From the California gun subreddit:
$2,500/yr in fees for some folks….
If you inherited dad’s/grandpa’s gun collection and followed the law to register them, I hope you’re a millionaire. Ouch…
You’d be a lot closer to a millionaire if dad/grandpa didn’t buy 100+ guns.
Or, oh, I dunno, sell the collection? I’m just a simple man who doesn’t own guns, though. I don’t have a big brain like the gun owners do.
My dad owns somewhere around 150 guns, I think, and I’ve had to think through what the hell I would do if he passed away. “Sell them” is the only reasonable answer. I’m not really interested in owning any other than maybe a few old family guns or something.
And even if you don’t want to sell them all immediately, assuming a collection that large is pretty well maintained you only need to sell maybe 2-5 each year to pay for the registration fee so it’s hardly a financial burden.
Quick piece of advice—when bringing the guns to the gun-store for sale don’t walk in holding a pistol unless it is empty and you are grabbing it by the barrel. Gun store employees can be twitchy.
Pretty sure my local constabulary would be happy to take 100+ guns off of my hands for a nominal fee.
haha, you think telling a gun person that they have to sell 2-5 a year in order to keep the rest is gonna cause them to shrug and say, “well it’s hardly a financial burden”?

In my day we just ripped chunks of skin off our lips doing whipped cream chargers. Kids today are hooking up masks to tanks and not using the buddy system.
I hate it when the twitter embed breaks.
Ok, after about 25 emails back and forth over a couple hours asking him how the whole Zelle refund thing works, that was feeling a little stale. I’m asking him now about his ISP which seems to be in Oklahoma and I just want to make sure he’s able to attend a game that is in NY tonight.
No, that was specific to the scenario where someone inherits a collection, re: the OP’s “I hope you’re a millionaire”
Send him $1, and then become increasingly angry as he continues to try to “cheat you” by claiming he didn’t receive the entire $100.
I gotta give this woman props. I like to think of myself as a relatively confident person, but I’m pretty sure that if my fiancée died in a laughing gas accident I just would never refer to them ever again.
Yeah, I thought about sending him some de minimus amount as part of this. What I’d really like to do is send him a similar fake “You have been paid $100 via Zelle” email like he’s sending me, but I don’t have time to concoct that today and create a dummy email account to send it from.
The balloon sellers were out in force when I went to my sober Phish show and it was like a war zone. Boy do people wigging out on nitrous look terrible. Glad I didn’t know that when I was doing it, but I probably wouldn’t have cared.
That’s the best part. I figure out the universe for those few seconds when I’m slumped over. It’s all about recursion man. But that’s all I can remember when I come out of it.
It’s one thing when you’re in your 20s. Guys our age slumped over on a sidewalk with a balloon in their hands…
It think you found your base case.
You should definitely watch your step if you plan on bouncing around the room at all
He might be trying to mess with me in return. I just got a 2FA Facebook password reset email. I don’t think he can do anything - he doesn’t have access to my email obviously - just wondering what his play is there. Timestamp of his emails are 5 hours ahead, but I assume that can be fabricated.
Nitrous is a remarkably good way to sedate people for painful procedures in the ER…
It’s rarely used because people tend to just use some too often
Whatever you do, take care of your shoes!
