OK...you convinced me.
This is a fact people better wake up to. We have already LOST the second amendment battle with tyranny. We lost when the NFA was enacted and limited the people to weapons technology that will one day be obsolete.
Every gun owner or defender of the second amendment should be focused on repeal of the NFA and all laws the put limits on small arms of any type. And before you even ask, Yes, an M2 heavy machine gun is small arms, as are M203 grenade launchers and most importantly phased plasma rifles in a 40 watt range.
Wake up: the battle is over and we have lost. The government will soon have those phase plasma rifles and WE will not.
All forms of leftists and statists like to talk about "needs". They like to be empowered to determine other people's needs so they can distribute goods and resources accordingly.
On the other hand, conservatives and constitutionalists like to talk about "rights" and "liberty". There is a reason the first ten amendments to the Constitution are called the Bill of Rights and not the Bill of Needs. Rights are something we inherently own; not something the government can grant or withhold based on what it thinks we need.
Talk about a man cave!
A better analogy is asking what the upper limit on ownership of Beanie Babies is. Or Cabbage Patch Kids, Legos or Star Wars action figures. Or Pet Rocks (which can be used as weapons).
However, to repeat what was said above the title of the article is wrong. The author is talking about the point of market saturation, and doing so from a pro-gun ownership perspective.
Don’t forget the accessories.
We do like to accessorize our “collection”.
Just one more?
Limits are rubbish as are all firearm laws on the books enacted since the early 1900’s.
“Common Sense” is nothing more that Satanic lies to disarm us.
You have run out of places to store them?
If you are having to lean them against the side of your house you might want to get a bigger house.
EXACTLY
True! They will hate me. I’m stocking up on ammo.
Budget.
“Statistically, could someone please explain how 2.55 million background checks translates into 1.9 million firearms sold?”
To be precise the 1.9 million are firearms added to the existing stock. Background checks are also done for CCW permits, many are done for existing firearms that are sold on the used market.
The ration of checks to new stock is based on the NICS numbers of checks compared to the ATF reported number of guns manufactured for the private market, plus imports minus exports.
Excellent, thanks for the explanation!
I think we should draw the line at owning death stars that can obliterate whole planets. They should be limited to ten per person.
Oooh, i think I’m in love!
LOL

OMG!! Something is terribly wrong. You haven’t had a TBA where you lost all of them.
My guns were all lost in a catastrophic capsizing of my canoe in the careening cataracts of the Chattahoochee River. It was a calamity!
Limitless. You know...like taxes.
It Ain’t Fair!
