This is a link in there to the auction catalog.  The guns come up after 3 or 4 pages.  More of them than I thought I would see.

I am bit curious if his friends thought he liked guns or if that sort of gift was more common in those social circles back then.

MSNBC, I think it was, was running news of the auction with headlines about Jerry Lewis' "massive arsenal."

An "OK collection", heavy on shotguns and snubbies.

Apparently he was a pretty big performer of gun spinning tricks.
