That's right. I feel that if earthly possessions are important to you and make you happy, you will have them in Paradise -- in other words, the biggest gun collection imaginable will be "reconstructed" virtually for your enjoyment. But this will be on a completely different level than the objects we have here.
The story is told about some ancient Greeks who traveled to India and encountered a tribe which disposed of its dead by eating them. The Greeks were outraged by this cannibalism, until the Indians pointed out that the Greeks' custom of burning their dead was similar to what they did (cooking them), except that the Greeks wasted the remains. At least these Indians put the dead remains to good use.
Orthodox Jews do not embalm, bury the dead within 24 hours, and use wooden caskets with no metal fittings. The idea is that everything will decompose naturally. (A gun in the casket would obviously go against this ethos.)
The key is to stash pistols in your canopic jars along with your internal organs. But you might want to use gun socks and desiccate packs. Could get moist in the jars. Or maybe Cosmoline.
There's nothing wrong about wanting to do that, if you feel it's that important. It's just some of us have different ideas about it. One of the few positives I could see from it is, a few centuries or millenia down the line, it may make for something interesting for future generations, since eventually there's a good chance you will get dug up someday.
I actually have an M60, and it's not all that it's cracked up to be (at least in the popular imagination). It was a candidate to be sold, but the damn thing keeps going up in value so fast, that I need to keep it for that reason alone. As a practical shooter, the M1919A4 Browning is better.
This.
