A couple of I.E. dirtbags trolling over by John Wayne Airport for people/homes/businesses they could rob?

Throw the book at them!

(I.E. = Inland Empire, referring to the area they’re from)

F&F weapons..?

Hmmm.....

[WayneS]

I wonder if they were actual, select-fire, AK-47s.

Unfortunately, due to hoplophobia, monumental ignorance and poor reporting on the part of the news media we may never know.

Road trip to Ferguson cut short?

[WayneS]

A search of the van revealed that there were a total of seven AK-47 assault rifles, six 30-round high-capacity 7.62 caliber magazines, two 10-round magazines, and over 350 rounds of 7.62 caliber ammunition inside, police said.

I sure hope they don't look in the trunk of MY car...

[Blood of Tyrants]

I wonder what their grounds for searching the vehicle were.

[vetvetdoug]

Probably just going to sell them at the Newport Beach Flea Market. They sell everything there. First flea market I ever saw where used Lamborghini's, Porches and Jags are sold.

[Cicero]

I have no sympathy. They sound like a couple of crooks. Probably stolen weapons that they were taking somewhere to sell.

So let’s get this straight...

In California, where normal people can’t have a semi auto AR a detachable magazine, and have to navigate all kinds of approved gun lists and waiting periods and I prefer not to know what else, there are known criminals wandering around with full auto AK’s. Have the people of California bought safety at the expense of liberty or was Ben Franklin right?

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. —Benjamin Franklin

[JimRed]

Militia members? That would account for the arrest...

[Veggie Todd]

They’re CLIPS! oh...wait....

People who steal guns should be hanged. No exceptions.

I had guns stolen and cannot tell you how pi%$ed I was for some time.

As someone who is familiar with that area, at 8:48 p.m., there’s very little traffic. The Dodge Caravan probably stood out like a sore thumb. Excellent bust, IMO.

I had a scary but ultimately miraculous situation happen in that area about 10 years ago. Going south on the 405 one morning, I was very early to work, which was highly unusual, and I got off on the Bristol Street off ramp to make a right to go to my office. There was a guy right off the off ramp begging for a ride. Begging. I was at the stop light at the off ramp and since I was early and he was begging, I gave him a ride. I know, stupid.

He said he wanted to go down Bristol to Jamboree, which was a couple miles (and would take me right by Bristol/Irvine where this bust happened). After he got in my car and we were driving along, I got a very bad vibe. Very bad. As I drove along, I noticed to my right just slightly behind me a police car. It paced me. I immediately began to feel better about my situation. I do not know if my passenger knew it was there. The cruiser stayed with me until I dropped him off. I have never picked up a hitchhiker since. Those cops over there are on the BALL.
