guns per year?

Thought I'd ask something random... How many funs do you buy per year, on average? 'Not enough' is not an answer and 'too many' doesn't exist. seriously though, interested in averages :)

On average I buy 0.4 firearms per year.
That's about this much.

Can't really give you an average as I only got back into it in 2014, but I wouldn't go more than a couple months without buying a rifle. I have twelve so far so I guess six per year for the moment.

It varies,Usually 2 or 3!!!
If I come across something I like,It'll end up in the safe.
I rarely go looking any more,That would surely lead to divorce!!!!

I've already got a few guns and from time to time get the urge to sell one and then replace it with something else. When I sold my 17hmr I replaced it with another 222, so on, so forth. It's a recycling process :D

On average I'd replace one gun per year.

My shopping list FAR exceeds my income list!
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

The opposite actually, I never have any money - it's all tied up in the gun safes!

I haven't bought one for ages. Probably get a crossman 1077 to keep them amused for the school holidays.
