It looks like at one time he had permits to own the weapons but he let the permit expire.

The postal clerk looked at all the weaponry, stared at the suspect and then exclaimed :Sacre’ Bleu! All these guns! What do you think you are, an American man?”
To: Olog-hai
I hope any Jews in the south got some.

"...Sacré Bleu!..."
I love when exasperated and panicky journalists exclaim, ”Nearly 100 rounds of semi-automatic ammunition was found in the home!” when speaking about any firearms-related incident.

Whether measured by number of rounds or by weight of rounds, the silly journalists are always sweaty and frightened.
Those leftwinger writers would have a coronary if they had *any* idea about my crew of friends.
I envy them because they wisely left their firearms at home that one sad day we went boating with my whole collection, of course.

They’d leave Mohammed alone. This was probably a guy who was selling guns to people to protect themselves from the Muzzies.

Just so people know, the first gun crack down laws in France were enacted by the “right” wing Vichy government complying with the Nazis.
Some communists in France have let me know that real leftists are actually fond of guns, it just is that the snowflake leftists of the days who are efeminate do not know they are not real leftists yet but in due time when they get hung will...

Of course leftists are fond of guns. They are not, however, in favor of the right to keep and bear arms for all.

I did not see one "assault rifle" on the floor. A mix of bolt actions and a lot of air rifles.
The apparently full auto stuff may or may not have been demilled.
