Homeless man is accused of collecting submachine guns, silencers and handguns

Richard Cunningham was homeless. But he wasn’t gun-less, police allege.

Deputies found a cache of weapons at his Harbor City encampment, including: two fully operational submachine guns, four handguns, two makeshift silencers and numerous rounds of ammunition,

It is unclear how Cunningham came to possess the arsenal.

A guy has to have a hobby!

...and? I assume he also had a stolen shopping cart too. Was he on probation and forbidden from owning firearms?

[ClearCase_guy]

The homeless guy might have made them all disappear but apparently he was also “boatless”.

Richard Cunningham!?!?!

Fort Homeless?

OK FReepers

Tell us what kind of sub-machine guns those are.

They look home-made

Don’t bet your Thanksgiving dinner on it but I think those are British Sten guns. Could be home made but probably not.

[DUMBGRUNT]

Oh My!

I guess he fell into some hard times!

"I assume he also had a stolen shopping cart too."

Wasn't it the Hildabeast that wanted to give "free" shoping carts to the homeless in NY...???

He’s going to be very popular when the zombie apocalypse hits.

Six firearms is an arsenal???

[digger48]

Thanks.

I do believe you’re right, after doing a quick search.

I’ve heard of them, but never have seen one.

Just preparing for The Traitor-in-Chief’s migrant welcoming reception.

Where does he keep a gunsafe that large?

[TigersEye]

I have only seen pics of them myself. They’re operationally very simple but they’re supposed to be pretty reliable.

Not home-made. The upper one is a British Sten gun, standard commando arm in WW II. The bottom one looks like a US-made, GI M-3 "grease gun". Both are easy-to-mass-produce squad automatic weapons intended for CQB. The M-3 was, I think, an Army weapon; I don't think I've ever heard of Marines being issued that weapon. Others will correct me if that's wrong.

I have seen Chicongo homeless with multiple carts and occasionally a wagon?

[digger48]

I have to admit, I’ve only heard of them from doing crossword puzzles.
