I have sold four guns in the past several weeks. I have lost a lot of interest in stockpiling them, more accessories and ammo are my interests.

At the moment I have more than I can shoot so, yeah, content.

 

[65-2x2]

I haven't needed or strongly lusted after a firearm in a long, long time. So yes, I am content with my collection, (that doesn't mean that I am past adding to it) the hobby is still fun to me. More importantly, by far, is I am content with most every other aspect of my life. If I go belly-up, tomorrow, I couldn't complain about anything; I have had a damn good run. I wonder how many billionaires feel that way?

I am not big into poetry, (at all) but there is the part of one poem that kind of sums up my feelings on general contentment.

From Thanatosis, by William Cullen Bryant:

So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

I would like a nice double rifle and a 1928 Thompson.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

I have about every want covered... any future additions are for giggles not function.

Exactly the same here...........I like "add-ons" now such as suppressors-night vision both digital and Thermal .............I'll add one or 3 still out there I still want iffen I run across them.

Then why go?............I usually spend LESS when I have wad of $$$$ in my pocket......CUZ I have most of what want therefore I am "picky".

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

I have whittled the contents of my safe down to ten firearms. Very soon it will be two.

That's sad Rusty............MEBBE when ya get better ya can fill it up again.

Nothing sad about it at all as they are going to family members who will appreciate them.

All Ruthie and I want to keep are our little pea shooters.

[THE PILGRIM]

Yes I am Content!
Although in the past for me Content has been a transitory condition.
Only time will tell!

 

[John in Yuma]

Gun collecting is like "Whack-a-Mole".
You are content, fat, dumb and happy.
Then some clown puts a quarter in the machine and new desires start sticking their heads out of those holes faster than you can smash 'em.
How long does this game go on?
