Well,if it's the BBC or MSLSD a “huge” arsenal is a toy cap gun.

A dozen firearms would make him a beginner in Texas.
It’s a fair collection in NC or VA.

A family of six should have as a minimum six .22lr pistols, six .22lr rifles, six larger pistols, six larger semi-auto rifles, six larger bolt/lever rifles, and six to twelve shotguns. So 30 or 36 would not be a “huge arsenal” for a family. If they cannot move around the home without tripping, or if they cannot keep all of their precision equipment clean and well-maintained, then it may be moving toward the “huge arsenal” descriptor.

Children have been suspended from school for eating their bread into a shape of a gun. Must’ve been an arsenal for the kid to get suspended.

Large stash of ammo = 2 bricks of .22 lr. (hundreds of rounds of ammo - or just enough for a family afternoon at the range). Although the politically correct term is not stash, it is cache - that sounds much more military like. As for a huge arsenal, that would be any time there is more than two weapons (and yes, don’t they look intimidating when they have pictures in news reports of all those weapons laying on a table - truly scary: as if the weapons will spontaneously jump off the table and kill you). The count of more than two weapons is important in the definition of an arsenal. The trick here is have more weapons that can be used by a single person at any given moment. (It is kind of difficult to shoot three weapons at the same time.) The terminology used must correspond to mental-midget lack of commonsense.

The left is trying to re-define “arsenal” to a few guns or a over 100 rounds of ammo to use it in a way to brainwash(Eric Holder’s words) the public into being fearing gun collectors etc.

IMO owning many different guns or ammo in the hands of legal gun owners is never an arsenal...its a collection

Remember when the Sandy Hook shooter’s home was searched a his mother had a couple long guns, a couple handguns and a few hundred rounds of ammo? It was called an arsenal and preparation for war.

What I’d call it is a “lazy, undisciplined noncommittal” A dozen? Shoot.....that’s just playing around.

A huge arsenal is one where you can manufacture 16” guns for battleships.

I think they mean armory.

I’m guessing that would be any armory with more than 100 weapons for each person served...

North Dakota’s Definition:

1) “A couple” = 2-9
2) “A few” = More than 10, fewer than 20
3) “Several” = More than 20, fewer than 100
4) “Quite a number” = More than 100, fewer than 500
5) “Lots” = More than 500

Funny story: I was in Western North Dakota and saw a few pheasant running around a farm. I stopped at the farm-house to ask permission to hunt. The man said “Sure!”, but somehow it ended up we were in his house looking at his guns.

Guns covered every counter, table, and wall in all rooms. Racks and racks and racks of guns. Masses of guns on the kitchen counter. Thousands.

He waxed eloquent on his collection. He handed me one off the wall without showing me it’s loaded / unloaded condition, so I immediately asked, “Is it loaded?”

“Sure! They’re all loaded,” he said as if having a gun unloaded would be stupid.

A “huge arsenal” is any number the cops say it is when they arrest somebody.
