Weapons found in dead man’s home

SANFORD -- Military weapons removed from a Sanford house Sunday and Monday ranged from World War II-era armament to arms used in the on-going military actions in the Iraq as well as wars in between.

Working with bomb squads from the Seminole and Orange County sheriff's offices, U.S. Army weapons experts X-rayed and removed more than 400 items, ranging from bazookas to grenades, found in the home of Scott Quinn, whose body was found about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

Quinn was a licensed firearms dealer. It appears that many of the weapons found in his house in the Placid Woods neighborhood were there legally, said Sanford Police spokeswoman Cleo Cohen.

But police know that some of the explosives found in the house were illegal, and they are still trying to determine the legality of some of the other military items found there.

Too strange. Since this guy was a licensed manufacturer, he needs no other special permits to own or manufacture machine guns and they are of no concern. However, the explosive devices are another matter entirely.

Was he selling explosives to terrorists? Was he an FBI or CIA operative trying to lure terrorists?

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

Interesting question, particularly considering the spook/CIA connections that the Orlando flight school where Mohamed Atta and the other 09/11 suicide plane drivers learned to fly has. And that kid from Orlando who went on his own suicide plane flight.

Either the spooks are real busy around there, or the Disney people have been putting something funny in the water.

There's an M1 Thompson SMG, a German [or Austrian or Yugo] MG42, and a WWII British Vickers watercooled heavy MG, among the others in there. Whoever dies with the best toys does not necessarily win.
