A 10 year old boy with a Marlin Model 60 and a sack full of .22LR could have done almost as much damage. It has nothing to do with the number of weapons. I’m sure the author would like us to return to muskets.

Not sure a .22LR will do a lot of damage at 300 yards. However, I wouldn’t stand 300 yards away and let you shoot at me so I could prove my opinion.

There is no reason one person needs that many guns. But the Constitution doesn’t say a reason is needed but fighting off a tyrannical government that’s trying to take away the people’s guns is a very good reason.

My Marlin 60 never jams, and with my cheap scope I'm nailing the red at 400 meters. My cheapest rifle is my Mosberg 100 ATR in the 30-06 round (I got it on sale), and I'm hitting the nail at 600 meters. Money doesn't equal accuracy. Since I'm a Christian I could never kill another human being unless he or she was a threat to my family.

I am pretty sure that even with a musket it could have been bad.
Those 54 caliber minie balls were known to take off arms, legs, and heads during the Civil War.
