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.

Try the veal.

"We're unarmed - we surrender!"

"We're unarmed - and we has a quarter million in cash on us!"

It’s their stuff. I have no problem if they destroy it.

It's their daughter, I have no problem if they burn her alive to preserve family honor. A bit of a straw man, maybe...

We Have an Armory ?
I can donate.

[Red_Devil 232]

I wonder if they owned a couple of Pablo Picasso’s famous paintings if they would be allowed to destroy them?

[Mr. Lucky]

You don’t really see daughters as property, do you?

I don't, they do, and all cultures are equally valid doncha know???

[Mr. Lucky]

Some are more equally valid than others, it would seem.

[Williams]

Exactly. Lots of poor kids or families would be very happy to have these firearms for hunting, gun training, collections. It’s an absolute disgrace to destroy them. I don’t know how many of them are of collectible quality, but in that case there is also the problem of destroying art and history. These are very ignorant liberal jackasses.

Notice the “Heh” after that statement, in lieu of the sarcasm tag...

[Carriage Hill]

Considering it’s CA, I suspect you’re right.

[Bogey78O]

Yup.

[null and void]

Are they? Which ones??? Do I really need a </sac> tag?

bfl

[stevio]

Beautiful.

[SoFloFreeper]

And guess what, ABC: not one single gun owner cares. It is THEIR PROPERTY to do with as they wish.

[elpadre]

Their message is actually an invitation to robbers, thieves, rapists, that their place is open and ready for them to do the things those types of criminals do.
