1200 guns and two tons of ammo

[JamesG]

What the hell why did the police even take his collection?

Homes of deceased persons and estate sales are broken into and stolen from all the time. It makes sense for them to move a large number of firearms like that to a secure location. Assuming of course they are property accounted for and the cops don't "help themselves" to a few... which would be my concern.

What I really don't like is the "tone" of the article that implies "OMG!!1!" or that there might be some misdoing. Only in Kalifornia or NY/NJ would this be about the gun collection.

I agree its not the fact that they secured the inventory its as you say the shock and almost assumption that the deceased was somehow a criminal.

ARSENAL? It's a freaking COLLECTION, you dim-wits!

Unused, unfired, new in box, still wrapped in original packaging is NOT a friggin' arsenal.

The truth is: The cops are collectors also and want to be sure and have the opportunity to "secure" some of these items for their own personal appropriation. Like the drug bust where $1 million was seized from a stopped vehicle. Yea, right... where's the "other" million?

is two tons really all that much ammo? Not if you shoot mosins......

Only in CommieFornia.
They are so worried about "legal" guns and ammo.
Should be more worried about "legal" citizens.

That would be more worried about "documented citizens" we must not insinuate that anyone is an "illegal".
