There’s all kinds of arguments to be made about whether Collector Personality is the socio-evolutionary result of our descent from only the most successful hunter-gatherers, or a form of OCD shading into anxiety disorder, or where the line between those states is drawn. But honestly — I *am* a Collector, and couldn’t these people just (re)focus on some less deadly toys?
(I suppose you could smash a collector plate and use it as a weapon, or smother someone in a pile of fabric quarters, but… )
I think the maddest I ever made gun people was when I pointed out an assault rifle and a Prada bag have the same price range.
