Mine is basic, Im a minimalist. 22LR, 223 and 44 mag lever. I shoot about anything I can get away with 22LR, will do the same with 223, and 44 for special roles aka subsonics culling pigs next to built up areas and stuff too big for the 223 in close quarters. Formerly was a 357 in this task but I needed a bit more thump.

Oh boy
Well, I know I have one muzzleloader, the Hawken Rifle (Tony Hawkin, NZ 1970's) in .45-caliber. Two air-rifles, both in .177" -the Crosman Slayer break-action gas-strut, and the CO2 Umarex Ruger 10/22 10-shot repeater. Two guns, both 12ga. - the Stoeger Condor 30" over-under with 3"-chambers, and the Dickinson T1000 straight-pull with 20" and 28" barrels. My rimfires are all .22LR - the Ruger Precision, Ruger American Target and Compact, both in MDT chassis, Henry H001 lever, Norinco JW21 lever (copy of the Winchester 9422), Norinco JW25A (copy of the Brno Model 1 German training rifle of 1945), plus some old repeaters and single-shots from within the family. My hunting rifles are Ruger Americans in .204, .223, 243 and 7mm-08, all in MDT chassis using AICS mags. My lever-actions are the Uberti 66 Yellowboy in .38 Special, the Rossi '92 in .357Mag, the Marlin 1894 in .44Mag, and the Winchester 1894 in .30-30. Then there are the milsurps, including three Lee Enfields - standard Lithgow SMLE and No4Mk1*, and a modified competition SMLE, three 6.5x55mm Swede Mausers - the M94, M38 Husqvarna, and the M96 CG, two 8x57mm Turkish Mausers, one original, one sporterised into a very nice un-scoped hunting rifle, a pair of M1904/39 Portuguese Mausers in 8x57mm and a pair of original M1904's in 6.5x58mm, a very nice Brno Mauser Kar98k, a Remington M1903-A3 in .30-06, the Carcano TS Short Rifle (that makes me laugh out loud every time I take it shooting - so much fun), the M1891/30 Mosin-Nagant and M39 Finn in 7.62x54R, and a few others.
I like lots of options

Do you get a free firearm when you join, if so, I'm in!
Rose quit work last year to concentrate on the farm so I had to cut my spending, don't think I've bought any firearms this year, but I am considering one just now

What's another firearm ? It's just one right ?
You can stop buying them any time you like
Apparently, when SA police sat with people from within the firearms industry to discuss potential changes to storage requirements a few years back there was a discussion about a local collector who when last inspected prepared for the police's arrival by setting up several big plastic fold out tables on a tennis court, when they arrived he had every table covered end for end with firearms, once one table had been marked off he'd put them away and fill that table again with another lot.
This went on for most of the day until the police involved gave up and said " it looks like everything is in order... that'll be enough for now"
This bloke had literally hundreds of firearms.
The question was raised during consultation with the industry using that as an example...
"How many is enough, what number is too much ... 100, 200, 300, 500?
Thankfully they didn't put a cap on our numbers, they simply made the security requirements incrementally more stringent as the numbers go up.
If I can employ someone to chair the firearms Anonymous group, it'll be that bloke
