Yep the police have found a very valuble life time collection and will find a way to keep it and profit themselves, just because they can.
I agree with a previous poster that someone probably shouldn't have had such a collection in NJ. Of course NJ (or NY or CA) would call in the National Guard for such a collection. I'll bet they made numerous photo shoots with Guardsmen holding cases of ammo and 'assault weapons'.
My first thought, as well.
