I have alot more problems with a recently-released felon with a box-cutter, or a radical Muslim with a knife, than I do a doctor with a nice collection of transferable machineguns.
Methinks that the grenades (if they can PROVE they were his (by fingerprints, etc), are gonna send him away for a few years unless his FFL is Type 10, or he has a Destructive Device license.
I say put me and some bang_list members on that jury!
They raided a licensed federal firearms dealer and found -- guns!
“500,000 rounds of ammunition”
Okay thats when I would say I have “enough” ammo for my personal use...
Sonds like a bad Mann to me.
What good is an M203/M79 without some 40 mm rounds?
Is the launcher an arm? If so then he has the right to keep and bear it.
SoUnds like a bad Mann to me.
The medical business is getting tough.
Remember our recent discussion?
This may be a thread worth watching.
You already know my prediction.
Granades are great for hunting herdss of wild deer or boars.
You fire into the middle of the herd and kill several at one time.
“500,000 rounds of ammunition”

That inventory would give you just over an hour-long burst from a minigun
.Some firearms dealers actually stock in inventory of ammo!
“Inside the container, Oliver said, were 98 live grenades and one practice grenade, all designed to be fired from a gun and considered “instruments of war with no social purpose.”
Weapons have a great “social” purpose.
The big problem here is that I don’t believe a single word spoken by an agent of the BATFAG.
Not one.
This story is easily dismissed as full of lies, because the reporter used the testimony of a BATF official.
Anyone who think the BATF is anything other than an out of control government agency is seriously deluded.
You never know when you will need a blooker for something
WACO II. Legal inventory raided with no good reason.
Still, the good doctor hasn’t been shot and his house hasn’t been burnt down. America’s socialism-compliance forces have obviously mellowed.
kinda like dropping a bug zapper in a lake to go fishing - doh!
Yes, kinds like that. I also dream of hunting with an AK on full auto.........
Of all the things they seized, what is the evidence proving guilt in each case? Is possession of cash a crime? Can they prove he obtained it illegally? Even if he were a “felon in possession of a firearm,” on what basis can they take his cash?
"This guy is a dangerous FOREIGNER"
"He likes guns...therefore BAD".
"His dad was an Indian arms dealer, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"
"Oh lookie here, grenades just off of his property, they must be his since the records show he owns a registered grenade launcher" (NOTE TO JURY: CHECK THE RECORDS OF 98 MISSING GRENADES WITH SERIAL NUMBERS PRIOR TO APRIL 1994 MISSING FROM TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD ON LOAN TO ATF)
"This guy travels too much"
"This guy is obvious dangerous since he told his wife to be quiet, I mean, why be silent, even if you have the right to do so if you have nothing to hide"
"Our NFA database is all F**ked up, therefore, even if you DO have the right paperwork, if it ain't in DC, it ain't registered!"
Anyone else see this case as mad mojo for legal FFLs and citizens? Honestly looks like a set up or fishing expedition to me.
Come on man.
You’re from Texas.
If you are on the border and have a ranch, that 500,000 round figure would be low compared to what may be necessary..
