Guo Shou, 33, is accused of amassing enough deadly weapons and ammo to take on a small army, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
SNIP
In total, he was caught with 14 licensed handguns two loaded, licensed shotguns; one licensed rifle; approximately 45,000 rounds of ammunition for a variety of weapons; 225 pounds of smokeless gun powder stored in various containers and open to view; unassembled parts for an AR-10 and AR-15 assault rifles, three high-capacity magazines - one fully loaded with 20 rounds and each capable of holding in excess of ten rounds of .308 caliber ammunition - two Kevlar body armor vests, six Kevlar armor plates, one ammunition press, numerous primers, empty cartridges, and several other devices and components related to weapons ammunition.
"The defendant is accused of turning his apartment into an arsenal by stockpiling deadly weapons and ammunition - all laying in plain sight and unsecured,†Brown said in a statement. “It is extremely disturbing to find such a lethal arsenal of this magnitude in a residential community - especially one less than two blocks from an elementary school."

Heavy duty irony from the mentally unstable staff working at the Socialist rag in NY.
I wonder what triggered the administrative pistol license review? Can they enter your residence for any reason, just because you have a gun license?
And this is why I’m not terribly upset by folks who violate “gun laws”. I don’t do it, but I don’t consider it to be inherently wrong. It may be a bad idea in that it tends to attract the wrong sort of attention, but it isn’t evil in the same sense that murder, rape, and robbery are evil.
Hey, I’ll take care of all that hardware and ammo for him while he’s thrashing things out in court. );-)
His home is secured.
If there is a lock on his door, the guns are secured.
These folks that think you need a three lock door, a trigger lock, and a gun safe or you are in violation, are nuts.
So, even if all is legal, they can still declare it all illegal and take it?
I don’t see anything wrong with this guy’s collection. Is there a NY law that requires “locking up” guns and ammo? If not, it sounds to me like the authorities just want to take his guns instead of buying their own! What provoked them to check this guy out anyways?
I view it as a low grade misdemeanor.
They view it as practically a capital crime.
If we're talking .22LR for the AR10, not too surprising. I go through 1K rounds in an afternoon of target plinking with my .22.
With that firepower, the “authorities” never should have made it through the front door.
I think I read once that it’s illegal to possess more than 8lbs of powder without registration with the local Fire Department.
So... what law did he break?
Unless the guy is a felon, a terrorist, etc. - having roughly 17 firearms is not a big deal.
Yes. And all the ones in MA are in the Legislature.
It ain’t the matter of where I live more what I can afford.
Here in Texas that isn’t a crime, after all he’s just an amuture collector.
If they raided my house they “catch me” with a huge cache of books of all kinds. biographies, science fiction, medical texts, spy novels, mysteries, all Democrats are crooks etc. I have also accumulated hundreds of ebooks.
And yeah they would find handguns and a shotgun and ammunition.
One has to do with the first amendment the other with the second.
“How many of this Great Republic’s >20,000 “gun laws” are Constitutional to enact?”
Very probably none of them. The right to keep and bear in order to have a well regulated militia were Not reserved for the US government NOR to the states but to the people. “People” is defined as individuals.
I wouldn’t doubt it back there. Heck, my state is the same way.
