Clapper's comments are very rational - one should distinguish between "toys" and "investments" and investments should have the sole or principal function of providing income or generating wealth. Toys should be principally for fun. If they spin off money that's very nice but income from your toys is a bonus not the real reason to own the toys.
In addition to guns a lot of my toys are art and antiques; they total more than 5% of my net worth but I don't worry about them nor do I care what they might sell for. I don't buy and sell guns or antiques as a business or a hobby and I really do not care what any of this stuff fetches after I'm dead. I suppose they could be considered stores of value but that is a very secondary function.
Now if only I could hit something with my DR!
