How do you guys stop buying guns?

I dunno. At this point I pretty much have everything I want.
There are a couple more on my list, but my list has stayed pretty much the same over the past several years.
I like the shooting more than the buying, and I have all the guns I need for the kind of shooting I currently do.

If I ever win a moose permit I'll need a bigger rifle, and I'd like to have a .45auto (to suppress) and a .44mag SA at some point, but for my day to day shooting I'm all set.

My old man's had the same 4 guns for as long as I've been alive, and he doesn't seem to be bored with them.

I have a lot of other - some of them more important to me - interests though.
Since there aren't any major gaps I'm my ability to do the kind of shooting I want, I don't really think about new guns all that much.
 
I can't believe this thread is still going. It's a good thread, for sure.

Many many years ago, I had a friend who started dating a really cool girl who was super hot, but she was anti-gun. She made him get rid of all his guns after they moved in together. That's one way to stop buying guns.

Guess who was the beneficiary of all his guns for 20 cents on the dollar?

Although, I then had to turn around and sell the guns for 30 cents on the dollar (no gunbroker back then), when I moved to New Jersey for graduate school. That's another way to stop buying guns: move to New Jersey (which, now that I have experienced the state and am gone from it, I can freely and accurately say that New Jersey is the armpit of the United States of America).
 
Any woman that makes you give heave ho to what you love as a pre-condition to her accepting you--will eventually give you the heave ho too. : )

OP Here:
That is so funny. I am getting ready to marry the woman that I posted about almost 3 years ago right around June 20th that our first date was going to be to the range and I thought she was the one because of that! She likes them as much as I do, but is way more thrifty. We are going to keep our finances mostly separate, but I have the feeling she will be a good influence even so.

As for my progress, I have got to the point where I am not buying anything new without selling something to pay for it. That is as good as I can do! :)
