This thread "lost me" in the title with that UGLY 4 letter word......."need". Right out of the gate your premise is flawed because we don't NEED any shotgun. Food, shelter and clothing (in colder climes) are all we NEED (and we don't NEED a shotgun to get food). everything else is a want. Having said that, gauges I own are 8GA, 10GA, 12GA, 20GA, 28GA and .410 in SXS hammer guns (except the 20GA which is hammerless until I find the right hammer gun to replace it). As you can see, I don't (yet) own a 16GA. I don't have a "need" for a 16GA but if the right sxs hammer gun came along for the right price...............If someone wants to limit their shotguns to 2, then your hypothesis makes sense. It's the "only wanting 2 shotguns" part that, to me, doesn't make sense. There really IS no right or wrong position in this IMO.
