But PERSONALTY I don,t think we should be providing the antis shopping list of ideas they come up with some weird ideas as it is so to them a thread where many people say we should only have 5 guns is not a good idea to me that is retroactive and playing into their thought process we should be saying what 5 rifles/guns will we be buying next month.

I may be wrong just my take on it as i have over 20 calibers now.
I see where you're coming from and I agree with your premise. So here's a list of the five guns I think you could look at as a good starting point to a collection.
1. A good quality bolt action 22 LR. I like CZ's 455, but any well made one will do, the 455 has the advantage of being capable of being convertible to other cartridges. One action to register and three barrels and two mags give's you 22LR, 22 WMR, and 17HMR.
2. Double barreled shotgun. Most of my scatterguns are repeaters but I do own a trio of SxS and one O/U. Gauge would be 12 to start with.
3. Bolt action, military, 303.
4. Bolt action sporter rifle in 243 Win or 260 Rem.
5. Ruger Single-Six with a six inch barrel. With the extra cylinder you get 22LR/22 WMR, This is a good reliable starter gun and will last to your great-grandchildren.
