Congratulations, the reality when discovering new stuff can be intoxicating. Please take it slowly. Spending time at a range, is important. Ballistics is simple, hold out a ball and drop it, if you fire a bullet flat they should both hit the ground at the same time. Bullets have more energy so they travel farther and faster in the process. Economics is simple, don't spend money you don't have, and no matter how many guns you have, the one closest to your hand is the one you need in a critical situation.

Glad to hear you left NJ. Hope you can build a nice collection, some can hold their value, some are just fads, but some really good ones were only made for a few years and seem to be more difficult to come by. The worst purchase I ever made was a 1995 mini-14, but just turned a new barrel for it, and got a nice gun out of it.

Wish you had headed south instead of west. I help the local sheriffs department by buying a $20 permit each year, that I don't even have to have in my state. (The locals are cool here) The department spends a lot of time and money patroling the county. They wouldn't ask you for more than to fill out a questionnaire for their own check on you. Yes, there is still an FBI check if I buy a gun, usually takes 10 minutes. But like thelma, we can make stuff that doesn't need paperwork unless you sell it. I like to make stuff, test it, then use it for parts. It's not that I don't trust the stuff I make, it's just a fun hobbie/challange. Want a gun that looks like a pack of smokes, make it, test it, funs gone, dream up something else.

You can buy 30 and greater round mags at most gun shows and at a few stores here and there. It's only illegal to take possession of them in Colorado, not own them.

Making guns is super awesome.

I have not bought a gun in 30+ years.

I make my own designs.

I have not named them beyond "design 1", "design 2", etc.
