The headline: Buried, burned, and blown up: Bomb disposal crews explode chemicals in undisclosed location after officials found 'mind-boggling' stash of ammunition in killer's lair

[Hardraade]

Six thousand is just about the number in the boxes I use as bookends..

[EGPWS]

6,000 rounds is a "mind boggling stash of ammo" ???

It is amazingly well past time to replenish the stock!

This is funny. FReepers are all panicked because they think the left is making this about "gun control", and so what do they do? Make every thread about "gun control", seeing in every sentence and hearing in every utterance subliminal "gun control" brainwashing.

If there were a larger story - and there is - it goes unnoticed. Until Rush tells them what it is.

THIS is mind boggling.....and kinda turns me on a little.

1K rounds of the Prvi Partizan 5.56mm, the way they tightly box it, and package it in Serbia for case shipping, makes for a handy and easily manageable shipping box.

You can fit all 5 200 round plastic sleeved (10 boxes of 20 each) into a .50 cal ammo can.

Six of those will not take up that much space in a closet...really no big deal.

Nothing mind-boggling about it.

Sorry, link truncates. Do a 22lr ammo search and click on the 5000 option. It is $195 for 5,000 rounds.

I would recommend slow ahead, on comments like that....some may see, posting on FR, as “odd behavior”

I wasn't suggesting...or even implying...any such thing.I'm a fairly prolific poster here I'm certainly not "odd".

Well,at least not *very* odd ;-)

[Gay State Conservative]

I'm not odd but I certainly make a lot of typos.

(Damn!)

[Trailerpark Badass]

I have at least 30K rounds in my basement, takes up less than probably 36 sq ft, stacked 4 ft high.

You probably wouldn't want to know what I have in my storage unit. I knew $139 cases of FMP and Hirtenberger 308 probably wouldn't come around again anytime soon.

[MasterGunner01]

High powered = military assault rifle? I don't think so, Skippy. High powered Main Battle Rifle [e.g.: M1, M14, 98k Mauser, Lee-Enfleld, G3, Springfield] = absolutely.

Brits who write this drivel know as much about guns and ammo as they do about fornicating with heterosexuals. [No sex, please, we're British.]

[TribalPrincess2U]

How many rounds did our government order recently?

[bandleader]

I’m with you on this”mind-boggling”stash of ammo.The way things are going in this country,6,000 rounds isn’t”mind-boggling”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6,000 rounds is a "mind boggling stash of ammo" ???

Some peoples' minds are easily boggled.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Did you read the whole article? A lot of good info, interviews, pics, etc.. Yeah, they’re screwy about the ammo, but there’s a heck of a lot more stuff in that booby-trapped apartment!

[elcid1970]

THEY ARE DESTROYING ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT MIGHT PROVE THAT
THIS CREEP DID NOT ACT ALONE!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“THEY ARE DESTROYING ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT MIGHT PROVE THAT
THIS CREEP DID NOT ACT ALONE!”

NO THEY’RE NOT! They are removing and disarming all the explosive devices in the booby-trapped apartment, so they can save evidence. Did you read the lengthy article? It’s pretty clear.

[paul51]

OK, let me get this straight . . . 6,000 rounds is a "mind boggling stash of ammo" ???

I guess that means my inventory could only be seen as stupefying

[JimC214]

The press keeps using the 6000 figure so they can make it sound like he had that much ammo on him when he attacked those people. Makes the story sound more dramatic. But in reality the most he had on him for the AR 15 was a 100 round drum. Just like everything is an AK 47 or an Assault weapon, the fact's in these stories are all agenda driven. Any one who has ever humped a rifle and pack in full body armor will tell you that ammo is heavy.

[elcid1970]

Well...it sounded as though his ammo stash was being EODd into oblivion. If the ammo was the same as anyone else can legally buy....

BTW, is this being investigated by local law enforcement, or has Holder’s DOJ weaseled their way in?

Anyway, the aftermath of this horrible massacre smacks of conspiracy, coverup, backdoor gun control, you name it.

Holmes is somebody’s torpedo or cat’s paw or hit man or fall guy. Yes, I’m that suspicious. And what’s with all the double underlined blue script lately?
