An arsenal of exotic weapons - including a sniper rifle, a spear and a set of 8-inch metal claws - were seized from a 23-year-old Jersey City man after his worried father called cops. When South District cops responded to the Greenville home yesterday morning, they found the sniper rifle - with a powerful scope and a laser sight - as well as three Glock handguns and more than 1,200 rounds of ammunition, reports said. Among the bullets were illegal "hollow-point" rounds, police said. In addition to the spear and metal claws, cops found a number of savage-looking knives, including one that had blades coming out of each end of its carved wooden handle. The owner of the weapons lived with his father, his brother and two younger brothers, police said.

Wow, a scoped rifle, some handguns, and knives are now a threatening 'arsenal.' Also, how can this author make hollow points sound exotic and unknown? Just seems like something everybody would know about.

He was more heavily armed than Canada.

It's a stockpile, I tell ya! It sure sounds menacing. Better report anyone with a rifle to authorities. Ditto for knives. Better lock em up.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Don't forget that these weren't ordinary guns and knives...these were savage looking weapons.

[Sarajevo]

Yeah, but how about the Klingon Ninja's "metal claws and savage-looking knives, including one that had blades coming out of each end of its carved wooden handle".

I wonder where I can get one of those....:-)

Jeez, sounds like my kid's bedroom.

[Arthalion]

I can only imagine how the press would report MY...ummm...collection. I'll bet my claymore would warrant an entire paragraph :)

[Porterville]

So my chainsaw, rake, rotozip, hammer, powerdrill, band saw, recipricating saw, hacksaw... are all potentialy a frightning weapons cache to NJ police? Makes me sick how the pussies are taking over.

Did he commit any crimes?

[Gordongekko909]

Ted Kennedy is calling for restrictions on the sale of all of those items as we speak.

As I type, my machete is laying on the desk beside my computer that my brother was using to clear away some brush. Wonder what the liberal weenies would think of that?

"Among the bullets were illegal "hollow-point" rounds"

I overlooked that. LOL You can't own hollowpoints in NJ? I have several handgun mags full of them!

[Firefigher NC]

"Did he commit any crimes?"

Nope, just made his father feel uncomfortable. What a pussy.

Also, how can this author make hollow points sound exotic and unknown?

LOL. I have 11 hollow points strapped to my ankle right now. You know, 1 in the chamber and 10 in the magazine.

[RKV]

ONLY 1200 rounds? Cripes, what a lightweight. Illegal hollowpoints? KMRIA.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Sword or landmine?

[Gator113]

That is some very scary stuff!!!

You should see all the "savage-looking" things that my Bride has in the kitchen!!!

The man had been licensed to own the guns, but he isn't allowed to keep them under the court order, reports said.

scratchin my head...has to be more to this story than this article.

Maybe he was down to his last thousand. ;-)

That reminds me; I need to go off and order some more.

Thoughtcrime certainly. Seriously, 4 guns is a "cache" B.S! I have 2 and a K-bar in my trunk. I guess my car would a mobile arsenal by their definition. I too collect "exotic" weapons, ie, knives, swords, etc, probably a good percentage on FR do as well. Fortunately I do not live in the People's Republic of NJ. Plus he was 23, he has a right to own those weapons.
