Baltimore police said yesterday they raided an East Baltimore clothing store allegedly used as a front for the illegal sale of high-powered weapons and accessories, including assault rifles, shotguns, handguns, ammunition and body armor.
Organized-crime detectives raided the store, Moon Wear in the 2400 block of Greenmount Ave. on Thursday, about 15 hours after its owner, Andre Mills, 33, was pulled over on a traffic stop, police said. During the stop, officers said they discovered ammunition for high-powered rifles.
Police obtained a warrant and searched the store, recovering one Bushmaster assault rifle, three handguns, a Mossberg shotgun equipped with a sidewinder drum magazine and laser sight, 34 handgun magazines, five holsters, 100 boxes of shotgun shells and about 1,000 rounds of ammunition, including rounds used in AK-47 assault rifles. Police also recovered $1,200 in cash.
"We do believe [the suspect] was trafficking firearms" from the store, said Anthony Barksdale, acting chief of the department's organized crime division. "It looks like we got quite a bit of weapons, but some might be on the street."

Of course not, assuming you mean something a Barrett. I do support a "ban" on Osamma's friends sitting in front of my house with a fully automattic M2 .50 heavy machine gun.
I suppose I should at least be thankful that you are back on topic. :-)
1,000 rounds of ammo...and in a clothing store...God forbid.... Our founders never approved of ammo in a clothing store.....right?
Hell, this would put most of us Texans in jail in Mary-Land. Why would any family have less than a thousand rounds....that is the minimum discount purchase.... Damn commies...
How do you determine who is "Osama's friend"? The 9-11 terrorists had no criminal records whatsoever. We must err on the side of liberty when it comes to this.
Let 'em park a Jeep with dual .50's on it down the street. If I've got a Browning .30 cal, a Lahti 20mm, or a 3" Parrot rifle breach loader in my garage, I'm not gonna worry a whole lot about them cutting up rough. If only one or two others in my neighborhood are "allowed" by government to be similarly equiped, the terrorists would need a small army to do anything other than die.
From where, the cash register?
bushmaster.. check! got a rock river, but equivalent
3 handguns.. check! just got number 4 a few weeks ago
mossberg shotty.. check! remmington 870 here. also got a stevens double.
34 handgun mags.. not quite, i'm somewhere in the 20s if i count speed loaders for my revolvers. got a whole bunch of AR mags.
then i have high power rifles (.30-06, .303 brit)
varmint rifle (.223)
.22lr rifle
evil .50 cal (heh.. muzzle loader)
have a red dot on my shotgun.
5 holsters
a box of over 1000 shot gun shells
and if i don't have at least 5,000 rounds of ammo i'd be surprized.
and i'm a lot younger than this guy.
GOOD START!!! Keep up the good work.........
