Lots of room for upward expansion. What could replace cartridge firearms?

Lasers? Electromagnetic propelled projectiles? Nanobot or insect sized swarms of personal drones?

The 2nd Amendment doesn’t say anything about “limits”...’nuff said.

> People still have and use utensils that were made in the 1800s.
My favorite wrench was manufactured in 1832 and I still use it when I work on plumbing. It’s better crafted than the junk available today.

Received my first pistol for Christmas. I have my eye on another and a rifle. Wonder if that constitutes “too many” in the government’s eyes?

I haven’t undergone an on-site NICS check for 15-20 years. Ever since I’ve had my GFL/WCL here in Georgia. That card lets me bypass the NICS any time I buy a weapon. The license is good for 5 years. Three/Four NICS checks for the licenses - how many guns do you suppose I bought during that time?

Well--it does.

As in "The gov't may NOT limit our right to keep and bear arms."

What is a Reasonable Upper Limit on Gun Ownership by the Department of Homeland Security?

What is a Reasonable Upper Limit on Gun Ownership by the IRS?

What is a Reasonable Upper Limit on Gun Ownership by the FBI?

What is a Reasonable Upper Limit on Gun Ownership by any other Fedzilla Agency?

What is a Reasonable Upper Limit on Gun Ownership by the Open Borders Lobby?

Those are all questions which need to be answered first!

Congratulations!

Sounds like more are in your future.

How much is too much is a question the government has no right to ask, nor should we ever feel compelled to answer.

I have more guns than I probably need but not nearly as many as I want.

The legal limit should be as many as you can afford and all the ammunition you need to go along with them. Although you can only shoot one at a time, one does need a choice for the task at hand.

Why no NICS for exercising one’s right to work in the media? What is the upper limit on reporters?

I have a wrench from a Model T in my toolbox that still gets used.

In Unforgiven the one-armed deputy is asked why he carries three guns. His answer is, "Well I just don't want to be killed for lack of shootin' back." Sounds like a reasonable justification for having just as many guns as you want.
