Spend $30? Pfft. If you’re “protesting” in the right stores, you can pick them up for free.

Here is a much shorter version of this article.  Follow the law, protest peacefully, and you will have nothing to fear.  

It is absurd that we need Congress to make illegal something that should already be considered unconstitutional by the courts.

“I’m aware of the major negative consequences of my choices”

Except you can rarely resell your golf clubs or your ATVs or jet skis for as much if not more than you paid for them.  Guns hold value super well, so a lot of people have a bit of a ‘rotating collection’ where they resell some pieces to get others and build their collection to their tastes.

Guns can be an excellent investment, they rarely lose value and the value often increases.  Unlike most hobbies you can often sell off your supplies for at least as much as you paid so if you have the money and a secure way to store them it’s not a bad way to store cash value, and make some extra on the side.
