1. Is there a problem with "excess"

if they are properly stored, account for, and the owner not a problem?

Collectors like to collect every model/variant particularly of historical rifles. If someone has every variant of the Lee-Enfield, that is a fair amount of rifles, but is that excess or in any way a threat?

Outside of the survivalist crowd, most shooters do not have duplicates. Every firearm would be unique. Typical for collectors or enthusiasts in any area.

Outside of people who own guns for self defense, few have just one. The current generally accepted stats reflect that. Not sure that is a problem.
