OMG!!!! We've GOT to do something to keep 'these' guns out of the hands of 'those' people! (Or is it "keep 'those' guns out of the hands of 'these' people"? - indeed, what difference does it make?)

Calamity averted!

Note that two EBRs, a pistol, and a shotgun constitute 'an arsenal'.

FWIW, I looked up the definition of 'arsenal' at m-w.com:


b : a collection of weapons

So really, two guns (or knives for that matter) in one place constitutes an 'arsenal'.

This article reads like something that was very "made-up".

I guess if one ingests their full RDA of television everyday, something this blatantly ridiculous might be taken seriously.

Sorry, I've had this song stuck in my head for days.
