Oh look, they seized another "arsenal"...

[Manedwolf]

What the news is calling it, anyway. One of the supporters of the threatening tax cheat Ed Brown, who yes, SHOULD have been arrested because he had pipe bombs. But at his arrest in Texas, they called this an "arsenal".

I call it a very limited and modest collection of late-model budget stuff.

I'm disappointed with the CX4. No way it can take down a Centurion.

Here, they auction them, apparently usually to gun shops!

Several times I've gone in my favorite store, and half of the evidence tag is still on the new acquisitions before they're priced, stuff about being seized, felon in possession, etc, etc. Everything from decent guns to crappy NEF single-shots.

How did he get busted with this "arsenal"

 

[lockedcj7]

They sell them here in lots to the gun shop which turns them over without even cleaning them up. Got a nice Remington 541-T with Leupold scope that way. Wish I knew the backstory.

I asked an officer in the store once about that. They said that actual crime guns get held for evidence and appeals, so anything you buy from a store like that likely has no history to it. That it's usually just that someone either is arrested/convicted on domestic violence or violates a restraining order, and as a result of "a felon can't have guns", his guns are taken out of closets, safes and the like.

That "arsenal" is more expensive than mine by a factor of 10. I wouldn't mind havingthat at all.

I thought that was a Hi-Point in the ATI stock. Nice EOTech on it though.

 

[Archie]

I have to wonder...

Are any of those weapons illegal in and of themselves? Any non-registered or illegally converted NFA class weapons or such?

What was the grounds for siezure? Were threats made? There has to be some reason for a siezure. Being a 'supporter' of a tax cheat doesn't qualify for reasonable cause alone.

 

[Manedwolf]

The guy had pipe bombs. That's definitely illegal.

And no, none of those are illegal. But if you do one thing extremely illegal like have pipe bombs, they tend to take your guns too.
