Police who went there discovered 26 handguns, eight rifles, two shotguns, two stun guns and about 4,000 rounds of ammunition. Some of the guns, police said, were years old or replicas.

*yawn* Some "cache"... Doesn't even have any assault rifles or explosives.

"Tis best not to mess with me family!"

As a NY lawyer myself, you have more to fear from the police than you do the average criminal. I am a true conservative and have seen many people like this get treated worse than dirt.

[Jasper]

This is a classic case of "blue-state psychosis".
I feel sorry for the guy.

What Warp in the Time and Space Continuum did these cops enter that allowed them to look in his car and see his gun collection at home???

[coloradan]

Does it bother anyone that the new secretary of homeland defense is the former NY city police commissioner? I wonder if he comes with a whole lot of anti-gun baggage. I would expect so.

[pbear8]

You beat me to it.

[Fiddlstix]

Jeez! Gimme a break. This goes beyond the ridiculous.

[Sonar5]

They put his address in to tell the burglers where to rob next since he has no way to protect his family form them now.

And why is Chicago have so many murders by guns?

[Havoc]

That's how propaganda works. You got to play it up like they did something monumental by depriving him his constitutional rights.

" . . . these guns can cause very serious injury or death to someone on the street"

Boy, I know how that is. It's tough enough navigating through my driveway with all the kid's toys laying around. How much more dangerous it would be having to weave around all those guns laying in the streets.

[skinkinthegrass]

Yeah. And how the druggie/thugs knows the house/families are defenseless, if they (the families) are robbed/killed, is the media going to scream about the harm they are doing.?..are the media whores going to apologized?.."if it bleed, it leads."

[edchambers]

I'm disgusted the state was able to basically rob this man of his private property for no justifiable reason.Every time I think CA is the worst all I need to do is be reminded of NY.s draconian gun laws.

[edchambers]

(Maloney -- dressed in military fatigues,)

Nothing wrong with that, when I got out I literally wore out the rest of my BDUs they're good work clothes, they were designed to be.Plus the little woman thinks I look sexy in them, hmmm maybe a trip to the surplus store is in order.

[Sarajevo]

Ditto. Nothing more than Facsists.

In the South, that's only a beginers arsenal. Handgun count isn't bad, but don't see how folks up north get by with only eight rifles and two shotguns per family. :)

Stand by. "Dirty" Don Perata will be president pro tem. of the state senate for the next two-year session (assuming he escapes indictment).

You can bet that he'll have a long list of gun control bills lined up, and don't count on Arnold to veto 'em, either.

"...these guns can cause very serious injury or death to someone on the street."

Isn't that the point? I bought my guns with the very intent of inflicting very serious injury or death to any criminals, terrorists, or blue helmets that threaten me.

So is there now a limit on the number of guns or ammunition one can own? Only 5000 rounds? I have about 10,000 and believe that may be insufficient.
