[imp]

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.

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

[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.

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.

@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.

Guns are Good.

There are a lot of 'targets' out there .........

[Sleepwalker]

It doesn't really make a difference. Having more guns isn't gonna increase temptation to use them.

@TitoFan this one's for our friend

[greynotsoold]

He used to do this ' she reached into my pants...is that a roll of quarters....no it's my Love Gun' routine that was cool. He did it every time. I saw Kiss 4 times in three years, and the videos from every tour. People liked that bit.

[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).

[Dia bando]

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.
