Owning guns would just be a soothing balm to those without power. Gun collectors could imagine themselves as Rambo, but they would know they couldn’t use any of this firepower in life-or-death situations. They can only use these guns to shoot up [stuff] in their backyard. Guns would effectively be rendered as toys.
