The "arsenal" represents a threat to others the same way his paper presents a threat to libel, slander, or defame others, or the reporter's house contains the items to be referred to as a "torture chamber" or "drug dealer's lair".

Last time I checked, we were innocent until proven guilty, I guess that with his paper, that right died with the Second Amendment.

Preach on! Hallelujah! LOL

I hear you but you have to understand the mindset of the NY liberal. Since NYC has such draconian anti-gun laws the presense of one gun let alone 13 constitutes an arsenal for these close minded idiots.

A couple of months ago the mayor (A Democrat who ran as a Republican) of NYC was asked about the possibility of relaxing the gun laws in the city. After blinking long and hard and with a stupid look on his face he stammered.."but why? who owns guns in NYC? I don't know anyone that owns a gun anyway....".

How isolated do you have to be from the rest of the country to make a statement to that effect? The writers in NY for the most part either grew up in NYC or have lived there their entire adult lives, have never seen a gun, let alone owned one and think they are nothing but pure evil.

I am pretty sure that you could get more rational gun discussion from one of the million mom marchers than from a reporter in NY.

This has been proven to not be a true story, but the joke remains relevant to this thread.

I was listening to the radio the other day, and I heard one of the all-time best comeback lines in my life. Note: This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?"
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting."
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?"
GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range."
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"
GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. "
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers."
GENERAL REINWALD: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? "

The term "arsenal" in this context does not bother me.

Main Entry: ar·se·nal
Pronunciation: 'ärs-n&l, 'är-s&n-&l
Function: noun
Etymology: Italian arsenale, ultimately from Arabic dAr sinA'ah house of manufacture
1 a : an establishment for the manufacture or storage of arms and military equipment b : a collection of weapons
2 : STORE, REPERTORY <the team's arsenal of veteran players>

13 is a collection, isn't it? Whatever.

The explosives are the real story IMO.

"Arsenal" implies military weapons

Colt's does not have an arsenal, do they? Neither do firearms retailers. Does the NRA Museum collection qualify? When used properly, only the military/government does.

Most adults can legally possess all of the components of pipe bombs. They are not illegal till they are assembled as such. They are not particularly good weapons, but seem to appeal to pinheads because of their relative ease of manufacture and availability of components. We will not be discussing that further.
