#6  Seriously, except for the grenades and launcher, I must have a Super Duper Mega arsenal. Like all good Rantburgeains.

#5  Hardly a mega arsenal. I would say there are many folks in the U.S., er, "collectors" or just citizens who like to celebrate their 2nd Amendment rights whose collections far exceed this mega arsenal. I suppose if they weren't law-abiding citizens and got busted for something the MSM would call their collection a mega-arsenal.

#3  Pretty weak for an "arsenal". Still, it's good to get that stuff off "the streets".
