[JUDGE RELEASED HIM ON $7,500 bond]!!!!...A 20-year-old with a weapons cache that included four AK-47s was arrested after an internet threat to carry out a Virginia Tech-style massacre. Guns and ammunition were found. Authorities in Oregon, Florida, heard of a web message allegedly posted by Calin Chi Wong that warned he planned to re-enact the student killings.Homestead Police then searched the home Wong shares with his parents and found the weapons stacked on shelves, Detective Antonio Aquino said. Wong was said to have 13 firearms in all and more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition, some of which could pierce armour...

Someone is slipping up big time
Fox News said the suspect claimed to a firearms dealer and shown not to be the case.
you forgot “gunshow loophole” . Can’t forget that.
Another person who’s criminally insane out on bail.
Give him some meds and he won’t even need to be observed. < /sarc >
They did include the loophole, but this time it is that you can apparently buy guns over the internet and go around dealers and gun shows. Hey, the police chief says so, it must be true. Chief says this case will be the time we finally have a national talk about the availability of guns in this country.
I know of no 7.62round that can take out a tank unless you count shooting the driver.
I saw the Fox News segment also. I had to chuckle at the last part about "100-round feeding clip designed to bring down planes"
I'm not an expert on ammo and how clips are designed for what purposes, but I highly doubt that clip was designed to shot down planes
Why?
Dont try to inject reality when an antigunner is on a roll.
Not only will a single AP round take out a tank at a range of over one mile, they’ll make refineries and LNG storage tanks explode with twelve times the force of Hiroshima.
There are a lot of people out there that don't know any better, and they will be horrified to think that you can buy such tank and plane killers.
Just like all the hype about the empty grenade launcher tube cops found elsewhere in Florida. They didn't have any grenades for it. There haven't been any grenades for it since WWII. But the cops were ecstatic.
If Megyn Kelly Fox babe says it true, it must be
Would she lie to us, and even if she did, would you care ?
Did he have a shark armed with a laser too?
Right on his frickin’ head, it was.
I wonder if the internet post was real or faked.
It’s not uncommon for “an anonymous tip” to be called into the dispacther by a patrolman using a pay phone. Then the car gets sent to “investigate” the tip, so it’s never known that he primary data was collected illegally.
Of course for this guy even if the internet evidence is not real, he wil never get his arsenal with the Flight 800 Assault Rifle back.
“armor-piercing rounds (assuming 7.62x39 steel-core commie) that “can take out a military tank” and a “100-round feeding clip designed to bring down planes”.
Sounds like a belt fed 50 cal. (except for taking out tanks)
Focus on the guns, availability of guns, availability of ammo, imaginary destructive power. Where did he get the guns? HOW did he get the guns? My God, 5000 rounds of ammo is more than a journalist can picture...it must take a super Wal-Mart to hold that much. How did we allow these purchases to happen? AK-47s! They are much more powerful than any other gun, you know, and they spray bullets, bringing down planes and tanks. The cops are outgunned. Drag out the tired old antigun police chief. Gotta do something. Do something before it's too late.
Good grief, the problem here is that a teenager was angry and made a threat. Where is the journalistic frenzy over teenage angst? Dark teenage web sites?
What is most worrisome is that if this teenager's gun collection itself becomes defined as psychotic and abnormal, instead of the person himself, and the mere possession of a few rifles and rounds becomes probable cause for arrest, who among us will not be in trouble?
chief needs to meet a flagpole...
I’m surprised they didn’t add cop killing bullets to this story as well.
