Need? Of course not.........
Want? Yes.......

Damn near everyone of those firearms will not loose any value, most likely will be worth more as time moves on. Has a nice tidy investment there.
Exactly. I've never once sold one of my guns, going back well over 30 years. And I guarantee I could sell them today and be ahead - on some probably a lot ahead - so right there is a good reason to have one (or 20.) I priced a .357 S&W revolver I got back in the mid-80's. Paid $75 for it IIRC, used. Looked up the exact model on gunbroker earlier this year. One just like mine, in what looked to be not as good condition, went for over $700.

We have an 80's era Colt AR-15 that's stock, iron sights and all, and paid something like $250 for it back then. It's worth, idk, $1000 now? Maybe?
