2,147,483,647

After that you will need to use a different variable type (LONG) in your database to catlog them.

A premise of the article is that controlling guns (the number, for example) will reduce violence. No thought for the idea that when violent criminals used to be held answerable for their acts, that violence was much lower.

The UK eliminated all gun ownership and crimes have been skyrocketing. In fact, hot crimes, in which the perp goes into the house when the owners are there, are way up.

well, you need one for each day of the week, holidays, birthdays and other special events. You need a few different kinds for hunting and then one must accessorize....

Too much [guns]? What's that mean? It's like too much money, there's no such thing

It's like a girl too pretty, with too much class

Being too lucky, a car too fast

No matter what they say I've done I ain't never had too much [guns]

I'll own as many damn guns as I want. In fact, because of this article, I am going to look into getting a rifle - one of the holes in my gun collection...

There is no such thing as too much horsepower or too many guns. The idiot hoplophbes don't realize that an individual can't fire them all at once. A good way to make a hoplophobe speechless is to tell them: "I'm pro choice on the 2d Amendment. I won't force you to own a firearm"!

If you start losing track of them, you have too many.

State laws require all firearms to be "secured in a locked container or equipped with a tamper-resistant mechanical lock or other safety device, properly engaged so as to render such weapon inoperable by any person other than the owner or lawfully authorized used."

So my house too big of a locked container?

Odd law in MA, both that one, and the Firearms ID card business. My sympathies to MA.

"Too many" firearms is one more than the last blue-nosed busybody thinks you ought to own. That number tends toward zero if you let them run your life for you.

How many pair of underwear is too many? You generally only wear one at a time...

You only "NEED" one gun :) (those are for fun)

But you should have as many "Weapons" as you want.

On the other hand, with 1 proper weapon (and a sh!t load of ammo) you could probably get by (but why just have one?)

Does it matter how many little glass pigs you have on your nic/nac shelf? Does it matter how many old cars you have out in your garage? Does it matter how many refrigerator magnets you have on your fridge?

Why would there be a special category for having and collecting guns?
