Oh, I am concerned about the future, but gun collections should be mostly enjoyed. There will always be some 'preserved' in museums, armory collections, safes, etc. But the preservation of individual's items that concern me more are the aircraft of the wars. They still fly the old B-17s and others, and every so often we loose one and those are REALLY irreplaceable. But I can't really fault those who own them and want to fly them. Because they see history and the future as remembering the sacrifices of the past in real time, which made that - this future possible. I guess that is also true for antique firearms shooters. Sometimes bringing a Luger to the range opens up conversations with others, including the future and the next generation of 'collectors.'
