Answer her question with a question..."Do you have enough shoes, how 'bout purses?"
The problem with that is, the most expensive purse my wife has, cost $250.00.
I have learned whenever that question comes up......................I get a new wife.
What resale value does that $250 purse have? Depreciation? My wife and I have had this conversation and I've always been able to trump any arguement she brought up with, "If we needed $500 in a pinch could you take your shoes or a purse to a pawn shop and get the money?" Guns have value that doesn't go away and she can't argue with that. I wish my 401K would allow me to take 5% of my income and invest it in guns, pretax with a matching 5% from my employer, my portfolio would be a lot more attractive than it is.
That is funny Bill, I did too - twice
But now you only have one of each.

AR10ER: ?I'm confused. Guns are forever.why do you think they invented divorce?
Discard wife, buy more guns.
I wish I could say I was jealous. Impressive yes. I am a practicality person. I would have spent that much money on very few rifles and maybe a couple of pistols. The rest would have gone to ammo, a remote plot of cheap land to build my bug-out bunker, back up gun parts, food, and a bug out vehicle. Even after all of that I probably would still have a lot of money left over compared to what that guy paid for that collection.
