For Tam...

Who mentioned being dismayed whenever the news reports on an arsenal of guns seized from a home. Well, here's a story from Mass of all places that might be more what she's looking for...


AUBURN (AP) ― Investigators found 85 guns and 800 pounds of ammunition in an Auburn home.

Police say a 72-year-old Auburn man will face criminal charges after investigators found 85 guns and 800 pounds of ammunition in his home. Investigators zeroed in on Anthony Simulynas after a Worcester resident who was arrested for illegal possession of military-style explosives and assault weapons said he stole a powerful machine gun from the Auburn man.
Here's the picture from the link:



Not as impressive as some, but certainly better than the usual "arsenal" consisting of a pump shotgun, a tube-fed .22, and an old H&R .32 S&W...

That is all.

I don't have 85 guns, but I have a lot more than 800 pounds of ammo.

Looks to me like he was just a collector.

Hmmmm, "...800 pounds of ammunition." That's about a third of the weight of the ammo on one of my shelving units, heh.

I'm a little more confused than usual. what was the original crime that led to the seizing of this collection?

Sigboy - He lived in Mass, had a cache of guns, and the audacity to allow one to be stolen from him.

Heh- ONLY 800 lbs of ammo, he was a piker! I'm guessing his "sin" was having a weapon stolen... A portent of things to come? Where was the 4th Amendment protection here???

You might be a gun nut if the first thing you think that article is worthless without (real) pics.
