'Enormous' number of weapons found at Pasco felon's home

If gun control laws worked this man would not have these guns.

Yet this is just the kind of incident liberals will use to justify their argument for universal background checks - ignoring the fact that people with criminal intent scoff at laws they don't like (just like politicians do).

I did note that the author made it all the way through this article without using the word "Arsenal".

He's a felon with convictions for burglary, carrying a concealed weapon, marijuana possession and drunken driving, records show.

Well, he could always run in the local election as a Democrat, he's got the creds.

[Red Badger]

This cannot be true. Felons aren’t supposed to have guns. It’s the law.....................

Yes, that was what they said in Australia. Then the crimine wave ensued.

Szaraz spoke at length of being a patriot and mistrusting the federal government and law enforcement.

And the meme goes merrily on...

Charging someone with a felony for carrying a gun without a gun, therefore, denying him the right to possess guns forever in the future, is like denying someone the right to ever own a book, because he had a book without a permit, or from ever practicing a religion, because he once prayed without a permit.

[Mr. K]

But he can’t have guns- there is a law against it!!

Wait... explain to me how criminals obey laws again?

[cripplecreek]

Proving that laws against felons owning weapons are just as ridiculous as anything the democrats can dream up.

[Hardraade]

Did they take his Democrat voter registration too?

The guy is a felon and probabaly a freak, but there are lessons here for all of us. A culture of denouncing your neighbor for gain or even just for entertainment is fast developing in the US.

1. Nobody needs to know about your cache. Period. If, God forbid, you ever need it, it should surprise even your spouse.

2. Nobody needs to know all your plans. Family members only need to know those parts that depend on them. Friends and strangers should not even know that you have a plan unless...see the next point.

3. Nobody gets "cut in" until you have evidence that you can trust them with your life and your future. This includes everyone, even family. Some "like-minded" dude you met in a bar a year ago does not cut it.

4. Leave play-acting for the kids. Answering the door geared up like a ninja is just plain dumb for anybody. Keep it handy, but keep in SECRET.

In summary, give no one a reason to think that a SWAT team would be anything but bored to death by a visit to your house.

I want to echo Jboot’s comments. There are lessons learned here.

1st Rule of Prep Club: You do not talk about Prep Club.

2nd Rule of Prep Club: You DO NOT talk about Prep Club.

"You can't have them," the judge shot back. "It's as simple as that." --------------------------------------------------------------------- And where exactly does it say in our founding documents that once you have a felony conviction you lose your constitutional rights? This is BS. He has every right to own firearms just as he has freedom of speech.

No one would even begin to argue that a felon no longer has his constitutional right to freedom of speech, so how does a felon lose his 2nd amendment rights? The answer could not be clearer. He doesn't

This needs to be challenged all the way to the high court. Even liberal judges could not defend this farce of a concept. Felons do NOT LOSE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Once they have served their debt to society its OVER. They are free just as they were before.

Agent Franck said Szaraz espouses beliefs characteristic of sovereign citizen extremists, a movement the FBI categorizes as domestic terrorism. Oklahoma City bombing accomplice Terry Nichols considered himself a sovereign citizen. Subscribers reject the authority of the government and its laws.

It's just a matter of time for conservatism to be outlawed.

[I got the rope]

I disagree with cops and judge on this one. 2nd amendment protects one’s inalienable right in the home. I think the supremes agreed on this nuance of the law already.

[jboot]

Thanks, but here deep inside the eight-lane Death Strip and the Great Firewall of Obama I cannot access Youtube. What is the video?

[from occupied ga]

order to kill law enforcement when they come to take their weapons away and put them all in FEMA camps," the affidavit states.

How paranoid. This could never happen here < /sarcasm>

Thanks for the amplification. This episode got me thinking about Randy Weaver. His cardinal error was to talk too much to a "friendly, like-minded" guy who turned out to be a federal agent. Before the guy turned on Weaver he invited him to attend some Aryan Nations events, and he foolishly accepted, thus adding to the case against him. He later asked Weaver to cut down a shotgun, and Weaver balked. But it was too late. The rest is history.

To quote Gadalf, "keep it secret, keep it safe."

OK, so an 'enormous number of weapons' were found. Like what?

Besides the unsubstantiated statements from questionable witnesses and hyperbole from the usual suspects, that is...
