ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A federal search warrant affidavit outlines the massive raid that seized nearly 1,500 firearms from the home and business of an Albuquerque man and why the feds were after him.
Last week rifles lined the lawn of a northeast Albuquerque home that belonged to Robert Adams. Homeland Security Investigations was also busy loading hundreds of handguns into boxes.
It took federal agents days to log every weapon seized into evidence.
Four search warrants filed Thursday show the HSI investigators seized nearly 900 firearms from Adams' home. There were 548 handguns and 317 rifles listed in the warrant return inventory.
They also searched his office that day taking 599 pistols and revolvers.

This appears to be his website.
Looks pretty out in the open, he is an antique gun collector/dealer.
I think he is toast. Tax evasion. The IRS code is impossible to comply with so we nearly all qualify as unconvicted felons. That is the beauty of the code. It gives government unlimited powers through confusion.

It's nobody's business but their own.
Great line - better expect massive plagiarism as it goes viral.
If his guns are legal and the charges are unrelated he *should* get his firearms back but it’s going to take a lot of legal hassle and $. Also depends what state this was in, I don’t recall.
The same IRS that will enforce Obama care - me thinks it is the gestapo for Obama’s new world order.
Until you attract the attention of "Law Enforcement".
Just wait, they will have a "Report Your Neighbor" program.
Pitting neighbor against neighbor. It's a socialists wet dream.
Why? Pre ‘68 lots of guns, especially cheaper guns, had no serial #s.
I have a problem with law enforcement going after this guy BECAUSE he had guns with no serial numbers, not because the guns didn’t have any.
The bass turds.
Lemme guess. He’ll never be charged, it’ll take years to get only part of his collection returned and the most valuable guns will be scratched and scarred or just plain missing, maybe in some BATFags personal collection.
Smuggling guns into the U.S.?
That is definitely contrary to the 0bama policy. Taking good guns away from Mexican drug cartels.
Turn dat frown de udder way 'roun, mon. :-)
While Fedzilla may have confiscated 900 firearms there, according to recent sales figures we can figure that on average Americans bought about 78,333 firearms today.
Americans Buy Enough Guns in Last Two Months to Outfit the Entire Chinese and Indian Armies
One neighbor who did not want to be identified said it was a shock.
“I didn’t really see the guns but from a distance,” the neighbor said. “I saw them pulling them out into the front yard.
“Its very scary in the fact that the school is so close by makes it seem even more dangerous.”
Years ago I was working in a bank in Alexandria, Virginia (home of many a liberal) when we were robbed. No gun was shown, only a note was passed. Customers were unaware anything had happened until we locked the door, asked everyone not to touch anything, and please remain until the FBI arrived to conduct their review. One woman immediately became panicky, almost fainted, and said: “Oh my God. They could have had a gun!” Amazing how just the thought of a gun can drive liberals into unrealistic emotional rants - kind of like the NY legislature.
