Default Gun Collection Software?

Pappy,

Thanks for revealing the "Pennys to Dollars" Bill Gates Money Making Method.

Before my Govt coerced me with threat of fine and jail time, even though I am a law-abiding citizen and did nothing wrong... Oops, I mean asked me kindly to hand in Some of my guns and register the rest of them on a National gun database... I didn't have enough guns to warrant keeping track of them with software. So I don't understand....

What does Gun Collection Software actually do?

Default Gun collecting software......

Well....... I'll give you an example. My neighbor growing up had a MASSIVE collection of guns, knives, weapons, etc. He was an FBI agent. He had them all in lighted wall display cases throughout his house. I believe the collection at the time of his death was valued over $1 million (circa 1960).

I didn't know him because I was born in 1961. But I got to know his wife throughout the years. I delivered the newspaper to their house and she would invite me in to look at his "little" collection.

He had umbrellas that were guns, knives that were guns, guns that were knives, brass knuckles, illegal weapons (automatic), tons of rifles, pistols, ammo etc....

BUT the unique thing about this man is that he killed the most wanted criminal in American history at the time: John Dillinger. He also tracked and captured the big boys of the time too, Baby Face nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd.

So you can imagine all of the stuff he had taken from these guys displayed at his house. His house was like a criminal weapons museum. If he was alive today he could have used some software.

But I digress.... There are many people who have collections like that one. And ones that are smaller. I have a friend who's collection is valued around 500k. Software is useful for insurance purposes, keeping track of your collection (where is the gun), seeing what your collections worth, or just the pleasure of looking at your collection thru the eyes of the software. That's why people buy "gun collection software".

BTW my neighbors name was Melvin Purvis. When he shot and killed himself they say it was suicide. But later I think they determined that it was actually a lodged bullet that went off. Now you know the rest of the story......

later...

Default Re: Gun collecting software......

Pappy,

Thanks for explaining some more.

I guess that's the difference between Australia and the US...

We NOW need a Permit To Buy for each firearm we want to buy, which is issued by the police. And I guess if They deem you have enough weapons you won't be issued any more permits. Heck, we even need a permit for an Antique firearm which has been Disabled - just because it's a firearm nessitates the need for a permit (air rifles are included, as are BB guns!). And Plastic Replicas are Banned from sale. Grrrr.

I can certainly Understand, with a firearm's accessibility, that people Would have a Collection - guns and knives and other weapons. (BTW, Stun Guns are also illegal in this country - although - they are NOW being issued to police.)
