A Massachusetts man is under arrest for the stash of guns police found in his possession.

Authorities took Gregory Girard, 45, into custody Wednesday afternoon on weapons charges after apparently finding dozens of guns inside his Manchester-by-the-Sea home.

A judge in Salem District Court ordered Girard held for evaluation.

The arsenal included close to 20 weapons, including rifles, two handguns, two bayonet knives, flare guns, six pairs of handcuffs, as well as a pair of both kevlar vests and helmets.

Tear gas and pepper spray grenades were also allegedly discovered at Girard’s residence.

All the items were acquired by Girard within the last nine months, according to police.

“He was convinced that martial law was imminent,” said a prosecutor on Wednesday.

Kinda hard to keep this stuff from your wife. Better course of action would be to marry a woman who shares your beliefs. Religious and political.

I did. I'm happy as a clam. ;-)

My front porch is a 100yd shooting range.

I could get a hell of a lot of dogs under a porch that long.
