Why should I be allowed to limit the number/type of firearms you own?

Why are you unaware that any firearm may be used for self defense?

Then what do you mean by your *reasonable limits* mention above?
Pay attention.
SOME guns are already illegal in the US.

Not true at all, just look at the other countries where the guns have 
already been collected.
The gov't only has to make guns illegal and then millions of law abiding 
persons will willingly turn them over.

You really should research some of this stuff before you go spouting off, 
you seem terribly ignorant on this topic.
Just a suggestion mind you.

It happened with flintlocks over 200 years ago, it may happen again. That is 
the point of the 2nd amendment. Read it sometime.

> All you do with all those needless guns is endanger cilivians.

Well, maybe YOU are likely to endanger other people with a gun, but leave me 
out of your equation as I have never endangered anyone with a gun.

> You want a gun for self-defense, great. A gun to hunt, great.

You nor anyone else will dictate the type or quantity of guns I possess, nor 
do you get to say what I will do with guns.
As with any/all of my property, I will do with it as I choose, and it is 
none of your business.
To even consider such a thing undermines your credibility.

> in large numbers? Ridiculous.

Sorry, but you don't get to say anything at all about what type of guns that 
I have.
You see, when people like you attempt to dictate the possessions of others, 
you end up being killed and thrown in the dumpster.
It happens all the time, read a paper.
If people spent less time concerning themselves with other's affairs they'd 
have more time to focus on their own, and the world would be a much nicer 
place for all.
