Cops Confiscate Lakewood Lady’s Arsenal; Motive Pending
Scene Magazine ^ | Tuesday, August 30, 2011 | Kyle Swenson

Francesca Rice no longer serves in her country’s armed forces, but she brought a piece of the action back home with her.

It seems the Lakewood vet had stockpiled her Edgewater Towers condo with a home arsenal including handguns, shotguns, a sniper rifle — plus a Thompson sub-machine gun, just in case the pizza guy got fresh.

Her cache somehow caught the attention of Lakewood Police, who paid a visit last September. When they found Rice wasn’t home, they asked an obliging employee of the complex to open up the apartment without her consent. Once inside, they raided the gun rack, making off with 13 firearms worth around $15,000. The only problem: They had no apparent reason to.

You want to see Obama’s America? Just imagine a government boot on the neck and a gun to the head of every citizen.

They have probably sold their illegally obtained weapons.

Wasn’t this stealing?

What is the difference between a common thief doing this and what was done here besides them having the ‘Police power of government’?

Totally outrageous.

Never make the assumption that she doesn’t have the paperwork. I know quite a few females that own more legal NFA than most men. I know one that spent tens of thousands of dollars in NFA transfer taxes in one year on her hobby.

Uh..yeah. I seriously doubt that L'il Miss had an FTL and the proper paperwork to own a Thompson.

Perhaps you might want to check up on the laws.

A full-auto Thompson qualifies as a Curio and Relic. You only need a C&R license to get one shipped directly to your house. The license is cheap as well. Check this link for details of the C&R program as well as a list of eligible C&R weapons.

Where is the lawsuit againt all that ROGUE PORK? Both the government entity, and the individuals personally, for grand larceny, deprivation of civil rights, and official oppression? This is one more reason why all REAL Americans must now put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!! Remember that America wasn’t won with a registered gun!

What's an FTL?

There are more semi auto Thompsons on the market than full auto I bet.

Faster Than Light drive.

It is also a fat-finger typo.

I meant to type FFL.

BTW...you are the only one of a dozen responders to catch that one.

“Sounds like a small collection, less than what I have even.”

I am like you. Not much of a collection. But they would have missed my thompson as it is a violin case

That’s a pitifully lame collection.

Kinda harsh, don't ya think?

I wish more Americans had such a "lame collection".
