A high percentage of people are just dumber than ratshit and incapable of completing basic maintenance on anything more complicated than a screwdriver. They will leave it out in the rain and spend 45 minutes writing an internet rant because it rusted, when it wouldn't have taken 45 seconds to oil it- or put it back in the toolbox.
I like the way you think. A toolbox is not complete without a 1911 in it.
... or a different gun of your choice.
