How many Muzzies in his neighborhood?

I couldn’t find the part in the 2nd amendment where it limits the quantities of arms you can possess.

Gregory D. Girard, 45, was arrested Tuesday night for allegedly storing approximately 20 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

That's against the law???

Boy are a lot of us in trouble now.

[tet68]

“Mr. Girard indicated he was preparing for ‘Armageddon,’ which he felt was imminent, and he felt martial law would soon be imposed,”

Obviously he was right.

20 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition

Uh oh, I hope the gun police don't get in to my inventory.

[Red_Devil 232]

What the heck is an - infernal weapon? I guess it send you straight to hell when it is used against you!

[pgkdan]

What the hell? Is this in the US?

"storing approximately 20 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition. "

[Soothesayer]

The whole point of storing weapons is so that you can defend yourself when the gestapo come to seize your weapons.

Sounds like this guy was too soft for his own good.

four counts of possession of a dangerous weapon

Isn't that the point of a gun...to be dangerous?

[Concho]

This is in Massachusetts? United States? What is illegal about possessing as many guns as you would like? The man had no criminal record.

WTH is going on with those people?

What is an infernal weapon? This is all out of control....the rest of us had better be stocking up.

[anglian]

"faces four counts of possession of an infernal device."

[Touch Not the Cat]

20 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Where's the problem?

[ClearCase_guy]

In MA you have to be licensed (and your local police chief decides that matter for you. If he doesn't like you, or if he doesn't like guns, tough).
In addition, every gun has to be registered. I believe it's one year in jail if you have an unregistered gun.

And I think that even if you do all that right, and you completely follow the law, they can probably still take you in. Just because it's Massachusetts.

[Mr. K]

charged with "possession of an infernal device "

Consarnit!

[Cboldt]

Gregory D. Girard was arrested Tuesday night for 1] storing approximately 20 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition ... [or] 2] four counts of possession of an infernal device and four counts of possession of a dangerous weapon.

Stupid reporters can't even maintain consistency within the space of two paragraphs.

"Infernal device" is sure to draw a snicker or two. General Laws of Massachusetts - Chapter 266: Section 102A. Infernal machine; possession; definition; notice of seizure

[JenB987]

...20 weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition....

And?

In addition to the weapons and ammunition, police found a large collection of camouflage clothing, knives, bulletproof vests, helmets, and several pairs of handcuffs. They also discovered stockpiles of medicine and nonperishable foods.

So he was an avid hunter who had the money to burn on bulletproof gear, Tylenol and canned goods. Again, how is this illegal?
