LOL, no, of course not. But this question of “need” always hits me strange. I’m basically at my limit. 40 is all I’m capable of gunsmithing, learning, fucking around, whatever. Hell, 6 or 8 are still in pieces while I figure them out.
And what exactly are you imagining here? 8 or 9 are shotguns, and of those, most are single shot. 4 or 5 are in pieces (working on it!), most of the remainder are .22LR or .22WMR.
you can defend yourself and /or engage in recreational hunting
That’s not what the majority are for. And it’s none of your business what they are for. But if you must know, I like buying cheapo guns and refurbishing them, seeing what I can do. Gunsmithing tests the limits of my mechanical ability.
And yes, for self-defense, 6 or 8 will so. “That’s nuts!!!”
Pump 12-gauge for home defense. Best choice, IMHO, but YMMV.
Colt Government Model 1911 .45, sits on my desk, or in the drawer.
Rock Island Armory .45, nightstand.
Ruger LCP Max .380 for conceal carry, which I usually don’t.
M&P Shield .380 for conceal carry, if I’m wearing bigger clothes.
9mm Ruger, again, if it fits my clothing.
North American Arms .22 magnum. Hilariously tiny, fits in any pocket. Better than nothing I guess?
If you think on it, it’s kinda weird having to defend my hobbies and purchases. “What do you need 40 Steam games for?! You can only play one at a time!”
Curbing gun ownership, particularly of assault weapons, is the only solution
Now we come to the meat: How do you intend to make this happen? The 2A is real and the courts have now, and historically, interpreted it to mean the right of induvial ownership. Those two items are facts, not open to argument. I’m am open to discuss, but all I see are useless, ignorant laws that don’t curb violence, and worse, cost political capital for electing Democrats.
(LOL, sorry for the rant, but you seem open to discussion. Maybe we can find common ground, get ideas that work.)
What do you think of encouraging the pump action for hon defense? It can be most effective, and you can even encourage less lethal rounds that will take down a home invader. And it seemed like the most difficult to commit mass-murder.
Similarly, bolt action if you’re a hunter. Seems like the best tool for the job, and is more difficult to commit mass murder.
I’m personally, I don’t see how conceal carry should ever be a thing, so we’ll have to be on different sides of that. It’s just asking for innocent victims
