If he could own them, unlimited amounts, then how was he illegally selling them? As long as the recipients weren’t felons a private gun transaction is not illegal

Are others stating that this many guns in a home IS indeed normal in that type of neighborhood?




I think most would say its not what you see in a typical homeowner, but that doesnt mean its abnormal

Except for all those dudes on page 1 and 2 disagreeing and calling people/government stupid for saying it was a big arsenal in that type of neighborhood.

It's abnormal to own 1000 guns. Even if you or the OP dude owned them 100% legally, it's still very abnormal. That doesn't mean good or bad, but by definition it's abnormal.

You are missing the point completely

Its not abnormal when there are numerous people all over the country that are just the same.

Isn't that the exact definition of abnormal?

Which is?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

the usual, average, or typical state or condition. - There is nothing "usual, average, or typical" about having 1000 guns in your house. Again, this does not mean good or bad.

Arguing that it's normal is...well, odd.

It's not normal, but it's not abnormal.

Looks like 2 Thompson submachine guns aka Tommy guns in that 2nd pic. I wouldn't mind having one of those.

I like how you didn’t use this aspect of the definition

quote:

deviating from what is normal or usual, typically in a way that is undesirable or worrying.


I know what abnormal means. As I said this is not uncommon.

It’s painfully obvious you are being deliberately obtuse here.

I'm guessing the vast majority of people in America would find it undesirable or worrying if they found out their neighbor was arrested with 1000 guns in his house and suspicion of illegally manufacturing/selling weapons.

It would be abnormal to have no concerns at all if this was your neighbor.

You can clearly see an SMG with a suppressor in the next-to-last pic. Really deep doo doo even if he wasn't in Cali.

Yep, he sold .50 caliber rifles to them but thinks citizens shouldn't be able to own "assault" weapons.
