Queens (NY) 'Gun Nut' Busted
NY Post ^ | 9/1/2012 | Kirstan Conley

Posted on 09/01/2012 4:31:49 PM PDT by thefactor

An Astoria, Queens, resident with an arsenal of weapons — including handguns, high-capacity rifle magazines, 10,000 rounds of ammo and 32 machetes — was busted yesterday, cops said.

Michael Millazzo, 53, was taken into custody after cops broke down his door at 6:30 a.m. They initially were called to the address on Sunday over reports that someone was firing shots into the air.

Cops identified the alleged gun hoarder through video surveillance, which led them to his apartment, where they found his weapons.

In the stockpile, cops found 10,537 rounds of ammo, a 9mm firearm, six high-capacity rifle magazines, a .40-caliber Glock, 60 knives, 16 air pistols and seven tasers.

Ok, I'm only posting this so you all can say, "That's not an arsenal!"

Haha. Really though, evidently this guy is a nut. His neighbors were waiting for him to snap. But 16 air rifles and a couple of pistols and knives? Come on. I guess that constitutes and arsenal in NYC.

I must admit, the 32 machetes worries me a little.....

The guy is definitely out of balance:

He's way heavy on machetes and far too light on the ammo.

I like the writer. From the picture, this guy’s got about a dozen handguns, but the writer only mentions the .40 Glock.

Hell, I have more than that in my pickup.

If you want to add in the house and storage, I guess I would be a one-man aggressor nation by those standards.

I’m pretty sure that a machete can be a very, very effective instrument of terror especially in a gun free zone like NYC. He may have been holding onto them for the local homies for all we know.

Perhaps we should register machetes. Can have machete buy back programs.

New York City needs to be declared a city in insurrection and a military mayor appointed to clean out all the commies and fascists.

I’m sure the slut metrosexuals who occupy NYC won’t resist. What would they do, throw their purses? American leftists are cowards who hate us, but they don’t have the skill or guts to take us out, which is why they’re trying to recruit mohammed goat humpers and fat welfare mommas from Mexico to act as their mercenary army.

He threw in mention of the 16 air pistols just to beef up the stats.

OMG! This guy had at least 17 pistols!

Guy only had 10,000 rounds stored? He needs to be slapped real hard in the back of the head.

That’s barely enough for two months at the range, on weekends and nit enough for a month if the range has allows plinking.

He’s guilty of being unprepared for not having to share.

six high-capacity rifle magazines,

This is the most troubling part to me. I dropped a loaded 30 round mag on my toe once and it really hurt. Somebody could throw these six mags and take out an eye.
