Family members set to inherit a stockpile of guns and ammunition, worth millions of dollars, plan to destroy the weapons "to send a message," their attorney Daniel Brookman told ABC News today.
"They want these instruments of death to be destroyed," Brookman said. "They don’t want these weapons out on the street."
Jeffrey A. Lash, of Pacific Palisades, California, died last summer of natural causes, but left behind a stockpile of more than 1,500 guns, 6.5 tons of ammunition and nearly $250,000 in cash, according to local ABC-owned station KABC-TV. All of the purchases were legally made, KABC reported.

Easily enough to re-supply all of the FReepers who've lost their in boating accidents. Heh.
"We're unarmed - we surrender!"
It’s their stuff. I have no problem if they destroy it.
Well shouldn’t those deranged family members also forfeit that $250,000 as well? Why would they want to taint their lily white liberal hands with money from a *GASP* gun owner and collector?
Fools. All of them.
“I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me, and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.” - Ecclesiastes 2:18-19
We're idiots who do not understand why our founding fathers bestowed the right to protect ourselves in our Constitution. Must be Democrats, or RINO's.
They probably will! Inheritence and gift tax will be assessed on the value of the inheritence, BEFORE they destroy it.
It’s their stuff...yes. Wonder if they are going to ! Story the cash too?
Did they inherit stupidity too?
It’s a shame they didn’t inherit any common sense.
These clowns aren’t deserving of inheriting even a dime.
The message has been received loud and clear: they are ignorant, brainwashed, disrespectful and wasteful idiots.
Good, the estate is so large they probably will have to include the FMV of the guns and ammo in the oeverall evaluation of the estate. Pay the inheritance tax suckers and use sling shots to fend off those who come to pick off your inherited remnants. BTW, probably a good number of those firearms could not be legally transferred in Cal due to their restrictive gun laws. What a bunch of jackasses.
This is what happens when good, hard-working American parents accumulate some money and send their children to Leftist universities. When they die, their clueless children blow the money and pull stunts such as this. He should have left everything he had to the NRA or a worthy charity.
Also completely totally meaningless in big picture
I bet in South Central L.A. there are at least 1,500 weapons, a large percentage illegally owned...
Yeah, the article doesn’t cite the message they want to send.
“We’re extravagant and want to whimsically destroy resources “?
“We have no respect for history”?
“We wouldn’t know how to run a business if our lives depended on it”?
“We have no idea how any of this works”?
I sincerely doubt that Jeffrey A. Lash knew that his heirs were all sh!t-for-brains, grandstanding libtards.
Gee, I better check my will closely...don’t want to make the headlines when I cash in.
Yes and that message is, "We're really stupid left wing liberal moonbats." I wonder just who they're sending the message to and I also wonder if they're planning on destroying the cash too.
Excellent! Now they will have far less money to give to radical causes.
“.......left behind a stockpile of more than 1,500 guns, 6.5 tons of ammunition and nearly $250,000 in cash,”..........
Personally, I could care less what they do with the guns and ammo but I’d bet the family does NOT BURN the $250,000 in cash.
