How many guns are enough?

[Master]

The more guns there are the more chance they could fall into the wrong hands.

[Beanflicker]

Dude collects guns, I don't see the big deal.

If you're fit to have 1, you're fit to have 100 IMO.

Doesn't make you any more dangerous. You can only fire one at a time anyway (or two, Hard Boiled style).

At one time I had 7 guns, 5 air rifles and 2 shot guns, that's the most I ever own at one
one time never shot anybody,! I don't suffer from mental illness.

I do believe we do need a new set of 'General Rules' here in the United States.

The NRA should lead the charge, otherwise somebody is going to 'Tax' the hell out
of ammunition.

She had always conducted herself responsibly and legally. Who has ever had a child and thought "my baby is a lunatic that will someday murder me and go on a killing rampage"? And, if we agree that children should not pay for the sins of their parents, how do you justify restricting the rights of a parent based on what their child may or may not do at some future time?

I feel like it's a huge self fulfilling thing, that doesn't reflect the mentality of the owner at all. I've never held a gun in my life, and I'm from a city where nobody ones own aside from the odd legal owner who goes out to the firing range. If I for some reason moved to a certain neighborhood in America, and heard about some violent robbery happening within any reasonable distance of me, I'd want to go out and buy a sawed off shotgun ASAP. Anyone who wants to tell me that makes me less responsible to own a gun would get shot in the face for no reason. FACT.

Aaaaah so it CAN be done, and by a Welshman too

Why ever would THAT make you want to own guns (please explain for the Brits)?

What exactly are you so scared off?

If its such an issue to live in that area why don't you just move.

This story was in the news last month about this old fella that died but had two tonnes of ammunition in his home and over a thousand guns.

Can someone confirm if there is limit on the amount of guns you can own in the USA?

Sick selfish laws.

Unfortunately there is no limit. It's wide open, so you can claim that you need four machine guns, five shotguns, half a dozen handguns, and two or three high-powered rifles to protect your home and your family. That being said, you can always try your luck and claim you need a rocket launcher and half a dozen hand grenades as well.

@TitoFan. Why should it matter to anybody else how many guns I own? It is not your business. If I use a gun to commit a crime, what crime could I possibly commit that is not already going to catch me an extra 20 years?
The simple fact of owning a lot of guns....if you and I went shooting with 15, 20 different guns, you would be a convert.

Who knows, grey.... I might.

Still, I think my objection is pretty much summed up below.

The more guns there are the more chance they could fall into the wrong hands.

Look at the Adam Lanza shooting spree. The guy pretty helped himself to an assortment of all sorts of guns owned by his mother, much like Arnold shopping for guns in that armory in that very old movie, "Commando". The woman, had she lived, should have been brought up on charges of major stupidity on at least two counts.

Having that many guns easily accessible in her home.
And two..... with a mentally unstable son like that, she should've never been allowed to have any guns in her house in the first place.

It was all too easy.

If you did suffer from mental illness the fact that you can use those 7 guns is much more of a potential to damage and kill compared to not having one.

Lets just imagine for a second if guns were illegal in the usa...you guys worship the guns.
