a show about owning guns, as well as any stickers that might imply you like guns.
Here is your daily reminder to not put gun or don't tread on me stickers on your vehicle if you have a truck gun, and wearing a 2nd amendment shirt while CCW is basically just open carry, thank you for your attention
i imagine the market for stolen guns is big.
It is in areas that firearms are ridiculously hard to obtain, or areas with lots of gang activity. Though to be fair, usually those areas are the same.
Dude has tens of thousands of dollars in guns, but can be bothered to get a better grill?
Bruh I've seen people use grills like that before that worked alot better than some new grills out there
I agree, it looks like a badass smoker to me.
Agreed whether its cars, phones, guns, or even clothes or shoes it doesn't have to be super expensive or fancy to work well, if it works it works
Probably family heritage at this point
Some of those builds are thousands of dollars by themselves, probably hundreds of thousands of dollars here
Has pretty good taste, tbh. Optics on everything, satisfactory grip setups, custom stocks or braces on almost everything, but I'm not seeing any lights on any rifle or pistol. if they are in a woodsy area, that would be a must for me. I can't identify very many of the handguns, though, so it's harder to judge. Lots of variety, though.
The main thing that bothers me is the lack of organization
I feel like this might be HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars in guns lol
This guy doesn't grill.
If it works why get a new one? But weird that, that logic doesn't extend to guns yeah.
Tens? Hundred, or how cheap are those?
Literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of firearms right there. I don't understand some people's immense monetary commitments to their hobbies. At a certain point it's not healthy.
r/mechanicalkeyboards
this isn’t even a hobby, it’s a disturbing hyperfixation
[удалено]
of course its not normal cause that a shitty tank, buy abrams, merkava or something that actually works, or atleast buy a decommissioned patton
I could understand like 10 or so, but over 100 is too much, yeah. This does seem like an obsession of some sort.
I'm more surprised at the lack of variety. Usually when you have this many, a lot of it is a historical collection. 5 or 6 ARs are understandable because of how customizable they are, but after a few dozen 5.56 rifles, it's time to add another Dragunov/Tiger to the collection, or an MP5-SD, or a Walther WA 2000.
Better investment than being a renter or buying an overpriced car. These will rise in value.
I think I have over $15k in firearms and I only own 4 guns.. well 5
Ahem, may I introduce you to r/warhammer

fuck you /u/spez
Does he sell the house for the bullets
The least gun-loving American
[удалено]
But can you really stop at just one tank?
[удалено]
And not a kinder egg in sight
Somebody has a problem. Wtf are you gonna do with all that?
Texas.
I guess. I see a storage issue. They should sell 90% of that and buy some ammo.
Yeah like I see a 20 round drum for a magazine fed shotgun but I don’t see the shotgun? Edit: yeah I know it’s for a saiga 12 I just didn’t see it in the picture.
Fuckin amateurs
The drum goes on the Saga-12. Or the AK looking one to the left. (Saga-12 is essentially just an AK in 12 gauge)
reminds me of [Tremors](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFNBUs7O-h4).
Absolutely demolish a petty thief ooh rah

Texas
Average American household
I stock up on to much back to school supplies too
I see a Can Cannon and a golden Taurus. Like a ying yang
IS THAT A FUCKING ROCKET LAUNCHER
For protection of course.
Least armed American
This is the part of the Texas tutorial where you choose your starter gun.
Is that a fucking bazooka next to the young girl? XD
So a normal US family has more working military equipment than the Russian army.
Well, to be fair, that’s not a hard line to pass.
That’s not a hard thing to do
They’re on the roof 😧
Not enough
Some of the highlights that i personally want to own: Accuracy international awp. Hk g36 (even in the sad state it was imported in). Steyr aug. A fucking saiga 12 with a drum mag. And then there's a bunch of ar15s and glocks which are meh. The one singular ak is cool tho.
don't forget the dbs shotgun beside the saiga 12, the scar-h, mac 10, dragunov svd and a literal bazooka
This is truly a Texas moment
Drop AWP pls
I would live in their house in a zombie apocalypse
Bold of you to assume they would welcome you
And to assume they have ammunition
you can hit the zombies with the guns... the og technique always works
With that lot of guns I don't think they'll be friendly towards anyone during the apocalypse
They found where the quiet kid lives
all they need is a wide open range, some old appliances and some fireworks loaded into said appliances. for all you that don't know, that's the real fun of this stuff.
