What if I was still married and had kids. Those 2 kids would be getting ready for college now. Plus, raising them ain't cheap even before considering the cost of higher education.
But, a lot of my guns just sorta wandered into the gunsafe. I didn't pay for them. Or pay much for them.
A bunch of others were guns I wanted. Just because they are neat. Not because I had a certain use for them.
Then there was guns I had a use for and were overcome by events or I learned that my uses were better fulfilled with another model. A Garand is a perfectly serviceable rifle and a joy to own. But if you then get a M1A, that Garand becomes a second tier goto.
So. If I had different financial straights I'd probably have to sell some. Especially utilitarian stuff that doesn't fill a role or doesn't fill it anymore.
If I needed money for the rice-n-beans to feed the fambly, and get braces on the dog's teeth, and get the worm medicine for the Missus, and pay for a new roof on the oldest child I could pare back. Ideally I'd have not gone up blind alleys, but sometimes you gotta pay for experience.
