Authorities searching a home in Silverdale Tuesday night uncovered a cache of weaponry and body armor, including at least eight handguns, four rifles, grenades, two shotguns and thousands of ammunition magazines.

"Amongst the numerous hand-held firearms that he had, there were explosive activating devices, fuses, grenades," said Kitsap County sheriff's spokesman Scott Wilson. "This individual was certainly gearing up with some items that would not normally be found in a civilian community. What concerns us the most is the fact that he had illegal explosives and young children in that house."

Is everyone but me missing the anti-gun spin in this story? A match is an "explosive activating device". Probably this guy had a surplus claymore clacker. "Fuses" were probably inert ones from dummy grenades. How is any of that illegal? Apparently they, and the weapons, aren't so why even mention them except to sensationalize the story?
