[quote=Breitbart]Breitbart News previously reported that the LAPD discovered over 1,200 guns and two tons of ammunition in a condominium in the liberal coastal neighborhood of Pacific Palisades last week. Nearby, the body of the alleged owner of the guns and ammo was found decomposing in an SUV.
[B]It is now being reported that the body of the dead man–who has yet to be named–was left in the SUV for nearly two weeks before discovery and that it was left there by the man’s fiancée, who thought a government agency was tracking him and would locate the body.[/B]
According to the LA Times, the dead man–whom neighbors say they knew as “Bob”–“claimed to have worked covertly for either the FBI or the CIA.” They said he would often talk to them about his willingness to show them “self-defense moves” and talk to them about “night missions” that involved “swimming to Catalina.”[/quote]

Edit: Correction, it was SIX AND A HALF TONS of ammo.
Guns are legal in the US, how is this different from collecting stamps?
I love guns, and I would collect them if they were legal in Denmark.
There's a lot of history in those things and their designs.

That he was found dead in an SUV [B]is[/B] pretty suspicious though.
The weird part isn't that he's a big gun collector, it's that the fiancée didn't do anything when he went missing because she thought he was being tracked by the government.

The state of California is one of the most anti- gun states in the country, magazines with a capacity of more than ten rounds are illegal. Don't get me wrong, the guy was a complete nut, but he was hiding the guns for a reason.
Its like that grandpa wacko from san andreas

I think guns are a bit more dangerous and expensive than stamps.
There's also the fact that he had thousands of guns and literal tons of ammo in one of the most gun restrictive states in the union.

I see no guns in that video that aren't offered in a Cali compliance model. Most of them seem to be bolt action rifles and shotguns too.
This isn't why this is a story. It's a story because his fiancee thought he was a part of a government agency, or a half alien/human hybrid.
I'm actually serious.
and knowing California they'll melt them all down
It's safe to say he wasn't a gun collector. The fact that he was found dead in an SUV leads me to believe that he wasn't the type of guy to spend 5 million dollars on guns.
All though I won't place my judgement down fully, this guy sounds like a gunrunner.
Believe it or not, a high quality scratch in California runs quiet a bit of money, and even more dosh south of the border.

Read the fucking story, they were all legally purchased, he was put in his SUV because the fucking fiancee thought he was a lizard person working for the CIA.

Just the kind of people you want owning 5 million dollars in firearms and ammunition. :fuckingeaglesalutingflagwithjesusandamonstertruck:
SIX AND A HALF TONS
You could supply a small african rebel faction with that kind of oompfh
nice
Whose turn is it to post Sea Mine?
And I thought the 235kg of ammo you're legally allowed in one building in Canada was a lot, but this guy had 6.5 tons. Hot damn.
That's a lot of gun.
[QUOTE=ScottyWired;48275437]Whose turn is it to post Sea Mine?[/QUOTE]
Sea mine is reserved for UK gun collectors.

Which would be a good thing.

How, when they can be legally sold and the city could receive the money?

You can still own any hi-cap mag so long as it was purchased before 2000.
Really hope there are no antiques in there to get melted down.
[QUOTE=windwakr;48276082]According to this article:

It was more like $500,000 to $1 million dollars worth and he really was just a collector.[/QUOTE]
news orgs like to take the highest possible amount something could be worth under perfect conditions and run with it, same thing happens with the "street value" of drugs
One day my gun collection will be this big
6.5 Tonnes of ammo... could you imagine if there was a fire there?

While the above video is 100 tonnes of ammunition, 6.5 Tonnes would do a HUGE amount of damage and very likely kill many people, like a huge.... 6.5 tonne frag grenade.

A house burned down in a neighboring town awhile ago because the owners left a lot of unsecured ammunition laying around. The area was evacuated and the firefighters refused to approach the building for fear of being shot, you could hear pops and bangs coming from inside.

Why on earth?
[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;48275680]How, when they can be legally sold and the city could receive the money?[/QUOTE]
It would be in everyone's best interests to melt them. Dont need more guns on the street in shit owners which will get them stolen.
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;48277808]Why on earth?[/QUOTE]
Because most of the time Europeans are quite sensitive and the thought of having an arsenal to defend yourself from being impregnated by extraterrestrial dickseed upsets them.
