GUN COLLECTING

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.
By Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds would be called "mentally unstable."

Just imagine if he lived elsewhere:
In Michigan, he’d be called “The last white guy still living in Detroit.”
In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector."
In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector."
In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.”
In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend."
In Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy.”
In Alabama, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."
In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."
In North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and South Carolina he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."
And in Texas he's just "Bubba”, who's a little short on ammo."

in Washington DC he would be a dangerous criminal that serves as an example of all that is wrong with America...

...unless it is found out that he is an avid democrat. Once THAT was uncovered, news coverage of the mans gun collection would stop and legislation to provide government funded security cabinets for privately owned firearms would be brought before congress.

In South Africa

He would be thought a dangerous liberal pacifist, totally out of touch with what is needed to survive.

In Colorado, he'd be called someone who doesn't live along the front range.
