HAVERHILL — Keni Garcia told police he intended to use the 30,000 bullets they found in his car and home for target practice.
That is hard to believe, the prosecutor at Garcia's arraignment said, because if he were to fire a gun for eight hours a day, it would take weeks for him to use all of it.
Garcia, who allegedly bought thousands of rounds of ammunition and had 10,000 bullets in his car when he was stopped by police Thursday, was ordered held on $500,000 cash bail yesterday.
I’m not sure, but I think that I am fairly close to this number.
Ammunition hoarder!!!
Well, it’s a good start.
Exactly what crime is he accused of?
What’s the crime for which he’s being required to post this half a million in bond?
Practice makes perfect.
“What’s the crime for which he’s being required to post this half a million in bond?”
He lives in Massachusetts.
Is it illegal to have that much ammo?
If not, this is blasphemy.
What grounds do police have to arrest someone collecting a perfectly legal product?
Why was he stopped—and what do they imagine he was going to do with the ammo, besides shoot it up?
Is there a limit to how much ammo you can legally have?
Does the average SEAL team fire that much in a year?
They think he is buying the ammunition to bring it to the Dominican Republic to sell it. Other than that, I don’t know.
If there is not something more to this story this is outrageous.
Only corrupt governments fear armed law abiding citizens...oh, this is Massachusetts.
Nevermind.
sagging springs....
WTF?! A half mil for owning alot of ammo? Methinks there’s more to this.
I think I must have that much in various .22 rimfire alone. Actually over 90% of my ammo is .22. Nearly all of the .22LR fit into a single .50 cal ammo can. It is so heavy I can’t lift it. I am in the process of moving and had to have two teenage boys lift it.
I clicked the link and read the story. Apparently they think he was sending this stuff out of the country, had more than one driver’s license and was not a citizen.
