Cops Arrest Man For Having Too Much Ammo, Guns

[johnthomas]

I'm thinking this forum has enough members here that would make his collection of legal weapons look like nothing. First and foremost, Don't let cops into your house. If they must come in, don't let them wander around.
Don't open a safe without a warrant. I don't leave guns, ammo or anything like that laying around the house, it is all locked up or put away.

This CBS New York article says he had more than weapons and ammo.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/02/10/gun-stockpile-arrest-rego-park/

"Police seized 15 handguns, two shotguns, more than 45,000 rounds of ammunition and 225 pounds of smokeless gunpowder. They say Shou also had unassembled parts of assault rifles and bulletproof vests. Authorities say he had a license for all but one of the guns."

I wonder if he was arrested under a fire code charge for the powder.

225lb * 7000gn / average 25gn charge = 63,000 rounds.

You have to give up your 4th amendment rights in your home to exercise your 2nd?!?! How are they allowing that to stand!?

"officers conducted an administrative pistol licensee review" Holy crap were in Europe, why did we leave there to come here?! sheesh.

"If convicted, Shou could spend up to seven years behind bars." What crime did he commit that is worth 7 years in prison? For having "high capacity" magazines?

Anyone know if this has been brought to the attention of the NRA? This is a case they definitely need to fight, before it spreads to other states.

What law did Mr. Gou break?

From comments in this thread, this seems to be New York (State or City??)... And I seem to gather the jurisdiction has some sort of draconian firearms storage laws this citizen ran afoul of.

Note to self. Stay far away from NY and the facist Nazi rulers and laws that violate the US constitution and other laws...

In NY, owning a gun is a privilege not a right (at least that's how it's treated) and no one has challenged them on it yet.

If you have to give up a right in order to be allowed to exercise another, then they are not rights at all.

Guns in safe, Lock and key storage container for ammo = no issues and no unauthorized access against illegal searches

The issue is lack of freedom to choose. If we took that attitude with ar rifles in CA, there would be no oll.

Sucks for that guy but hopefully this becomes the case that undoes those ****ty laws. Especially since scotus declined to hear Jackson v sf.

Also, since I don't reload, someone enlighten me if powder is actually that dangerous? It would make sense but I don't trust this complete **** storm of a biased article.
