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.

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.

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.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Sudanese protest and opposition leaders called on Wednesday for civil disobedience in response to the military’s "disappointing" answer to their interim constitutional proposals.
The Transitional Military Council (TMC) said it broadly agreed with the draft but that it neglected some important issues such as a reference to Islamic shari’ah as a source for legislation.
But the opposition groups’ umbrella body, the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFCF), said shari’ah was not a matter for the interim constitution, and that the TMC response would in effect give the military control of a proposed interim government.
"We call for and prepare for civil disobedience," Madani Abbas Madani, a DFCF leader, told a news conference in Khartoum.
Thousands of protesters have been camping outside the Defense Ministry in central Khartoum and, having secured a military overthrow of president Omar Hassan al-Bashir, are now demanding that the TMC hand over power to civilians.
The TMC has said it is willing to agree to a government of technocrats, but wants to retain overall control, pending elections, to prevent Sudan sliding into chaos.
Khalid Omar Yusef, another protest leader, said the aim was not to start a confrontation with the military but to speed up efforts to resolve the impasse.

[AlAhram] Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... fighters have killed nine people in two separate attacks in northeastern Nigeria, looting and torching a village and ambushing three farmers, officials and local militia forces said Wednesday.
Fighters packed in trucks stormed into the village of Molai just before sunset on Tuesday, when villagers were preparing to pray and break their fast for the Moslem holy month of Ramadan.
The jihadist button men, loyal to Boko Haram chief Abubakar Shekau ... the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who has been reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down ... , killed six people and burned dozens of homes.
Usman Kyari, who heads the state Emergency Management Agency, said six bodies were collected after the attack. All had been rubbed out.
"The gunnies burnt around 40 homes and looted goods," Kyari said.
Molai, which is five kilometres (three miles) from Borno state capital Maiduguri, has been repeatedly attacked by the jihadists.
A member of a militia force, which fights alongside regular government soldiers, said the Boko Haram fighters were too many and they were overpowered.
"We all withdrew from the village," the militia soldier said.
Later, Nigerian aircraft bombed the area, and the jihadists retreated, he added.
In a separate attack, Boko Haram fighters killed three farmers near the town of Konduga, 38 kilometres (24 miles) outside Maiduguri, militia leader Ibrahim Liman said.
"The button men slit the throats of the farmers and dumped their bodies," Liman told AFP.
The holy warriors often kill farmers, loggers and herders, accusing them of passing information to the army.

[Standard] Detectives investigating historic allegations of child sexual abuse and exploitation in Rotherham have enjugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! 40 people over the last two months, the National Crime Agency announced today.
They said thirty-eight men and two women are being investigated as part of Operation Stovewood.
Those arrested were aged between 29 and 53, and were from Sheffield, Rotherham, Leeds, Dewsbury and Maidstone.
All have been bailed or released under investigation pending further inquiries.
The offences relate to 13 victims who came forward alleging abuse between 1997 and 2015, when they were aged between 11 and 26.
Carl Vessey-Baitson, from the NCA, said: "Arresting such a large number of individuals, as part of one Stovewood sub-operation, shows our desire to listen to victims and bring offenders to justice is not wavering.
"Stovewood is a challenging and complex investigation, with victims and survivors reliving abuse that took place many years ago.
"To date we have engaged with over 410 victims and survivors and have arrested or interviewed by appointment 94 suspects, meaning this is the largest law enforcement investigation into non-familial CSAE (child sexual abuse and exploitation) ever undertaken in the UK.
"Conducting such an investigation can only be achieved with the support and co-ordination of our partners, and South Yorkshire Police and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council continue to provide invaluable assistance."
The NCA launched Operation Stovewood, at the invitation of South Yorkshire Police, after Professor Alexis Jay's 2014 report into the rape, grooming and trafficking of hundreds of children in Rotherham.
The Jay Report described how more than 1,400 children had been affected, but Operation Stovewood has since identified 1,523 victims.
Towards the end of 2018, the NCA said it had 151 designated suspects, 275 other people under investigation and 296 female survivors of exploitation actively engaging with officers.
The NCA has full control of allegations between 1997 and 2013, with 250 staff and an annual budget that will soon reach £15 million a year.
It is estimated the operation will cost more than £90 million by 2024 - the date to which current planning extends.

You know, I used to think the police in the Python skit "The Piranha Brothers" was a parody. It's rather disheartening to realize that it really does take a "Gangsters nuke Luten Airport" before the police sit up and take notice.
[DAWN] At least three people, including a tribal leader named Wali Khan Achakzai, were killed in a blast in Killa Abdullah, Levies forces said on Wednesday.
Achakzai was returning home from work when the blast occurred, Levies officials said, adding that two of his guards were also killed in the kaboom while his car was completely destroyed.
It was not immediately clear if it was a assassination.
The nature of the attack is being determined, Levies officials said.

Misleading headline, chemical weapons are different.
Those are the ones that the Syrian government was accused of using, right exactly whenever support for the opposition appeared to be waning, and always at the worst possible time for them.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... on Wednesday announced sanctions against Iran’s steel and mining sectors, hours after Tehran said it would suspend some curbs under a denuclearization deal rejected by Washington.
The White House said it was targeting the country’s biggest revenue source after oil and warned in a statement: "Tehran can expect further actions unless it fundamentally alters its conduct."
The news sanctions came on the first anniversary of Washington’s withdrawal from the 2015 landmark deal between Tehran and world powers, as US officials said they would keep squeezing Iran to force it to return to the negotiating table for a more comprehensive deal that would seek to curtail Iranian ambitions in the Middle East.
