But if I had just left them alone as he did, and bought and sold as he did, my money would be three or four times what it is now but the amount of fun that I would not have had would be a tenth.

So while I lament missed guns and missed opportunities I also don't forget the fun I raised, four kids put through Ivy League Colleges, the other guns bought to replace the guns sold. I spent 20 years longing for a side opening SuperBrite and when I found one and bought it I could not hit the side of a barn with it from the inside. It was so bad my shooting partner suggested that if I was to end my life with it I would have to reload at least one time and perhaps twice. I was thrilled to buy it and glad to sell it. Looking back if you had kept those two gems would that be enough for you or would you still buy and sell to keep yourself happy? The dog chases the car for the chase not because he knows what to do with it if he ever catches it. We are like that with guns. We like the chase.


A very wise comparison in description of the "chase"
