A huge arsenal of weapons including shotguns and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition was found at a Midlands home.
Police say the collection which was hoarded by Jonathan Knight posed a 'significant risk to the public'.
Officers from the National Crime Agency's armed operations unit descended on a house in Sunfield Road, Cannock after suspecting weapons fanatic, Jonathan Knight had been collecting firearms illegally.
Three air pistols, a pair of air rifles, a ME38 revolver, two sound moderators and a huge amount of ammunition was discovered at the 47-year-old's home.

6000 rounds ain’t that much.
Wow! 5 air guns. Holy Toledo! And 6000 BBs. I’ll sure sleep better tonight.
A society of poosies.
But then, this wasn’t the U.S. of A.
Yes it is. IT’S YUGE! Brits are some funny huh? Imagine what they’d say if they saw.................... Never mind. ;-)
Maybe even planned on conquering the entire world!

Brits are such twits.
heh. 6,000 rounds of .223 would easily fit in a bedroom dresser. 6” X 6” X 20” guessing, per case, per 1,000 rounds.’
Have to go look in the ammo safe. ;-)
Guy Fawkes he ain’t.
6,000 rounds? Does the reporter have any idea how many whole magazines you can go through just to train yourself with a gun?
Gas weapons? Are they talking about air rifles or CO2 powered air rifles?
Hmmm. I’ve go a bunch of old Reades Digests he could train with. No? Not those kind of magazines? Shhhh. They wouldn’t know.
LOL.

They’d faint if they saw my collection.
Yup. Easily converted to fire actual ammo. Or something.
That, and a few shotguns does not constitute an arsenal.
By those standards, the British police would faint dead away, looking in the average American's gun closet.

OMG, not the dreaded AIR RIFLES!!!
That’s kind of what I was thinking. Few bricks of .22’s, and you’re almost there.
now if it were 60,000 or more, that might be a lot.
If many of us here on FR moved to GB with all of our toys, there would be a national chimp fit there larger than anything since the Blitz. We’d all be jailed as hopeless, irredeemable felons. It would really fun to have some of those Brits visit here to see what we have. Of course, massive quantities of smelling salts would have to be stocked in advance.
