I think about posting this question every time something is in the news. How would you define the following when it comes to guns;
a lot =
a cache =
a stash =
a hord =
a collection =
an arsenal =
an armory =
a plethora =
Did I miss any?
Post pictures if you think it will help.
Have fun.
To answer the OP's question, we will have to break the answers into two groups--antis and us. Sooo...
ANTIS:
a lot = bad
a cache = really bad
a stash = felony
a hord(e) = guilty
a collection = highly questionable
an arsenal = Need more laws
an armory = So what? This is where guns should be. It's under .gov control, right? Right?
a plethora = Wut? Sounds bad. Assumed guilty.
US:
a lot = Posh. You know you don't have a plethora and are just trying to make it sound like you do.
a cache = Dumbass. You can't get to a cache fast enough to make use of it. What, is it buried in the backyard or something?
a stash = Sounds pretty damn small to me.
a hord(e) = Why are you hoarding and not shooting?
a collection = You probably want to sell me expensive antique things that I can't find ammo for and wouldn't want to shoot anyway.
an arsenal = You have a pump .22 rifle with a bent follower, half a box of ammo from the 1960's, your dad's unloaded ivory handled .32 ACP in your nightstand, and a cigar box with an assortment of unidentified reloads. And you feel safe.
an armory = If you really have an armory I want to be your friend.
a plethora = Yes. This is what you need.
And one more:
enough = No you don't.
