Apply the same to guns: fun or necessity. Fun would be going out to the range and showing a target the true meaning of pain with as many different guns as you can afford, necessity would be either something like hunting or personal/home defense. I'm pretty sure I covered both of those, along with the "it's my right" non-answer. Still, that doesn't explain directly why someone would need more than one or two guns.

Fun or necessity? That's an absurd descriptor.
There are some cars you can tow with because the engine provides enough torque. You can't haul a ski boat with a small SUV like a RAV4 just because it has a towball in the back. Just because you have a large SUV doesn't mean you can comfortably seat 7 people. It's about application.
A slingshot, bow and arrow, crossbow, all pistol and rifle variants of .22, .357, .45, shotgun all have different abilities and used for different applications.
Use too high of a caliber when you are hunting small animals and you won't have anything left to eat. Use too small a caliber hunting large game and you may find yourself hurt by a charging large animal like a bear, lion, elephant.
Use a .22 to defend your home you man not stop a person on PCP because a .22 doesn't have enough velocity to put a person down on his ass like a .45 will.
I'd also state that when I was an avid practicing gun enthusiast. I liked to target practice with a .22 because the rounds were cheaper. I still got in .45 rounds, but not as many. I can't load cheaper rounds to practice in a higher caliber pistol.
