I guess I have a 'one way brain' (whatever the fuck that means), and I just assume you have become like many Americans that cannot imagine someone using the money they earned, without your help, and buying more stuff than you have.
To the original question I agree with most of the folks here, it's none of my business how many, or what, any one owns, right up to the point where it denies me any basic human right.
I guess to make it easy for you we could substitute one word, then tell me the limit, we might need to change up a little sentence structure to keep grammar and syntax somewhat intact.
'Who in the hell needs that many', cars, books, plants, wigs, dishes, degrees. children, cranes, boats, airplanes, acres of land, farm implements, breast augmentation surgeries etc.
Then we, (assuming we have the skill required to read) move to the story, there are no federal agents reported in the story, only staties. He was out on bond in no time so there must not have been much of a crime, other than some bull shit pistol garbage that is unique ( I assume) to NYC area.
You obviously have no problem with the state confiscating his legal weapons, as you have kept saying he violated some unknown law, and now I guess you think it's okay for LE to take all his shit and him to spend thousands in legal fees to get it back.
Somewhere it was stated that the expired FFL had some bearing on this, that was just reported in the story, and folks ran with that. Remember, there are very, very few facts reported, mostly .gov officials spewing to a willing writer-downer of information, or mis-information mostly, when it comes from the government.
After the bullshit ruling from the ATF when the four state assault weapon reporting requirement went into effect, ATF had some pretty serious paperwork investigations here in town, causing two dealers here in town to finally give their FFL's up, and move their business collections to their personal property.
Simple, all the firearms in the bound book were transferred to the dealers personal name, then the bound book and all pertinent papers were given to the ATF. The Agent here in town was telling us about a private collecter here with 3200 firearms, mostly handguns, including sidearms worn by almost every General that served in WWII. Is that a problem for you also? That is three thousand two hundred, which is 2900 more than this 'miscreant' you originally posted the story about.
Seems like your just a little jealous, made an ass out of your self with your original post and now every one here (on a gun site no less) is some sort of dumb ass for pointing out the folly of your comment.
'Now let's see you tell the feds that, their the ones who had a problem with his house keeping and his business.'
Please show me where you found that the feds were there, I'm dying to know your sourcing.
Or you could just call me a pansy, or tell me to 'go suck a big one', or call me 'inbred' or 'retarded'. I really don't care either way, it just seems you have facts that I can't find anywhere.
