#12  Going to go out on a limb here.
-rubs hands together-

Recent, largely publicized or explained tax law is passed requiring $x per certain magazine capacity capable firearm plus registration; only one possible violation but whole lot is confiscated and reviewed on individual piece by piece.

Tax laws, the first and last laws enforced by any government ever.

#8  Police said that authorities received a tip that someone in the home was manufacturing and selling illegal weapons.

Bullshit.

All those firearms, and that is all the ammo they found. Summvavabitch I can shoot that in an afternoon.

This is a government raid on a private collection. Manufacturing hell. Selling, why? TW is absolutely right - if it were a arms distribution point, why so many varieties in so many different calibers?

You say paranoid collector, I say I wish I had a room like that; like watching a Bentley get keyed by a hundred monkeys.

And nowhere does the article say why, other than Warrant FU.

#7  Look at the article’s photos. The owner is a wealthy collector — at first glance, no two guns are alike, and many are clearly antique. I’ve moved this to Land of the Free.

#6  Saw a couple of M1921's in one of the photos, as well as an Uzi, so 'paranoid collector'?

Skidmark brings up a good point, however.

#5   Preppers or Bangers?

Or arms cache distribution point?

#4  hundreds of rifles, semiautomatics, handguns and even antique Civil War-era guns

Sounds more like a hoarder than a revolutionary. Unless by "antique Civil War era guns" they mean the Mosin-Nagant.

#3  What good are 1000 rifles without 'piles' of ammunition ?
