A Queens man was busted with a stockpile of guns, ammunition and bullet proof vests inside his one-bedroom apartment, authorities said Wednesday.
Guo Shou, 33, of Rego Park, had 225 pounds of gunpowder, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, bullet-making equipment, assault rifles and several bullet proof vests, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
The arsenal was discovered when officers conducted an administrative pistol licensee review at Shou's home Monday. The officers spotted the gunpowder and some of the ammunition lying in plain sight.]

right. I fail to see what law he actually broke. If I were on a jury, they’d have a heck of a time convicting him of anything.
1) “Huge stockpile?” Hell, in Texas we call that a good start.
2) The guy is what is commonly called a “schmuck” in NYC, because you NEVER leave anything except dryer lint in plain view when any government employee enters your home. Idiot, they’d have never noticed if he closed a door or cabinet. Not, of course, that he did anything wrong, but sometimes just going the speed limit in a red Corvette is a problem.
I am SOOOOOO glad that I don’t live up there (PDRNJ) any more. I’d have likely been jailed for several dozen magazines that are “too big” according to the law of that dark and fascist state...just for starters.
Ok, I don’t see any problem with the guns or ammo, but I don’t think I want to live in an apartment next to a guy with 225 pounds of powder. I realize it would probably just flash and not go boom, but that would be a major flash. Now if he had his own place a couple hundred feet away from the next house, have at it.
"...We realize you are a reloading enthusiast, yet this volume is unacceptable for apartment/condo living due to fire risk. You may keep five pounds here, in a suitable container. The balance must be moved to a safe offsite facility within ten days. Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day..."Seeking to toss a man into prison for SEVEN YEARS for what does not even appear to be a crime is outrageous and a very police state type of action.
I agree. However I don't know what the laws in Queens say. I have enough powder to reload a couple of thousand 12 guage rounds. But my powder resides in a building outside my home. I'm just saying I don't want 250 pounds of powder in the room next to me. I'm so 2nd amendment you wouldn't believe it. But we have to understand our rights don't supersede the rights of others.
I’ve lost more in a hurricane.
Just another day in the Soviet Northeast. Nothing to see here, comrades.
Unlikely.
"Assault rifles" are not licensable in NYC.
Perhaps I interpreted the article incorrectly:
All told, cops seized: 14 licensed handguns, which were not properly secured in a safe; two loaded licensed shotguns; one licensed rifle; approximately 45,000 rounds of ammunition for multiple weapons; two Kevlar body armor vests; and six Kevlar armor plates.
I know where he got his arms and ammunition.
From his friend Gun Shou.
The apartment itself becomes the containment vessel, and the flash just might take out windows, or more.
225 lbs is a lot of powder, even if it isn't FFg.
