Yes. That is it. It's hunting season, and every hunter in America has decided to get a new rifle, handgun and shotgun for THIS particular hunting season. The insight of youth can be amazing sometimes.

Wow...Just wow...

Ranger Oto-Man,

I've known a bunch of people who buy a new rifle every year, and keep the old ones as trophies by themselves. I'm not implying EVERYONE bought a new gun, maybe a bunch? Plus the amount of spent casings you can find at our local range up here is astonishing.

Where does one find a good wife like this? Can you order them off the internet?
