Ckit mentioned an arsenal. What would you guys consider an arsenal? 3 guns, 5 guns, 10, 20, 30, 50 guns? What

I would think about 15 guns is an arsenal. I own 4 and it's not nearly enough (even though I rarely shoot)

over 2k rounds of ammo and 20 fire arms and above counts as an arsenal in my book.

It's probably not the number of guns as the rate he bought them at and the function of the guns.

I'm all for the right to bear arms.

But I still don't understand why private citizens need the ability to purchase assault rifles online without an interview or a delay to check their sanity.

(I know he didn't have an assault rifle, I'm just saying)

Yikes dude, my 9 & 6 years old sons own way more ammo than that ( most of there ammo are bricks of 22) and since we live in the Republik Of Kalifornia I have been buying them stuff before the Politicos ban everything. They own over 20 arms of different types. Goes off like a fart in church when you live in a beach community. But screw them.

What would you call what I own ?

But I hunt and shoot more than most.

Nothing tastier than stalking and killing your own animals.

What if your a hunter or shoot in competition?

I have 8 shotguns just for hunting doves, ducks & turkey's.

I have a crapload of handguns just for various types of hunting, not mention target shooting.

Plus a bunch of long range hunting rifles.

Some people just have a bunch of stuff.

Heck I have 10 surfboards just for various waves. I either a collector or a whack job.

I guess you might be able to do that if you buy from a private party but every site I've looked at requires you to ship to a FFL dealer. They will then do the full background check and follow the letter of the law. I know an FBI check isn't perfect but it's a pretty good background check.

BTW, I'm not picking on you in any way, you make good points and make me think.
