Bill, Collecting and hunting are very different matters and can be
covered in legislation.
It's pistol ownership for whatever reason that needs to be
addressed....and yes, I do have stuff I don't need, but that stuff
does not include a lethal weapon .

Pistols can't be collected or used for target pratice? Really? Why
is a pistol any different than a rifle or a shotgun? in fact rifles
and shotguns are far more powerful than any pistol. I like shooting
pistols at the range. I do have one for selfe defense should the need
ever arise. I mostly like the pistol because it is a reproduction of
a great handgun used for over 90 years by the military and I think it
is a really well designed thing that I can use for personal enjoyment
and should I need to, to protect myself and my family. Why is that
wrong? I own a car and have come much closer to harming people with
that than I have ever come with my gun. Again more people die in cars
than with a gun every year but nobody advocates eliminating those. You
can generate a lot more power with a vehicle than you can with a
bullet.
