A collector? Naw I’m a gun user which I believe is what the 2nd amendment is about, collecting is a hobby using is a part of life.

Because I'm a trained Weapons Archivist with a specialization in Historic firearms and Edged Weapons.
-And also a Public Librarian and General Archivist.
Collections mean nothing until they've been properly identified, researched and archived.

Wow, I'm really disappointed in how many negative responses there has been to something as simple as being a Gun Collector, I've been to many Gun Shows over the years and met a lot of great Gun Collectors and fellow N.R.A. members.
So in this forum I expected to see more positive responses, for those of you that seem to take offense to this, relax, we are all here to share our enjoyment of Shooting Sports, no one here is trying to threaten your Gun Rights.

Exactly. Collections must have a theme; otherwise, they're just accumulations.
The danger in boxing ourselves into an official "collector" category is that eventually someone will come along and try to supervise our collecting activities. I can see them trying to license collecting in such a way as to exclude mere accumulations. You'd have to register your collecting themes, submit annual reports, etc., etc.
Don't laugh. The antigunners have no lack of imagination.

There has already been many instances where these "Red Flag" rules have caused gun owners to show all of their firearms and ammunition, then the public and media overreaction makes it out to be excessive.

I would prefer neither haters nor thieves to know I possess firearms. Since I don't know if anyone is either, I will offer no hints.
NYC may limit the number of handguns you own. They list each one on your permit, maybe if they run out of room? lol

Hey I have a theme. They all have at least one barrel.
So what was the point of this thread? The 2A is about keeping the government in perpetual fear of the people, not collecting guns or "enjoying the shooting sports". Collecting guns is fine of course, just like collecting cars or stamps, but it doesn't really have much to do with the 2A or the "gun rights" that the 2A is talking about.
OP if you have questions about specific firearms or specific ideas and plans to support and further our 2nd Amendment rights we have sub forums for that purpose. Let's call this, whatever it is, done.
