DEVELOPING: Maryland authorities have thwarted an alleged mass shooting plot and seized an "arsenal of weapons," Fox News has learned.
WJLA-TV reports that police foiled what they believe would have been a mass shooting by an Anne Arundel County man. The station, citing police sources, said the suspect was about to get fired from his job. He was arrested in Crofton, Md., Thursday night.
A source close to the investigation confirmed the report to Fox News, saying the "subject is emotionally disturbed." The man called up his workplace and threatened to shoot people, the source said.
When police took the man into custody, they found an "arsenal" of weapons inside his home.

“When mass shootings are performed by anyone other than a white guy, they media doesn’t show it.”
Untrue.
I’ve been shocked the last 10 years that 3 of our mass murders have been: blacks (yes, also Moslem, and I think a bit faggy), oriental(!!!!!), and Moslem (not their typical MO). They were definitely in the news.
But I keep guessing “white guy” and this last time, I was right again.

“I wonder what they consider an arsenal?”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If you have sufficient guns and ammo to kill, “A mess o’ squirrels” for supper they will call it an arsenal. Two handguns, a rifle and a shotgun with a grand total of 200 rounds of ammo constitute a “major arsenal”. Anything more than that is considered proof of insanity.
Actually it is possible to fire two weapons at once, even two rifles or shotguns. I see two as the practical limit or impractical but possible, depending on how you view it. I am sure I could handle a couple of Marlin .22 semiauto rifles at once and could actually hit something at short range. Two revolvers or pistols are quite doable, at short range I could possible hit a beer can with my right hand and a semi truck with my left hand.
In Wal-Mart today I noticed a .177 pellet rifle with an advertised muzzle velocity of 1300 feet per second. That is comparable to some of the hyper velocity .22 rounds. I wouldn’t want to get hit with one of those.
Your point?
Those are both examples of what my late father referred to as “Hellion guns”. He used to frequently refer to his but never actually produced it for me to see.
Just a comment, I had not seen one with that high a muzzle velocity before. A couple of those would definitely be called an arsenal by the lamestream media.
An assault rifle for sure!
My Dad said something like that but it was to me and my two brothers that he said to us”you younguns are Hellions”
Have a great day!

Would you believe...
We have a Remington .177 air rifle that comes up on the chronometer with a muzzle speed of 2100fps which is not unusual with the better air rifles. I think Beeman makes a match grade .177 that is close to 2500fps.
