Put it this way, I think it's the person that makes the gun what it is, not the gun.

Same here, the volume has decreased considerably. Actually, I haven't bought a firearm in almost two years. The last one was a Webly Mk I revolver with a bird's head grip. Before that it was two Heritage Rough Riders, not exactly "quality" but fun plinkers.
Growing up all I was interested in was rifles. Mostly lever and bolt actions. Thought Mini14s were cool, tho.
Tried a few pistols, but didn't care for it.
Bought my first pistol in 2008... I always thought if I were to buy a pistol, it'd be a Beretta 92 since I liked the way they looked and that's what the military used. Somehow my first pistol was a Sig, and I was bit... Shortly after that I had bought nearly ever variant of W. German Sig available. I finally did get a Beretta 92, but it sucked compared to the Sigs
I was a hammer fired pistol elitist for awhile until I tried out an M&P. Now there's several nice striker fired pistols on the market, and I'm no longer a hammer elitist. Still hate Glocks, tho.
I hated the M16 they gave me to qualify with in basic, so I assumed I hated AR15s, too. Holy shit was I wrong
Now I don't see the point (other than fun/collectability) in owning any rifle that isn't an AR.
For the past few years all I've shot is pistols.

Never thought about taking my guns out boating much in the past. Now I can't resist. Taking my new M+M M10X out tonight, sure hope I don't have another accident.
Yes! I posted pics of it in the "What gun did you buy today" thread. It's a beautiful rifle, can't wait till Friday when I take it to the range.
(Oh, and thanks for your input!)
Instead of needlessly taking your guns out on a boat......how about you just enjoy them for a few weeks and legally pass them on to another Texas resident? No BOS......just check valid ID or LTC......that's how I got rid of all of mine.
Probably better that they rust at the bottom of a lake than to possibly get into the hands of criminals.

That reminds me of the time I went into space, lost all my guns during a space walk.
For awhile my only centerfire rifles were an M1 carbine and a tapco'd sks.
I used to think that ARs sucked, and my dear tapco'd sks was the best rifle ever
As it turns out, tapco isn't exactly the leader in firearms engineering, and that Eugene Stoner dude was pretty damn clever
As far as what i own, and will own. I just find things that catch my fancy. Last gun i bought was a ruger GP100 and the next "firearm" will be a LaRue ultimate upper.

My firearm preferences change every other week. It makes saving up for new guns interesting. What I want one week might be different the next. I guess that's my ADHD coming out.
There is no particular type of gun that I dislike enough to not buy, except maybe SNSs.

Saturday night special. Not just a cheap gun, but a cheap gun that rarely works and might blow up on you.
I like SxSs
