Numbers to a gun owner are different than what non-gunners perceive.  You can
own a .22, a shotgun, and a centerfire hunting rifle of some sort, then
soem would consider that  quite a few.  I use the golf club analogy.  if you t 
ell a golfer he should get by with one or two clubs, he'd laugh and explain
having a sand wedge is an essential club for your collection, it has one role
it does better than anything else.  Shooting sports, hunting, and general
practice and plinking are more diverse than a sport such as golf, and the
variation between calibers and types of actions  will vary greater.
