I don't consider myself the owner of an arsenal.  Don't have anywhere NEAR all the guns I'd like to have.  My collection is very modest, especailly when you compare it to some of my friends (*cough* Benny *cough* MB *cough*).  But today the wife's youngest brother was in town and we had lunch together.  Over lunch he told me that, now that his kids are no longer little, he was planning to get back into the gun thing.  After lunch we went back to the house and I took him into my gun room.  When I opened the safe his remark was, "Holy shit!!"

Sure, I have a couple of guns, but holy shit?!? 

I guess everything is a matter of perspective.

Never enough,.... ::) Even though my Father, Son, close shooting friends, all pretty much say the same thing. Followed up by,

"What are you going to war or something?"

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

My gun collection has about as many guns as tumbled out of BillT's gun save when he replaced the steps to the second floor in it with a lift   ;D ;D

Mine has about as many as Michael Bane drops out of his pockets when he puts his pants on in the morning.

My gun "collection" would make you cry if you saw it............out of sadness for me actually calling it a collection.
