What does Mutually Assured Destruction mean?
Mutually assured destruction (MAD) was a post-WW2 term used during the Cold War when USA and USSR were building up their arsenal of nuclear weapons (e.g., bombs, strategic bombers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles. MAD is a doctrine for defending your country, and its premise is that you have enough nuclear weapons that would allow you to completely destroy your enemy if it should start a nuclear war. This threat assures the enemy that no one will survive the nuclear war and therefore it is useless to start one. There is no such thing is a limited nuclear war. If one country started it, the other would retaliate in a full-scale attack.

I have never seen the term "arsenal" used in the ATF regulations, other than referring to facilities that manufacture weapons for the military- those are called arsenal by the military- "Rock Island Arsenal" or "Springfield Arsenal". FWIW, the ATF regulates the the manufacture, sale, and transfer of firearms- they do not license how MANY firearms you may own. I DO see the term "arsenal" used by people in the news media that seem to have no idea of its meaning- as when they report that police found an "arsenal" in someone's house- 3 rifles, and a dozen boxes of ammunition. That is not an arsenal, nor is it a good sized collection!
