Two senior law enforcement officials say the three suspects are so-called “gun enthusiasts” and have no nexus to terror. There is no known threat.

Why would they have ballistics vests? Seems to be more than gun enthusiasts.

stopped for a cracked windshield.

More likely they were under suspicion before this.

The .50 cal dummy cartridge bottle opener is a nice touch as well as “Heroin Dealer”.

hmmm... “gun enthusiasts” ???

My link in Post 9: last line of article says:

The Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting in the investigation, a source familiar with the investigation tells NBC 4 New York.

Now the same link has replaced that line with this line:

“Two senior law enforcement officials say the three suspects are so-called “gun enthusiasts” and have no nexus to terror. There is no known threat.”

That’s extremely fast work on the part JTTF. Doubt we will hear any more about this incident-— down the rabbit hole.

I see no violation of law. I see it was prudent to investigate. But these folks are going home. Move on to real TERRORISM from Islam.

I Misidentified the .50 as a dog whistle. Silly me.

“Heavily armed” means they had a pocket knife. This is a NJ.

Oh, come on, you don't mention the extended magazine with the terrorist slogan ‘merica on it?

Looks like a single person's traveling collection who has a dark bit of humor to put a Breaking Bad style sticker on an ammo can (probably a gift.)

Crime: Believing that the 2nd amendment applies in NY or NJ. Punishment: Confiscation of weapons, felony conviction to ban any further ownership, loss of car, fine & a few months of jail time.

So was that 'Heroin Dealer' sign on the their car?

Well, it would be excellent advertising. I certainly wouldn't want to buy heroin from a possibly shady source.

Actually I think that’s a bottle opener. I saw one like it for sale at a gas station this past weekend.

Notice the box or case in the upper right of photo ?

Not a wise thing to be carrying along with other guns. Maybe they were going to mount it on the roof like a pizza delivery vehicle and thought it would get them through traffic faster.
