According to police in Cumberland County, Pa., a prison guard allegedly killed a lawyer and stole his custom rifle -- part of a plan, the guard admitted, to steal guns in preparation for an armed coup.

Raymond Peake, a 64-year-old guard at the Camp Hill state prison, allegedly shot Todd Getgen to death at a local shooting range and stole Getgen's gun, a custom, silenced AR-15 rifle. He then allegedly stashed the gun with a fellow guard, Thomas Tuso, until he could put it in a storage unit.

Peake was arrested after police followed him to his storage unit and later searched it. They found three guns: Getgen's, Peake's, and a gun that had been reported stolen from the same range earlier.

He told police he didn't kill Getgen; according to Peake, he was already dead when Peake found him. Then he stole his gun.

From the police affidavit:

Peake said he has been stealing guns for the purpose of aiding an organization that Peake refused to name. Peake said the organization is collecting guns for the purpose of overthrowing the federal government (of the United States of America). Peake said he and Tuso together are members of this organization. Peake told your affiant that he would kill to defend his country and he was stealing weapons to defend his country.[/quote][/release]

Silenced AR-15? Not sure how I feel on that one.

When I read the thread, I was very confused at first:

1. A prison [B]GUARD[/B] is part of a "revolution"
2. Said guard murders a man for his rifle
3. What the fuck is a lawyer doing with a silenced AR-15? I mean, really?

Old guy is a kook and silencers are nice for times when you don't want to blowing your ears out when shooting indoors in a self defense situation. If I was a lawyer I would want to be armed in case an angry ex client flipped out and wanted to kill me.

Thank you Glenn Beck.

Thread is probably going to turn into a shitfest about silenced weapons.

People own [I]suppressed[/I] firearms because it's less harmful to your ears, it isn't as harmful to other people's ears, and means you can go shooting at an isolated place like a rock quarry without disturbing your neighbors. Hell, I know that there's a person on YouTube who shoots his suppressed .22 in his basement without disturbing his neighbors.

If you've ever fired an AR-15 in an indoor range, it sounds like a fucking rocket launcher.
I don't blame the lawyer for wanting a silencer.
