ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A federal search warrant affidavit outlines the massive raid that seized nearly 1,500 firearms from the home and business of an Albuquerque man and why the feds were after him.
Last week rifles lined the lawn of a northeast Albuquerque home that belonged to Robert Adams. Homeland Security Investigations was also busy loading hundreds of handguns into boxes.
It took federal agents days to log every weapon seized into evidence.
Four search warrants filed Thursday show the HSI investigators seized nearly 900 firearms from Adams' home. There were 548 handguns and 317 rifles listed in the warrant return inventory.
They also searched his office that day taking 599 pistols and revolvers.

This bothers me too.
They don’t indicate which weapons were in this condition.
Antiques and “curios” in many cases had NO serial numbering and are NOT subject any kind of registration.
“Curios” include one of a kind and other back yard manufactured knock offs that were routine in the 18th to the late 19th C and NOT illegal.
How many Pennsylvania or Kentucky rifles have an SN? Sometimes older pieces are so holster worn, any ID that might have been there, is long gone.
Yes I know modern tech can plumb the depth of modern metal and find an SN that has been ground off. But if the piece is pre 20th C you are not going to have that high quality metal.
What brings me to this is how the media and LEO mislead and scare the genpop.
Example; I always read the screaming headlines: “HE HAD HANDGRENADES!” And just about everyone on this board knows that they probably were just those fakey paper weights that pimply faced kids buy at gun shows and love to put on their dressers to scare mom. But the headline is pushed and shoved as “really for real!” Knowing full well the genpop has no clue.
The propaganda is thick and VERY DEEP! And lies, all lies, big lies, bold lies, is how the commie pigs intend to push their deranged agenda. You can take that to the bank.
Bottom line, I’ll bet my last dollar that these so called “unmarked’ weapons are nothing more than antiques and curios. The fedgov knows that the MSM is dumber than a box of rox and completely in bed with the tyrant. Why bother to tell them the truth?
I know commie pigs, I know them inside out. They are real, they are deadly.
i guess fedgov wanted some free guns. to go along with the hundreds of millions of rounds it’s buying.
You show me the man, I’ll show you the crime. —Stalin
No serial numbers on some of Adam’s gun collection may be due to the fact he collected older and antique firearms. The .22 bolt action rifle my dad gave me as a kid in the late 1950s has no serial number as these were not required on .22 rifles and some shotguns back then. Will the feds call me a felon when they grab mine? Yes, as the agenda is to make all firearms illegal for we civilians.
Unless he gets convicted of a felony.
My model 67 Winchester .22 was bought new in 1940 and has no SN and it wasn’t required unless the firearm was manufactured for export.
They do: see something, say something.
The anti-gun, anti-freedom propaganda machine is in full swing. Marxists know that most people, rational people, abhor their policies and they must disarm the people, the producers, before their nefarious schemes can be implemented. Marxism is a disease and must be treated as such. It must be excised like the cancer it is. Marxists (leftists, so-called liberals) have diseased minds.
