The intrinsic characteristics of a gun are simply not there. Perhaps the Bic-Pins of the gun world, the newer entries may be very reliable and accurate, but not something I would ever purchase or pass down as a valued possession.
Guns were passed down as a cost savings measure. Just like spoons and pots and pans along with other household items. Today most people make enough money to afford a decent quality handgun.

If my future kids ever want my guns or any of my stuff...great! But I'm not buying specifically to pass down.

Guns are like those pots and pans and silverware. They are a tool that serves a purpose. Anything more and it's anthropomorphism.
