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.

With an estranged wife, my guess is he was trying to move his collection somewhere safe. He should not have stopped in a bar, through.

That version was sent to me.

I’ve updated it a little today:

We live in a society where
Homosexuals lecture us on morals,
Transsexuals lecture us on human biology,
Baby killers lecture us on human rights,
Satanists lecture us on religion, and
Socialists lecture us on economics

As I understand New York gun laws from the free state of Missouri, it is illegal to possess a handgun without getting permission from the state. Your pistol/revolver has to be “registered” and if it isn’t, you are subject to severe penalties. If you want to move to the state, you cannot bring your handguns with you. They will have to be stored out of state until the state deigns to give you its permission to bring your property into the state, and of course, there’s no guarantee the state will grant you permission.

NYC is even worse, I’ve heard.

Sounds like the good doctor was heading out for a fun day at the range.

Is it possible that he was moving him firearms so that they would not be confiscated under the “red flag” law since the ex was making a domestic violence allegation?

Good idea but remember when PDJT said ‘Hell yes, tanks for the Military Parade’ and the Mayor of DC (for one) said tanks can’t be on city streets.

So, I guess since that was ‘decreed’, we are safe from an invasion, as I am sure the invading army will obey ALL traffic laws..(we can ‘hide’ in school zones as they are gun free).

The only ones that may pay attention to the signs would be the Army of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick’

FYI sanctuary cities in the DC area (DC and Fairfax County VA) were ‘given’ a couple hundred million bucks to set up refugee camps for the ‘displaced ‘border children’’.

Both ‘D Strongholds’ declined ....(I am sure they will keep the money though) ... HA HA

While on the subject of ‘Sanctuary cities’, Montgomery County MD is blaming the Fed for the two ILLEGALS that repeatedly raped an 11 year old.

Now the County says they will inform ICE when they are going to release them...

Personally, if it were MY ELEVEN YEAR OLD, I would do all in my power to get them released......

Neither one of the AHOLES should be in solitary, put them in gen pop.....PROBLEM SOLVED....maybe they will hang themselves....

Just for the ‘protection’ of ALL concerned, lets just say he spoke when he should have STFU and his partner in crime talked to him.

Are these the two in Montgomery County MD? I thought ‘they’ said those two were in their 20s...

Montgomery County MD should not be put through the rigors of a 4 year trial and a sentence...Put them in GenPop and let the chips fall where they may.

Definitely should be housed with some ‘White Nationalists’ ....

Speaking of ‘bruises’, what is with the Senate Majority Leader and ‘accidents’ while on vacation?

Maybe they should stay in Washington and get some work done (Fat chance)

When I used to live in NJ they had just passed some stupid law where you couldn't just keep a gun in your car anymore. You had to be directly going to or coming from hunting or a gun range.

A few years ago there was some idiot adult in Central Park shooting kids with an air-soft gun. (The little tiny plastic pellets).

It was charged with possession of an illegal weapon. Air-soft guns are illegal in NYC!

From the looks of this guy in his three piece suit, and his occupation as a plastic surgeon, I wonder if he didn't have some Walter Mitty type of complex.

Well, guys with that kind of money have to spend it somewhere.

I just realized this doc’s last name. Bonanno. Maybe he did redo Epstein’s face. Then figured he should be ready in case the Clinton’s went back on the deal.

I’m guessing that He was trying to keep it from the “wife”.

Heck He could’ve given it to Me. I’ll make room for it.

Yes, I’d say that could be a distinct possibility.
