do you not agree everyone should have those three tools? can you imagine anyone not owning a conceal carry pistol of some kind, an AR or any other type of carbine or shot gun? I'm not limiting anyone to those three, i'm saying at the minimum these three are where you should start.

The US has about 328 million people, 74 million of whom are minors who can’t own firearms. This brings us down to 254 million. Say (an admittedly arbitrary) 20% of those are not allowed firearms for various reasons - criminal records, mental instability, whatever. This brings us down to 204 million. Take away the 2 million or so currently incarcerated and rounding down, we get 200 million people at three guns each.
So, at 600 million guns, you can close up shop.

you forget this is the required minimum according to me. for everyone legally allowed to own a gun. and you also seem to have forgotten that the minors will not stay minors forever in your calculation. not to mention immigrants and those who petition to have their gun rights reinstated. (after 9 years in some states you can get your fire arms rights back even after felony charges)
again not saying 3 is the limit. i'm saying those three should be mandatory, and you should have 1000 rounds for each and be made to train with those guns. if you want or need more then you have to show proficiency with those three first. then move up to the next level on up to a tank or anti tank or big bore fire arms/cannons.. depending on your own perceived need and budget. I would even go so far to say if you show proficiency and are responsible enough to house such devices the government should help you buy things like tanks if you can afford the storage and up keep.
If I didn't know better, I would think this indicates a sense of humor on Drich's part.
So I better get busy around here we need four more guns, a shit ton of ammo and I need to brush up on my skills with a LAW...are those still a thing?
Husband is going to be pissed that he'll have to house the hotrod he's having built elsewhere to make room for our brand new tank.
Thanks for the morning chuckle.
