I bought a few. I want every country in the world to know there really is an American sharpshooter behind every tree and rock! Come and get it.

I screwed up, I thought they wanted us to buy booze and hookers. It's what a politician would do. Isn't it?

Seems like a big number until you consider there are over 200 million adults in the US and many of them did a dozen or more transfers last year.

The OP is proof that the majority of Americans want more gun control….. it also proves black is white, up is down, and evil is more fun because good is dumb.

Well I feel like I have been really not pulling my weight. Not having bought any last year. I will have to work hard this year to try to do my fair share.

I have a feeling that you didn't arbitrarily choose 17.

No sir it was a news article but 17 is a rather odd number isn't it ?

Meaning of the Number 17 in the Bible

How does the number 17 represent complete and total VICTORY? How is seventeen related to the ENEMIES of Israel?

Here is the real article

Meet America's gun super-owners – with an average of 17 firearms each

Some are collectors with elaborately curated selections of historical firearms, while others are ‘just accumulators’. They say it is surprisingly easy to get to 17

17 sounds like a good start. I think it takes at least ten firearms and 100 rounds of ammo to qualify as a poster child for the evening news.

Does that mean you have 10 guns and two boxes of ammo?

Three or more - makes for a better photo. Ammo is irrelevant - the news can just make up numbers, or they can just say it is an arsenal and leave the rest to your imagination.
