Not only NO, but HELL NO!
"CRIME CONTROL, NOT GUN CONTROL!"
"REGISTER CRIMINALS, NOT FIREARMS!"
What part of "Shall NOT be INFRINGED" don't these bleeding-heart libertards NOT UNDERSTAND? ANY law-abiding Citizen should be able to go armed as he damn-well PLEASES, even if he or she wants to walk around with a machine gun slung over their shoulder. . . . .
That's what I'm SURE our founding forefathers intended, no matter WHAT the bleeding-heart liberal Demacrack socio-crats in D.C. are trying to perpetrate. . . . . . . .
The Second Amendment was meant to assure ALL Americans the way to defend and guarantee the continuance of ALL our other freedoms. . . . . . .
And this is what Pelosi, Clinton, Schumer, & Co. are SCARED SHITELESS OF! ! ! !
"An Armed Man is a CITIZEN, an Unarmed Man is a SLAVE!"

No. That's like the government trying to limit the number of cars you can own. Let me tell you something. If the government was to ban gun ownership tomorrow, there would be a second revolutionary war. Guns and cars by the token I just mentioned are both controlled instruments. A car and a gun will only do what the person controlling them does. Accidents and misuse are 99.9% human error.

Let me ask you a question. Do you think the Government should have the power to tell you how many kids to have?
or
Do you think the Government should have the power to tell you have many pet, cars, flowers, square nose shovels, bicycles, TV's to have? I do not there are bigger issues facing the federal government that how many guns are locked securely in my gun safe.
Where would it stop with cars bikes, chairs around your dinning room table because you have to cut down trees to make the chairs. Where does it stop with the government telling us how to live our life?
What part of FREE do you not understand. We are a free country meaning we are free to live our life the way we want. We have laws if you chose to not live by the laws then you go to jail. The 2nd amendment was placed into the Constitution as a ultimate check in a check and balance system.
I do not think the government needs to be telling anyone how much of anything they should be allowed to own.

No, No limit I say. I don't care how many guns you have. I know what I need for guns and it's many different guns, for the things I do. How about this. Should the Government control how many houses you own or how many cars?

No, they should follow the letter of the constitution. Currently the ATFE has a tight rein on who owns class 3 weapons, and I agree with them, that a person should undergo extensive background investigation, and be licensed for each class 3 weapon he or she owns. But I do not believe they should control how many guns a person should own in his/her collection. Then again, If I trusted the government more, I would not be adverse to them requiring a person to go thru a one time background check to be issued a license to own as many firearms as they wanted, if there was a guarantee that the government would never use it as a form of gun control or to confiscate firearms.

No. If they're going to, it should be a limit based on time, and loose enough that it's safe to go to a gun show. Say, something like 10 every six months or something. This law would also prohibit military collectors from buying firearms, and I doubt that they'd throw in a C&R exempt clause. Because, you and I both know that the guy who collects blackpowder cartridge trapdoor rifles up the road is going to go crazy. How far would this extend? Would security companies be able to buy more than a few guns, or would they just have to leave the majority of their guards unarmed. What about the CMP? Would they be able to purchase a truckload of surplus M1 Garands to refurbish and sell?
For the most part, other than background checks, every gun law that's been passed has been a load of nonsense. If only they could get the background check system to work, to keep firearms out of the hands of young adults who are mentally unfit or unable to realize the responsibility that's required to own a firearm, then maybe all the anti-gun people would run out of reasons to ban guns.

No, I do not.
That would defeat the entire purpose of collecting.
Besides, What's the point?
A single individual can operate no more that one gun effectively at a time, and yet can reload that gun over and over.
What makes having ten guns more dangerous than having one gun and extra ammo?
Nothing.
It's another dopey argument.

No. That's silly and pointless. It isn't like people are bringing 20 or even 10 guns with them when they go to do a crime.
And the people who do commit crimes don't care about the laws anyway.

No.......Gun ownership is an individual choice, and those whom choose to own guns may, and those whom do not like guns do not have to own guns.....Some of us have many guns...Some of mine are antiques, some are modern, and some are "works of art".....I find a finely engraved 28 gauge O/U, with coin finish receiver, and gold enlays, as pleasing to the eye as any painting I have ever seen in a museum.....If I so choose to "collect" a large number of guns for my own satisfaction, then that is my right. And it is your right.....And if you so choose NOT own a gun.....That is your right.....The Second Amendment grants the people the right to keep and bear arms without "infringement"........."Infringement" means to intrude upon, or transgress......Which means not open for interpretation.....

I don't think the goverment should be able to limit how many guns you own, but I do wish they would limit how many children people could have.
