Guns ARE normal. They always have been.

40% of households in the US have at least one gun in them (and those are only the households that freely [i]admitted[/i] to having a gun). There are more AR15’s in America than there are minivans - ALL minivans, regardless of manufacturer. Remember that the next time you see a minivan. Many high schools have rifle or trap/skeet teams. There are likely 400,000,000 guns in America at this point. More than 1 per person.

So yeah, guns are pretty ubiquitous. No one needs to normalize them. They’re already normal. [/quote]
Having a gun for protecting your house is normal in the US, yes. Having a six-figure arsenal and putting it on your Christmas card is not. There was a libertarian columnist at Reason magazine of all places who tweeted that he’s a proud gun owner but that stuff like this is gross; he was attacked and deleted the tweet.[/quote]
I’m not sure why the Dollar amount of their gun collection bothers you. I doubt that people who can afford six figures worth of guns commit a meaningful percentage of gun crimes. I’d be more concerned about people for buy a $50 gun in an alley somewhere.

My friend is into shooting sports and has a couple of $10,000 Italian shotguns. [/quote]
