(Mamaroneck, N.Y.) Police say they found a cache of weapons and bomb-making materials at a Westchester County apartment last night.

Police executed a search warrant at the apartment of 27-year-old Aaron John Gilbridge in Mamaroneck (muh-MARE-uh-neck). They uncovered four loaded rifles, an Uzi, cases of ammunition, brass knuckles, gravity knives, daggers, a clay compound similar to C-4 explosive, and a mock pipe bomb.

Authorities also found a book called "The Anarchist Cookbook," which argues for change in society through violence and includes bomb-making instructions.

Gilbridge could get seven years in prison if convicted of criminal possession of a weapon.

"a clay compound similar to C-4 explosive, and a mock pipe bomb. "

Oh no, modeling clay and steel pipe!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Aaron John Gilbridge// Now that is a name the press can report on with enthusiasm.

Why?

4 loaded rifles, an Uzi, cases of ammunition, brass knuckles, gravity knives, daggers, a clay compound similar to C-4 explosive, and a mock pipe bomb.

Rifles. A semiauto Uzi. knives. CLAY for G-ds sake. A length of pipe.

OH THE HORRORS!

NY is really freaky on weapons, or anything you could perceive MIGHT be a weapon.

What's a gravity knife? Sounds very futuristic.

[agitator]

Reporters that write useless articles like this should be declared incompetent and put away.

[Frank_Discussion]

They fall when you drop them? Hmmm?

[Lazamataz]

Oh no, modeling clay and steel pipe!?!?!?!?!?!?!

And look at how the press reports it: "a clay compound similar to C-4 explosive".

Oh? How was it similar?

"Well, it had the same color."

Effing morons. No, not morons: Effing purposeful LIARS.

There are people that own guns in Westchester (hunters). But I have this feeling that the Feds were watching this guy's computer and decided to make a bust.

What's a gravity knife?

Hold the handle up, press a button, and the blade comes down. $10.00 at your local sports shop. Probably cheaper on the net.

[Billthedrill]

Yep. And a book written in 1968. This isn't even yawning material.

[Charles Martel]

Ah, kind of like a switchblade, but designed to eliminate the spring mechanism.

[Lazamataz]

What's a gravity knife? Sounds very futuristic.

Any locking blade that can be opened via centripedal force (e.g., flicking your wrist).

They got some survivalists cache. Of course this will add to the general terrorist, hand-wringing frenzy in the press. If they want to uncover a whole bunch of terrorist weapons they should try the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee or maybe the Arapaho National Forest here in Colorado or maybe .... The point being that with the current attitude of the government towards it citizens and the right to bear arms many people decided to bury their weapons. It's human nature to try and insure survival, unless of course, you're a hoplophobe liberal. Thirty years ago gun-owners wouldn't have thought of needing to bury their arms.

Authorities also found a book called "The Anarchist Cookbook," which argues for change in society through violence and includes bomb-making instructions.

Heck I had that book or one like it years ago.

Very serious weapon. It can cut the gravity lines which hold a person down and they just take off into the air. It's just not pretty to watch a weapons expert with such a blade.

If you had two copies, you'd be twice as dangerous.

Oh no, run for the hills. The book that had many a teenager asking mom, "Can you buy some bannanas and morning glory seeds at the grocery store this week?".
