I interpret the rather vague OP as meaning; being identified as a *Gun Collector* rather than a *Gun Hoarder*, *Stockpiler* or other socially onerous term.I really don't understand. Why would anyone want everyone else to know that he/she is a "gun collector"? In my neighborhood it only makes you a target for the bad guys.
And it sounds better than gun nut.Anti-gunners are going to be lost on the term "firearms collector", they will probably pay it no heed.
Why do you feel the need to identify yourself as a “gun collector”?
The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with collecting firearms.
I have never heard of a US state limiting the total number of firearms you can own. Can you name one state with such a law?you have the right to own as many as you want, for any reason you have, and it is nobody's business... some states get this, some don't.
That's right. The 2nd Amendment is not about gun collecting any more than it is about hunting. Gun collecting is an even more tenuous justification than hunting is.The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with collecting firearms.
yes. every state where you have to have any registration or permit, becomes prohibitive due to the hassle and paperwork you have to do, and renew every year - which can be rejected if not approved.I have never heard of a US state limiting the total number of firearms you can own.

So you can't name one. There is not a single US state that limits the total number of guns you can own. That is a fact. Sure California's registration for all purchases is a hassle but you can still own 1,000 guns if you want.yes. every state where you have to have any registration or permit, becomes prohibitive due to the hassle and paperwork you have to do, and renew every year - which can be rejected if not approved.
