Well Miller, "Fancy" gun writers are a REAL minority. They don't make enough money to qualify as "Fancy". Of course having someone sell you a pretty nice new gun at an attractive price is a nice perk of the job, so they may end up toting a fancier gun than others at a similar income level. And while having a certain facility with the English language is a requirement of the job, that also fails to move one into "Fancy" territory. Take a look at what English majors earn after they graduate.
