How many guns do you need?

[DoggyDaddy]

What you said but in every caliber, and very action and you forgot long range requirements in every caliber and every action, and every historical weapon in every caliber and every action. Carry on. I'm sure there are more...

I'd say this sounds like a reasonable place to start.

 

[MichaelZWilliamson]

I mean think about it: Different brands, different models, different calibers, different barrel lengths, different finishes, different serial numbers...

Surveys haven't been returned yet. I'll let you know. About early Nov.

"Need" is often a Red Herring Concept

Friends,

"Need" can be highly subjective. Well, I "Need" oxygen to live—but someone might argue that I have no existential "Need" to go on living...

Do I "Need" a collection of firearms that is over a gross (144)?

Well, I may assert that I "Need" over 144 Firearms, while someone else vigorously argues that I don't.

This will quickly devolve into an "Is, Isn't; Is. Isn't; Is, Isn't" type childish spat.

What if I say that I "Want" 144 Guns? Well, if I want it; I want it. There is no room to argue there

The essence of a free "society"—and yes, "society" is largely a stroke-job fobbed on the unthinking—is that so long as I am not directly impinging on your life or property. then I can do as I damned well please. If I want to stack surplus Mauser Bolt Actions like cordwood—well, so be it...

{Not that I crave Beaucoup old Mausers….Wouldn't turn one down id it was free…}

One
If you don't have one you need one. I want more, but I need one.

Well, that's not a bad start.

SWMBO said "How many guns do you need?" I said "Just one more"

I bought one last week and that should keep me entertained for a while. No, who am I kidding. I'm already thinking about the next one.

I would argue that having some kind of happiness in life is a need. Guns make me happy, ergo, I need them all.

3 more. I just need 3 more. Honest.

 

[KJQ6945]

3 more. I just need 3 more. Honest.

But you need a Winchester, and there are so many of them.

 

[tv1217]

3 more. I just need 3 more. Honest.

I think you mean 33

333 it is

 

[DoggyDaddy]

That's only half evil...

 

[Mongo59]

Don't stop collecting until the fullness of number come in...

But you need a Winchester, and there are so many of them.

Just so. I also need quite a few more in order to be able to shoot any caliber ammo I happen to acquire - and then, of course spares and optics

How many screwdrivers and/or socket wrenches do you need? Firearms are highly specialized tools, depends what you want to accomplish. If you want to be able to accomplish the range of things such tools are capable of, you need a certain minimum number. Granted some are more versatile than others, ex. a medium flat-bladed screwdriver can do a lot, but isn't very useful fixing eyeglasses. Same thing with firearms.
