Are they needed-No! Are they wanted-Yes Can you ever have too many- Shouldn't even need to answer that one. And nah, not the same boat. Just several "boating accidents"

If you think you have enough money/ammo/firearms, then something is wrong with you.

I try to convince myself that it is, but to no avail. It's sort of a vicious cycle: you tell yourself you only need "just a few more" off your priority list, then it's pretty much enough. After you get those "few more," however, you end up deciding, "ok, ok, just these last three or four priorities, then I'm pretty well set for a while." But no, the cycle always repeats itself. There may be lulls or periods of financial difficulty, etc., but you always just have to buy "a few more".
Besides, even if it were possible to have "enough" guns, the amount of mags/ammo you will at that point be determined to buy will keep you busy (and probably broke) for the rest of your life.

Every time I think I've got enough guns, I want one more. Next up on the list is a 7MM Rifle. I've got got enought handguns and EBR's, for the moment anyways.

Yeah,
I made a quick list of the priority guns I planned on purchasing. About a month later the list has tripled. Next up is either a 7.62/.308 (RRA AR-10?) or an AK variant (probably an underfolder). But I also need a new bird gun, and I don't have a .22 semi auto pistol yet, and I think I might need another Garand before the CMP supply runs out, and........and................and................and...............

i'm about the same. i have a .40 and a .45, and i somehow manage to stress myself out every time i'm buying ammo. i actually have conversations with myself... "but i only have 100rds of .40 left." "yeah, but the .45 is my TEOTWAWKI gun." "but you already have 1000+ rounds of .45--how much can you carry, anyway?" "well, i could buy the surplus deuce-and-a-half" "with all that money you save from not buying .40?" and so on... and the entire time, larry from sps guns just shakes his head and grins, because the bastard knows he's getting ALL of my money.

I have enough guns. But, I can't pass up a good deal, either. One more sneaks in from time to time.
Gotta work on the ammo situation, though.

My opinion is yes you can have enough guns , and I have posted this question about 2 month ago.
And stated I was done buying guns. Since then I bought a New Bushy A2 and am ordering a New P.O.S upper to fit my new LMT lower |

Don't you get it? The guns ARE your retirement savings! ETA: The novelty of a particular gun wears off about a week after you purchase and shoot it. So you want a new one. I think somebody should start timesharring guns. That way, you could renew the novelty anytime you wanted without having to actually own all 300 different guns. |

At this moment I tell myself I need (want) only two more firearms, a FAL and a Glock 26. I am sure once I get those I will need (want) some others. It never ends.

Enough, yes. Too many, no. (Therein lies the addiction...
 )
Ditto. Bought two in the last two days, both great deals/impulse buys, but I couldn't with any sincerity at all make the argument that I NEEDED either one...

Can you say collection? But a lot of times I just enjoy building them, and then I’ll sell them off if I don’t need them. Then I’ll build some more.

Yes
Guns, like cars, are money pits. Sure, if you had a billion dollars you could build a personal garage in New York and fill it with Porsches like Mr. Seinfeld, but reality is, there are many other things you can do with your money like make it work FOR you. I feel like most people don't spend a tenth enough time learning about financial mechanisms and how they can work to your advantage. Most people are idiots when it comes to the mechanicals of cars, boats, houses, guns... but why money? Money is for more than blowing on your toys you know... |

Holy crap!! I can't believe noone has said it yet.
How many guns are enough? A 10/22 and a .38.

Posted: 3/30/2006 7:12:54 PM EDT

Yes.
(OK almost )After I had about eight to ten AR's I quit buying them. There's a couple of pistols that I want - an old Browning Hi-Power and something in a .44 or better. On the rifle end there's nothing that really interests me now ... except an AR-10. |

You'd need at least two of the same gun. One to shoot, and one as a safe queen. |

Of course it's possible to have enough guns...just one more.
 It's the same with money. How much money is enough? Just a little bit more. |
