By virtue of his threats AND the volume of firearms, I'd say the guy isn't wrapped too tight. It's not the guns alone - there are many collectors who wouldn't hurt a fly. In fact, they are likely not to give their guns that much use at the range outside of the break-in period for fear of wearing them out and diminishing their value.
As far as "need" for any purchase of any item, it doesn't apply.
Why would Jay Leno need as many cars as he has? He can afford them, so it's his business.
