CLEVELAND -- Police have confiscated 80 firearms of various calibers and 874 boxes of ammunition found at a homeless shelter in Cleveland.
A police report says the items were taken from St. Herman's House of Hospitality last week "in connection with a crisis intervention." Sgt. Sammy Morris says the investigation continues. No other information was available.

What the hell was the Councilman expecting?? The guns to all of a sudden jump up on their own and start shooting people??? F**king IDIOT!
America! It's about
They probably NEEDED the guns, in THAT neighborhood!
On what legal grounds can they confiscate everyday firearms from PRIVATE PROPERTY??
Removing the tin foil for a moment. I wonder if this is one of many caches set aside for the revolution the Left seems to want.
Since when is it illegal for homeless folks to defend themselves?
If they posted the guns and ammo for sale on gunbroker, they could raise money for the shelter.
No, that’s too easy....
Obviously, some “homeless” folks are prioritizing. :)
Actually, I suspect that the guns were there for some other purpose other than some poor homeless folks protecting themselves. Maybe just robbery. Maybe something bigger.
Here’s where the link in that article goes:
It appears to be a Greek Orthodox Monastery.
I don’t know anything about this place, but I suspect that it’s a real, charitable homeless shelter.
Couldn’t it be that they have persuaded some of their guests over the years to turn from lives of crime and give up their guns? That seems likelier than suspecting them of terrorism.
I hate aholes that think the guy in the single wide should not be afforded the same rights as the guy on the hill.
Or, alternatively, it could be that some of these “homeless” people are criminals who are taking advantage of the good Fathers’ hospitality.
It could mean a lot of things, but you don’t just seize property on a “feeling”
You know, you aren't alone in thinking that. I know the neighborhood, and it's not great. And there are a ton of left-wing morons in Cleveland. I mean, they keep electing Dennis Kucinich to the house even knowing that the idiot ran Cleveland into default when he was mayor.
No, my friend, that is only a good start.

That was my first thought.
It’ll be a miracle if America survives this kind of thinking.

What, the homeless aren’t allowed to defend themselves? Next it’ll be the rest of us... oh, never mind.

But that is the basic mentality of most of the leadership at NRA.
This story stinks to high heaven.