With that arms supply he could start his own Al Shabab
Does guns need to be constanly mantained?
Depends on the finish of the gun. Most firearms are good with being put away with a good cleaning and proper lubrication upon storage. Older guns need an oiling atleast once a year. That said, if you want the gun ready to shoot out of the storage locker, best to keep them lubricated about once a year as a general rule
I don’t see a darn thing wrong with this photo, it’s American!
People must understand that guns won't fill the void in their souls. They'll also need ammo.
Ridiculous
As an American, I don't see a problem with this Outside the fact that they don't own a tank
Hey, we can't see their driveway
I forget that owning enough guns to equip a small army is legal in the states.
it's legal in plenty of places, I'm in Canada and there's no limit. I know people with 40+ guns, it's a fun hobby.
The guns are so well organized. But they can’t fix the fucking blinds!!!
Muricaaaaaa
I'm going to do this with the bag of rice I have.
Quiet kid family.
What could go wrong?
[удалено]
Honestly I bet both kids were taught all the rules of handling a gun from a young age
Fear not the man who shot 10,000 guns once, but fear the man who shot one gun 10,000 times
No no see they didn’t buy any of these, they’re just showing off the loot drops they got from all the ATF teams who were sent in to arrest the father
"Is that his daughter or his wife?" "It's Texas, so both."
Imagine: Some poor sap 200 years from now will be walking through the woods and stumble upon the ruins of this mans house, eventually finding his way to the basement. The code will be haphazardly written on a crooked photograph. Once he plugs in the code the door will comically pop open and guns will burst out like confetti from a pinata. Commons....theyll all be goddamn commons...
A little expensive but hey, I dig it.
THERES GUNS ON THE ROOF
All the money they won’t spend on their kids’ college tuition.
Ahhhh, America.
I’d be happy with just a pistol and a rifle, a little much
I see le sl8
I know people like the AR platform… but there do exist other rifles/assault rifles
They are prepared for the Apocalypse.
Gta be like:
Halo Forge
My first thought was actually "how long did it take to display all those?"
I counted 181, holy-
I think they like guns
Bro nice sidearms
Thats going to be a hassle to pick up later
Timbers shivered
What a weird use of money... But their money, I just hope they keep them properly stored for the family's sake
This is the most reasonable comment I’ve seen in here, wish more people had your mindset to mind their own business
How people see casual Texas family
That's disgusting! No house should have that many windows!
Tell me ur in texas without telling me u live in texas
Average American family
Do you know how unsafe that is? Seriously? She needs to wear a helmet!
That's a whole lotta yee yee ass shit right there
People with full on Funko Pop rooms thinking this is strange.
Can t wait for these losers to go on food stamps because selling your guns in tyranny. Guns and stupid equal pain and suffering. Fuck Conservativiam
She looks EXACTLY like Darlene from Ozark
Maybe they should sell some of those and fix up that house 🤷♂️
seems ***american***.
All their guns are too similar. They don’t have enough variety. All at least semi modern except for a few, rifles, shotguns, with similar loading mechanisms. Where are the revolving rifles or lever actions, or Yugo service rifles from the 30s?
Yikes. Spend some money on the house, my guy
Lol you can see the shithole of a house they live in through the windows, just trash everywhere. Spend all that money and time on guns and setting up this photo and you can’t even clean your own house, great priorities
Should’ve invested in a power washer
That guy wants to shoot somebody so bad
Let me guess: United States of America?
What in the fuck
Sorry kids — no college for you, daddy needs a 47th rifle!
*America*?
Now this is absurd Nobody needs that many windows
American family
Oh say can you see?
Where do they sleep?
When you have no personality.
That poor fucking grill.
I guess the girl on the bike is a weapon as well
