I'll have everyone know that I can, in fact, resist temptation. Yesterday I resisted the temptation to buy a firearm I've wanted since I was a kid.
I only bought five firearms this year. That's up from two in each of the previous years, but down from my pre-pandemic average of one a month.
This year I bought more reloading equipment instead. And holsters.
But I've decided that 2023 will be the year of the Desert Eagle .50AE. They're big, loud, heavy, expensive to buy, expensive to shoot, tactically useless, and look like something a pimp would favor. But they are unique, powerful, and really piss the gun-control crowd off.
