He was apparantly pretty bright, too.

Exactly where was he breaking the law?

[jessduntno]

“The shooting range in the Attic was his downfall.”

That depends on what they are calling a “shooting range.” I used to plink cans on a board with a BB gun and a piece of carpet in the background when I was kid...

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The article neglects to mention why the warrant was issued?

The usual “drug factory”?

[Vendome]

20 weapons? thousands of rounds of ammunition?

Soooo?....

[absolootezer0]

20 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Where's the problem?

not enough.

[Vendome]

LOL

“He was apparantly pretty bright, too.”

Yeah...that looks like it was probably him...this oughta be good.

Massachusetts and Kahlifor-eeh-yuh are not part of America

Good thing I lost all my guns and ammo in a boating accident last year.

"What the heck is an - infernal weapon?"

Could be a copy of the New York Times. lol

What is the limit on how many rounds you are allowed to possess? I’ve not heard there are any limits.

Also, never heard of limits on how many guns you could own. Just another freedom stripped from the people.

Exactly where was he breaking the law?

I've heard of cases where the police will seize 20 guns -- then, when they get back to the station and inventory those 21 guns, they'll find one that is unregistered or illegallu modified. Then you're in trouble.

This is in England.

[Liberty Valance]

Girard faces four counts of possession of an infernal device and four counts of possession of a dangerous weapon.

Everyone knows that infernal devices are the proprietary software that keeps governments alive!

[trussell]

If this is England, how would he have a permit?

[null and void]

I couldn’t find the part in the 2nd amendment where it limits the quantities of arms you can possess.

Mine says it's necessary that we be armed.

[absolootezer0]

making your own guns, bullets and gunpowder is fairly easy. getting accurate guns is a harder.. making your own primers is the tough part.

you can make an adequate muzzle loader out of whats in your house right now.

My mistake, it’s in Mass.

Manchester-by-the-Sea (also called just Manchester) is a town on Cape Ann, in Essex County, Massachusetts, in the United States.

This makes it even more insane.

Unfortunately, it happened in Massachusetts, USA. Fifteen miles further north and he would have had no problem (except perhaps for the indoor range).
