Its also getting to the point for me of "How many guns are enough"?. Its estimated that there are close to 300 million guns in the US with about 5 million new firearms made every year. Serious question....How many is too many?

You're dumb and throwing out numbers like this is a dumb argument.

Point #1. And the only one that matters is the constitution says I can own as many guns as I wish

but just to add a few more points

2. Different guns do different things. Different guns for different game, some guns are for just shooting for fun, Some guns are for competitive shooting, self defense, etc.

3. Guns are like anything else in that there is new technology in the marketplace from time to time so you need to purchase new guns to get the latest and greatest.

4. Guns break, some rust, get lost, get stolen, etc so when that happens you need to replace that gun if it can't be found or repaired.

5. I have some black powder guns I used to deer hunt with but LA changed the law on that and made them pretty much useless and not worth much. That law change also made me buy a new gun to "black powder" hunt with.

6. Some guns are collector items.

That's off the top of my head. I could go on and on about why there are so many guns but again the first point I listed is all that matters.
