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.

That’s Old Testament right There!

The people inheriting the guns are “not particularly political” but they send out their attorney to make a purely political statement about weapons, deaths, and lobbying groups.

So my guess is that these do-gooders...cough, cough...have a BIG DEM connection

I read that line and for a moment thought you had typed "BIG DUMB connection".

. Oh wait, you did. ;)

My response to them: Go ahead, it’s a free country....THANKS TO GUNS!

People that inherit are typically dumb and waste their inheritance in one generation.

"They want these instruments of death to be destroyed," Brookman said. "They don’t want these weapons out on the street."

They should just give them to me. As God is my witness, they would never ever be left lay out on the street.

250k in cash ? I'm surprised the leos or feds haven't already confiscated it.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

plan to destroy the weapons "to send a message,"

The message being "We're stupid."

[sport]

Me either. Jesus said, “The poor you will have with you always”. He could have added, Fools will be in abundance among you always.

Estate has to be over $5 Mill. Tax is on anything over that.

[headstamp 2]

The idiots still have to pay the inheritance tax on them.

[Sacajaweau]

First of all the guy died a year ago. The Dems pulled this out of their arse as part of their....what good people do...give up their guns.

Tell that to our forefathers.

-- Estate has to be over $5 Mill. Tax is on anything over that. --

More precisely, something like $5.45 million. Man, that threshold has really increased in the past 20 years. When I had to deal with an estate, the threshold was a bit more than half a million dollars.

Think EU. Cain’t fix stoopid.

[wally_bert]

It’s an excellent one and happens all too often.

[rktman]

Nah. They should crush those hogs to help save muver erf. They’re stoopider than I thought.

[mountn man]

I’m sure Nobama is pissed about it.

[null and void]

Easily enough to re-supply all many of the FReepers who've lost their in boating accidents. Heh.

[fella]

I’ll bet that California’s unconstitutional gun laws have a lot to do with this. The paperwork to transfer each weapon must run into big bucks. Putting a PC face on it will hopefully keep the prosecutors off of their backs.
