"AK-47 rifles, an Uzi 9 millimeter submachine gun, a TEC-9 submachine gun, a 40 millimeter ordnance launcher, a handheld ordnance launcher, and about 500 rounds of ammunition."

A large weapons cache?? lol

I have more hardware than this in my house, but I don't have the ordnance launcher. I wouldn't mine having one though. Another thing I find to be hilarious is the "Tech-9 submachine gun" LOL there is no such thing, unless he had his modified. I also wouldn't be a bit surprised if that "ordnance launcher" is a fake made to fire shotgun shells.

A man from Maine is at large? Is he is Islamic descent as well???

Well, if I had to lay down $10 on a bet with a Las Vegas betting
line...
I'd guess a Somali Muslim from Lewiston, ME area.

It would only make sense as NO good deed (i.e., letting in an
"oppressed refugee" from an Islamic Hell-Hole of a country),
will go unpunished.

Just with same certitude that the night follows the day.

Chertoff, he must have been a mortician in a former self-portrait.

A Tec 9(shows bad judgment in quality of weapons)

A bigger indicator of bad judgment is that he knew the maintenance man was coming to fix the plumbing and he left his Cache out where it could be seen.

I am not a terrorist and if I know that someone who is not a close friend is coming to my house my firearms are well out of sight.

It does not pay to display your weapons to the casual acquaintance. If word gets around that you have a sizable collection it makes you a target for a burglary.

...a handheld ordnance launcher...

My inexpert guess is that is either:
1. law enforcement soft-peddling so the public doesn't panic
OR
2. MSM sanitization of the term for...

...RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade)

Oh big deal.

To the media, a hundred rounds of 9mm is a “LARGE WEAPONS CACHE”.

I just remember how much respect I had for him during the Clinton Impeachment. He seemed so...informed and brilliant. But so did Lindsay Graham. Those are two of the biggest disappointments to have ever come down the pike.

What is most assuredly allowed (according to our Constitution) for U.S. CITIZENS needn’t necessarily be allowed for foreigners, even less so for someone with a history like this guy’s.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I have more than that in my cellar. The ammo, that is, not the grenade launchers.

I wonder if this story is connected to the “lesbian Muslim terrorists” standoff in Texas that was posted here earlier?

Yes, F15Eagle posted that question as well; there quite a number of them here now and they likely have quite a network. But I tell you, those women (lesbian terrorists) wreaked of evil.

What constitutes a “Large Weapons Cache” to the media, two pistols and a rifle?

Damn, they'd say we have an armory.

That’s about the minimum every American should have on hand to support their role as militiamen.

The 2nd Amendment is about more than self-defense and has nothing at all to do with hunting. It is about having a well-armed citizenry to defend against invasion from outside and tyranny from the inside.

Maybe weapons should be licensed, but if so, the records should be encrypted and require a probable cause warrant to access them. Otherwise it is too easy for a tyrant to know who is armed.

Yes you are correct. I had forgotten that. It has to be considered an emergency to prevent damage.

They (a good land lord) will usually try to contact you first before going in.

“A couple of those would not be suitable for either ordinary self defense or hunting. A grenade launcher! No mention of 40mm ordnance.”

I’m not so sure about that have you seen the size of some of the wild hogs around here?
