Having 1 rifle means you like to hunt. 5 means your trouble waiting for a place to happen. In this hypothetical I'm the federal government, who else can make gun control laws. The only body authorized to make gun control, as well as criminal, laws. Also I have the power to tell you how you can defend yourself in your own home.
