This is the terrifying collection of nearly 500 guns and 200,000 rounds of ammunition which was seized from a parish council chairman who collected firearms 'like stamps'. Police revealed the full extent of their discovery at the home of crane operator James Arnold in Wyverstone, Suffolk. It is the biggest arsenal of illegal weapons ever found in the UK. Three months after the discovery and the 49-year-old's arrest in April 2014, Arnold died of pancreatic cancer, meaning he could never face prosecution. But as firearms dealer Anthony Buckland, 65, was jailed for at Norwich Crown Court for supplying some of the weapons, Suffolk Police opened up its armoury to journalists to highlight the massive scale of the find.

and yet, with all those firearms, and ammo, he never hurt anyone. Hmmmmm...
Well, they do have a history of digging ‘em up and putting the corpses on trial...
I wasn’t terrified at all. Maybe there is something wrong with me.
“Terrifying” = IMPRESSIVE!
More (probably far more) than 11 million illegals in our country are a good thing and “diversity”, but 500 firearms are terrifying? Liberals are stupid, and they are sissies (okay, elsewhere on the gender spectrum).
Not to be pedantic, but it’s Minie ball.

That's awfully reassuring to a reader concerned about such a thing. It has, after all, been done before.
My luck, he'd end up being my cellmate.
I am drooling..
Second. They had no cause to visit but decided to revoke his licenses to prevent domestic attacks. And liberals wonder why we don’t want registration?
Three. All spent shells and bullets. Heck, it even looks like some old Miniet balls in that oile of lead. No primers or reloading equipment or powder.
Four he obviously had connections to a military dealer. Someone else is going down.
Yep, you’re right. The French guy.
What is so terrifying about 500 guns? I’ll bet he could not hold and shoot off more than two at one time.
They are no longer taking comments - too bad.

The UK did not do away with self defence. Or gun ownership.
I agree that there have been some bad gun laws.
No, the Brits who write articles are.
Wrong, and this has been corrected many times here.
The British have been citizens since January 1st, 1949. Thanks to the 1948 Nationality Act.
The monarch is a figurehead and holds no actual power. Thanks to Parliament and the Civil War.
Yes.
Back in the 17th/18th C. The sort of men who rose up against Charles I and other bad British kings.
Can people in the UK keep guns in their homes or do they have to be kept at a gun club or something of that sort. That is what I have been told.
The UK has guns, plenty of em. We have bad laws re guns, but we have a 2nd. The problem is we’ve allowed it to be chipped away at due to the patchwork nature of the British Constitution.
At home. The gun club is a myth, you can keep them there if you want, but almost all like me have them in a cabinet, locked and secure but easy access.
“if you have to hide them, itâs time to use them.”...
This Canadian gets it right.
