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.

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.

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

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

The message being "We're stupid."

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.

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.

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.
