If it's true love she will moan a bit then accept it and move on.
If she really tries to give you the "me or the guns" ultimatum then you will probably be saving yourself years of misery.
It starts with guns then moves onto other things. You're a grown ass man, don't let them dictate what sort of legal fun you can have.
This strikes a bit of a nerve for me. I've got ex partners that tried this sort of business. If you are paying with your own money and your other bills are sorted the. No one has the right to tell you what you can and can't do.
It's a partnership, not a dictatorship. Grow a pair young man , and hold your head high. Brrrr, I'm getting flashbacks now of angry women lol.

Then it was the farting in bed, I explained that I was farting in bed before she was born and I'll continue to fart in bed long after she's gone. Lastly was the guns and I explained to her that I was shooting long before I met her and will continue to shoot. The moral, if you give in on anything they'll lose all respect for you as a man and you'll soon be their bitch.
That said, maybe try and get her involved and show her the sporting uses of firearms. The biggest growth at the moment in license applications is women.
Good luck

Darl, you know how I feel about the weapons...
Theyre Not WEAPONS... my online friends told me their FIREARMS... cause weapons are either intended to be used or indeed used to injure another person in either a defensive or offensive manner...
OK.... Firearms...I would NEVER want to you to BURY them....
OH.............its not for the guns....

Fire held by the arms? Are you serious? "Arms" means weapons

I really want to get out of this because it's obviously touchy and I don't want to be a pain. Would appreciate nobody taking a serious go at me, I am a guest here trying to be on good behavior and don't want to be baited (not about you, Genesis). I want to help if I can but I don't want to upset my hosts.

Or, with the proper ammo, set them on fire and/or blow them up. They don't build a house, play a round of golf, get you a drink, or transport you from point A to point B. They only destroy and kill. And all of them were designed with that in mind, again with the exception of competition and training guns, which were designed to train and demonstrate expertise in destroying and killing.

Putting holes in things is not automatically "destruction", lots of other tools do the same for purposes of construction. We shoot animals to harvest them, not to destroy them - there is a difference.
They certainly do not _only_ kill and destroy.
Very, very, very few firearms held by non-military people ever get used to kill or destroy people, and a very, very large number never kill or injure any living thing. If that were their "only purpose" I can only say that there has never been any invention less fit for purpose than a firearm, with the obvious exception of politicians.
Warfare is the driving force behind almost all human evolution, a lot of the technological evolution aimed at designing more effective ways to kill people and destroy things - weapons. But when that technology is further evolved in time of peace it is no longer a weapon, the same with firearms. The first firearms were invented as weapons, and that was their only purpose. During peace time they became tools for training the skills of military people, although actually using those "training" firearms as weapons against actual people or materiel was very unlikely. When these training firearms evolved into more efficient training tools using very un-military cartridges, like .22LR, and even paintball and airsoft, their "only purpose" was certainly not to kill or destroy anything at all, ever.
Target shooting and hunting may well be handy training if you ever need to use firearms as weapons, but warfare or defence is certainly not the intent of pursuing those activities - it is merely recreational.
