China Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 1 law enforcement officer killed in Florence, South Carolina, 6 others wounded (CNN) - Seven law enforcement officers were shot, one fatally, during a standoff Wednesday in Florence, South Carolina, city police Chief Allen Heidler said. Florence County Sheriff's deputies were executing a search warrant when a man opened fire, said Maj. Mike Nunn, a spokesman for the sheriff's office. The man then barricaded himself in the home with children during the two-hour standoff, Nunn said. The other officers were shot as they responded to assist their fellow officers, authorities said. "These officers went there unknowing the firepower this suspect had. ... They thought it was a random search warrant," Florence County Sheriff Kenney Boone said. He said the suspect was in custody. Boone said: "Fire was being shot all over. The way the suspect was positioned, his view of fire was several hundred yards. So, he had an advantage."

TheGreatBuzz Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 The number of guns a "alleged" criminal has seems excessive in hindsight. 130 seems excessive to me. Is there a magic number though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that stops a bad guy with 130 guns is a good guy with 130 guns.... but only after he’s killed a cop and wounded six others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a number that should set off alarms? You know I am pro gun but I think 130 is too much. But is there a number that a line can be drawn at?

You know I am pro gun but I think 130 is too much. But is there a number that a line can be drawn at? I dunno. It's not like having 130 guns makes you any more dangerous than having just one. I'm sure if we had a better system for vetting who is allowed to own guns, this cat would have raised several red flags though. edit: And I'm pro-gun ownership (of the responsible variety) too... I'm also anti-stupid which is exactly what our gun laws are as is the refusal to do ANYTHING about an obvious and extreme problem except flood the country with more and more guns.

Obviously some people just like collecting things and trying different things and some people have hoarding issues. Is there a way to tell if the stockpiling of guns is indicative of something else though or that the person doing it could be a danger?

Larry Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Part of the problem is that the only way to set off alarms when some guy has 130 guns, is to keep track of who owns every gun. In order to know who has 130, you have to know who owns 2. And, as we all know, if you keep any records at all, then within months, the government will come and take them all away, and months after that, the communist government will cancel all elections. In case you can't tell, I think keeping track of who owns every gun is a no brainer, responsible gun ownership, measure. For one thing, I think it's absolutely insane that when the cops find a gun at a crime scene, they can't enter the serial number in the computer in the car, and get the name and address of the current owner. (And who he bought it from, and when). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots of people with lots of guns. None of them seem like they’d do anything crazy/stupid. Wouldn’t suggest going to their house uninvited though hunting can require a lot of guns. Collecting and just being a hobby shooter can too. I dont know how or where you draw the line. People do the same thing with ammo. They’ll report someone had 500 rounds. That’s only a lot to people who don’t own guns. When you realize they’re tools and you see how their uses are diffferent it’s easier to accept more guns.

As for amount of rounds, 500 is a starter kit. I have more than that in each caliber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Police seize over 40 firearms, thousands of ammo rounds and silencers from home DEVENS, Mass. - A 62-year-old Shirley man is being held without bail after state police seized dozens of unlicensed firearms, silencers and thousands of rounds of ammunition from his home. Jeffrey Dusti was arraigned Thursday in Ayer District Court. He was held pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Nov. 5. The large-scale firearm bust happened Tuesday at Dusti's home in Shirley. Dusti is charged with 47 counts of possessing a firearm without a license, 44 counts of possessing a silencer, possessing a loaded firearm without a license, possessing ammunition and possessing a sawed-off shotgun. “The defendant is alleged to not only have been in possession of multiple illegal firearms, but to also have been illegally modifying the guns making them all the more dangerous,” Ryan said. “Simply put, there is no reason that a person with good intentions would require a silencer. Those devices are strictly made for violent and insidious purposes." Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
