A Long Island plastic surgeon was caught with an enormous cache of weapons in his car — that included five fully loaded assault rifles, body armor and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition, police said Wednesday.

Tuckahoe Police officers looking into a report that Matthew J. Bonanno, 47, had threatened his estranged wife arrested him Tuesday at a bar in the Westchester County town for allegedly illegally possessing a Glock semi-automatic handgun.

Bonanno, who practices in Lake Success, was arraigned Tuesday and remanded without bail on a slew of weapons charges. Investigators are still looking into how he obtained the massive amount of weapons.

He’s being held in the Westchester County Jail. His next court date is Aug. 20.

When they searched his BMW SUV, they found a staggering arms collection.

Inside the backseat and trunk were the assault rifles loaded with high-capacity magazines as well as: three handguns, 29 more high-capacity loaded magazines, a stun gun, handcuffs, full face masks, multiple military-style knives, four brass knuckles, pepper spray, scopes, binoculars and other paraphernalia, cops said.

Police then searched Bonanno’s home in the Town of Mount Pleasant, where they found three additional unlicensed handguns.

At the surgeon’s other house, in Great Neck, cops discovered another armory of assault rifles, a shotgun, handguns, high-capacity magazines, body armor, hundreds of rounds ammunition, smoke grenades and other weapons, which were turned over to Nassau Police.

By denying certain rights and weapons in an area to people makes people want them more. Nature abhors a vacuum, even a gun vacuum.

Think the Prohibition era.

Just an average loadout for a drive to the range in Texas.

Possibly not in NY. There are some cray cray mofos running that state now. Yeah, the one where my kin folk showed up in the early 1600’s. Of course they just came to subjugate the “native Americans” and stuff so..............

My guess is he acquired them before the unconstitutional laws in NY were passed.

I am still amazed how the term “Assault Rifle” has been twisted to describe a Semi Automatic Rifle.

The power of the DNC Media to manipulate the Language is something to behold.

Murdering the Unborn is “choice” which has now morphed into “Women’s Reproductive Health”.

Being a Patriotic American who happens to be Caucasian now makes you a “White Nationalist”.

If you dare speak of your Patriotic Beliefs in Public you are labeled a “White Supremacist”.

The simple act of being born a Caucasian makes you someone who has attained “White Privilege”.

I’m at the point in my Life that I can’t keep up with this Lunacy. It is tiring.

Psst, Mr. Plastic Surgeon, we’ve got an offer you can’t refuse. How’s about you doing a nose job on our friend Jeffrey and we forget about this little upset with the wife?

That Man will spend the rest of His life in jail as the cops and attorneys for those towns divy up all those Sporting Goods.

And the looney toon “wife” sells all the property and takes the $$$$ and disappears off somewhere.

The "illegal handgun" charges are bogus, but this guy looks like he was a true threat.

A threat to whom, exactly? To any attacker, that's who.

Hmmmm. Maybe we rename them “late term abortion devices”. That’ll confuse them.

Reporting like this makes me want to vomit. I realize that in the peoples' democracy of NY self defense and being able to defend yourself is one of the most serious crimes you can commit. However in a rational universe (i.e. one without Democrats) having weapons in your car is a big fat "so what?" He had a few rifles and some body armor. Well who in their right mind doesn't have some sort of arms and most preppers have body armor too. The richer ones have night vision as well.

"Arsenal"? "enormous cache"? More like one good weekend after an Virginia gun show.

Must suck to live in New York!

We’re talking New York. Lots of his property has been deemed illegal in that state from the MSRs to probably magazine capacity.
