No such thing. The SKS is semi-auto only.
Stone...accessorizing them with such things as bayonets...can lead to federal gun charges.
Huh? Putting a bayonet on a rifle is a federal crime?
Boy, somebody better warn Dunhams Sporting Goods. Last time I was there, they had a s*load of Yugoslavian SKS Carbines, all with bayonets, and GRENADE LAUNCHERS!!!
The SKS with Grenade Launcher - when you want to get the whole herd. Now, at Dunham's.
depends on the state for the bayonette. unless he's got that silencer registered, that would be violation of NFA. unless its one of the million flash hiders that are made to LOOK like a "silencer"- which if he bought it off the internet, it probably is a fake.
The guns pulled from the home included an AK-47, a 12-gauge shotgun, two military style AR-15s, an Uzi-like M-11 and a Russian SKS assault rifle. Police also found other pistols and revolvers.
Geee... I'm thinking that's about what I usually have in the trunk of my car when I make a trip to to the range.
Yea, but the guy said it could lead to federal charges, not state.
"All the guns can be possessed legally, Stone said, but altering them or accessorizing them with such things as bayonets or silencers can lead to federal gun charges."
The guns pulled from the home included an AK-47, a 12-gauge shotgun, two military style AR-15s, an Uzi-like M-11 and a Russian SKS assault rifle. Police also found other pistols and revolvers.
This guy is obviously a maniac and should be hanged.

I'm sure there are members of this forum who own more hardware than this guy.
I'm not condoning his behavior, and shooting at a cop is always going to get you in trouble. But his little collection is really not that big a deal, IMHO.
They did note that he was taking antidepressant medications at the end of the article. That should be a big red flag right there!
FYI - This article would seem to provide some more fuel for our earlier discussion
yeah that's what i meant, depends on state law, not federal for bayonette. sorry, shoulda worded that better.
i was trying to say that it sounded like the only federal law he really *might* have violated is over the silencer.. IF its a real silencer.
I doubt it, Wheeling is Cook County. That's a Cook County Courthouse in Rolling Meadows. Cook County bans these guns. Also, the fed assault rifle ban expired. There's no problem with bayonet lugs, pistol grips ect... anymore.
I should HOPE so - this is a pretty feeble collection
a gas mask, a ballistic helmet
Obviously an evil person - sound like a survivalist to me. Last I heard owning a gas mask and ballistic helmet wasn't illegal. Typical breathless reporting by the anti-gun press trying to make something that isn't a crime sound like one.
This reporter is an idiot. I am sick to death of all the anti-gun hype these jackasses try and cram into one sentance.
It's the latest tack the grabbers are working. Trying to enact legislation everywhere to create a zone around schools so large that homeowners are in violation just by keeping firearms in the house.
No such thing. The SKS is semi-auto only.
To the Legacy MediaTM every weapon is an "assault" weapon. Hey, you can assault people with it, right?
Typical police spokesman blather about any weapon they seize. Strange how you never hear them say: "We're only dealing with his Daddy's harmless little Remington 700 in 338 Lapua, so we're glad he didn't have any weapons of war like those nasty AK-47 clones. Somebody could have been hurt..."
My SKS has a bayonet (spike) on it but I didn't alter it, it's always been on it.
Plus he's just and out and out liar. It said in the article the weapons were legal, so that lets out AK-47s because unless you have the fed tax form ak47s which are full auto aren't legal. The guy had an AKM or AKS.
Just as an aside I don't like full auto AK's anyway too much muzzle climb.
Anit-gun wackjob alert!!
This reporter is an idiot a deliberate liar.
