Not everyone who collects guns and ammunitioni is a terrorist. There are two shotguns and a rifle in my house right now, and I haven't hunted in at least two years. I had an uncle, who is now passed away, who had scores of shotguns and rifles of every sort on display in all the rooms of his house in locked cases. I don't know how many rounds he had, but probably at least a few thousand. Even if he only had one small box of shells for each gun, it would still make about a dozen to one hundred shots per gun. In any case the man you speak of had no business collecting guns illegally. But that doesn't make him a terrorist any more than it makes someone a terrorist because they drive 5 mph over the speed limit everywhere they go. People break the law in "little" ways every day, and mean no harm in doing so. It is just human nature to do whatever they feel like doing. I'm not talking about a few rifles and shotguns here... i am talking about 51 illegal semi-automatic and automatic machine guns, ouzos and the likes...all i am saying these guns were not for "HUNTING WABITS"...they r killing machines made to kill men and lots of them !!! And about the terrorist thing...these days...anyone could be one espessialy a man with 51 illegal guns smuggled into the country !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be concerned about 100,000 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report I've got hunters and gun collectors in my family, in fact I own one myself and enjoy target shooting. So guns in and of themselves don't bother me. But that many illegal guns, and especially 100,000 rounds is a bit excessive. I think I would ask for an explanation or find a new doctor.

Report were these guns collected ( awuired ) prior to the ban of the guns? is this where he had them for years? and then afraid to register them or list them with the authorities for fear of loosing the collection because of power of the government to steal away our rights and privilages??? I know people that have guns that will never let them go until they are dead.... no matter how the law changes.... i know of some that have guns that use to be legal, but now are not.... how did the authorities find out about this mans stash of weapons? was it from a tratorous friend??? or a jealous friend???? sounds like he was set up to fall.... who knows, one of these days, a bow and arrow may be deemed illegal..... if that is the case, i would be in grave danger of being turned in for having one.... or two.... maybe three.... or is it a dozen??? and arrows??? who knows, maybe a couple dozen for each bow.... being once an animal is shot, the arrow is usualy damaged enough not to use it again.... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, it's a value to have. There are many gun collectors here that put his collection to shame, in both gun types and ammo. Nothing wrong with that. And if he had them to shoot, so what? What's wrong with a person shooting a fully automatic? It's fun. And of course we'd respect him. For goodness sakes, we made sure it was number 2 on the lists when protecting our freedoms!
