Nearly 80,000 Ammunition Rounds Seized From Home
The Indy Channel ^ | 08/31/07

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Authorities said they removed nearly 80,000 rounds of ammunition from the home of a South Bend man who warned that the world was going to end.

South Bend police and federal agents blocked off streets around Kevin Rieder's home for six hours Wednesday while they removed the ammunition.

Rieder, 38, was arrested Wednesday and charged with illegal possession of ammunition while subject to a restraining order, Assistant U.S. Attorney Donald Schmidt said.

The restraining order had been taken out by an ex-girlfriend, Schmidt said.

Rieder told employees at a gun shop where he bought 18,000 rounds that he believed the world was going to end, officials said.

He was in custody Friday morning, awaiting a Tuesday bail and detention hearing.

Stephen King really is a very good writer. Even though he is a big liberal I do enjoy his books (mostly). However he was an English teacher at one time and should avoid showing ignorance in other things to the world.

Ah yes he now must be adjudicated mentally defective or not

No. That's just one reason why a person can have their second amendment rights taken away. There are a bunch of others. BTW, what you said isn't quite enough. The qualification is being adjudicated mentally defective AND a threat to yourself or others. You can be nuts and own a firearm as long as you're not dangerous.

Poor guy. And just think. He was a mere 20,000 rounds from having “enough”.

“”I remember a Stephen King novel (`Cell’ I think) where his characters, giddy as school girls, describe an AK as being capable of a hundred or more rounds—per second. “”


I have a movie script where in a shoot out in an emergency room of a hospital, the hero jumps behind a water cooler and tapes together his automatic pistol, and his dead partners revolver to increase his firepower.

Do you know what the status of the Emerson case is? I know in ‘04 that the 5th circuit upheld his conviction, but I can’t find any info on whether it was appealed to the SC or not and what may have happened there.

List includes 7.62.

Doesn't specify whether it's x39 or x51.

The USSC declined to review it - case over, he lost.

How may rounds does it take to stop the world from ending?

I know in Missouri you can’t purchase a gun when you have a restraining order, whether they can take your existing guns and ammo is something to wonder about.

You forgot currency: Ammunition, tobacco and alcohol.

And gasoline will be a precious commodity. Read "Patriots" by John Wesley Rawles. Fascinating book if you can make it past the 2nd chapter (boring 1st 2 chapters).

I can't even go read about it because our firewall is blocking access to the site - classified as "weapons". Nuts.

Apparently he was under some kind of court order already.
