I wonder if those who predict the coming CW-II will be coming to this guy's aid? Or maybe they can't get the time off work..........
“A staggering 110 weapons”
They must have been really loaded.
The Thompson appears to be the modern 16” barrel semi auto.
"...Or maybe can’t get the time off work..."
FWIW, I’m not sure I would call the arrest of Mr. Drabman an “obvious abuse of power,” at least at this point in time. And it seems to be a stretch, to suggest that such an arrest has any potential to spark a civil war. On the other hand, Mr. Lincoln considered Southern threats to secede to be nothing more than yammering & silly nonsense, and that peculiar blindness actually helped precipitate the costliest war in American history...
Can’t be sure from the photo, but the Thompson barrel is pretty long. It might be a 16” barrel semi-auto version that is legal in most places. I believe the classic fully-auto guns had 12” barrels, thus making them two-fers under the NFA; machine guns and short-barreled rifles.
If only we had federal preemption of firearms laws, or maybe a constitutional amendment that would do away with this patchwork of local laws! {/s}
Look at all the proud little quislings.
Wonder what became of Charlton Heston’s collection after he passed?
Anyway, not an NFA or illegal looking gun in that stash. Too bad they’ll all be destroyed, no, purloined into those grinning police officials’ private collections. They’re not that stupid.
Looks like the guy is getting started on a good,-sized gun collection. I did not know about the limits on ammunition. So this guy must have really shot something up, huh? Is there actually anything illegal about his collection?
They’re evil, dishonest, and hypocritical, not stupid
I would agree with you. The question I am raising is what would it take for all the tough talking bravados to take up arms in a 2nd civil war?
My contention is nothing. They've got too much tied up in their jobs, their mortgages, their car payments and their kid's weekend soccer practice............
Nobody flocked to Klamath Falls to help the farmers with their fight against the federal govt. on water rights.
Nobody flocked to help Ammon Bundy in his standoff against the BLM, and nobody rose up in protest against the killing of LaVoy Finicum as a result of that standoff.........
IOW, there ain't gonna be no second civil war...........
From what I’ve read of the article, it appears to be illegal to own guns and ammo in Queens, NewYork. Did they miss that whole revolution thing?
You might take another look. 1st photo, firearms on the floor, 2nd column from the left: 3 or 4 possible SBRs, which I'm guessing are unlikely to have received approval in NY...
...although the one with the forward grip might be an AOW, rather than SBR...
No, the Colt LMG was a super heavy barreled variant with a belt fed upper configuration and a squared handguard, but yes, plus a bipod located below the front sight assembly.
Added:
It is the left most AR type rifle on the table showing two ARs on bipods plus others lying on their side. It also has an FNAL looking carry handle to the left of the handguard.
from the picture, it simply looks like a semi-auto AR with the heavy bbl and handguard config.
"...ain’t gonna be no second civil war..."
Maybe SBR’s, but apparently no full autos. How did the po-po know about this stash? Snitch hotline? 4473’s? Liberal neighbor?
Anyway, in my small Southern state we have a word to describe this collector: “piker”.
Is the ar15 in the 3rd pic in front of the ar15 with the bipod illegal? (Well I guess every gun is illegal in NY.) I thought they would have to be registered as a pistol? It is a very short barrel. Only some states or all?
