The word "need" is the $65,000 word here.
Need for what?
When I read or hear a question like that, my brain automatically focuses on the literal (?) spin and look at it from the angle of need for the bare essentials.
IMHO, everyone who is a capable citizen should have at a minimum:
A- 1 ea. 12ga preferably a pump
B- 1 ea. .22 lr handgun
C- 1 ea. .22 lr rifle
D- 1 ea. major caliber handgun
E- 1 ea. major caliber rifle (.30 cal)
These, with the requisite ammo supply, should fill any basic necessity related to firearms.
Anything above that would fall into more of a "want" category and IMHO, there is no end to the list of wants.
