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

Sick selfish laws.

Another one of these eh? How many is enough for you?

None.

Illegal in the uk.

How many do you own and why?

[greynotsoold]

As many as you want and can afford. How many pair's of shoes should you be allowed to own?
Myself..I would own at least a dozen rifles in different calibers built on the AR platform, another dozen bolt action rifles, five or six lever action rifles, at least 200 handguns, and a lot of ammo for each.
At one point I had 43 guns but I had to sell them.

What's the difference between owning 1 gun and 500? It's all a matter of whether the person is fit to own them in the first place, which the vast majority of gun owners are in fairness. I'd imagine if you could work out the statistics, the chance of someone with 1 gun using it to commit crimes or hurt people is overwhelmingly higher than people with hordes of them. I don't understand or respect the mentality of the latter myself, just saying.

It's not how many guns.

It is who is at the firing end, and who is at the end of the barrel.

If I gave you 20 Guns, would you want to live in the bad section of Chicago.

43 guns.!

This is the problem.

Why is there no cap on the amount of guns an american citizen can own?

I know it takes one gun or bullet to kill etc but at least put a limit on this from this point onwards..

[Fenster]

If I lived in the States i'd own a gun too. In fact I'd quite like to own a gun, it would make robbing bookies easier

[Bill Paxtom]

Look. Here in the United States we need guns. Especially 'Big Game' Rifles.

You see, we have a lot of 'Rosie O'Danimals' roaming around.

Some call it 'The Lou Costello Head'

What I own and why I own are my business, not yours and really not the government's business either.

43 guns.!

So grey is "the problem" or people like him are "the problem"? I'm more than willing to test this theory out....@greynotsoold how many people have you shot, killed, threatened, robbed with your firearms?

Yeah, good luck with that

I don't think you want to ask that question

As much as I detest guns I would agree with Fenster.

Americans love their guns and I would rather have one to protect my household knowing the man coming in will most likely have one.

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.

Also, there is a big market for collectable guns. They can be a good investment. Civil war era, revolutionary war error ww one and two. When you see someone with a large amount of guns there is a good chance he is a collector.
