I see a lot moral outrage getting stirred up about one group of people telling others what guns they shouldn't own. Despite all this infringement of personal freedom, there's also never a shortage of opinions about what "every gun owner should have." For every guy saying that you NEED to get a Glock, there's another saying that you NEED to get a 1911. What every gun owner should have is whatever they want and nothing else.
In order to meet the absolute bare necessities, a list should include a center-fire bolt action rifle.
I personally believe every American Citizen should at the bear minimum be required by law to own:
.22 rifle
shotgun
mid to long range rifle
handgun
Aside from the .22, caliber is not a concern to me as long as the owner is comfortable with it.
