8. So, I read number 3 as 'fuck poor people'.

Which is odd, because not being poor, and not living in a area with a lot of crime, my massive gun collection is of far less utility to me as a self defense option, that it was when I was living off minimum wage in a part of the city commensurate with my income.

Firearms aren't just for the rich. Your 'Saturday night special' line is a throwaway classist smear. And that's not even what it means, you should try subjects you know something about. Saturday night specials are historically a reference to cheap, $100 or less pistols. Not fucking rifles. A cheap ak clone still runs about 200-300 bucks.
