"massive weapons cache."

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   You may have heard on the news about a southern California man that was put under 72-hour psychiatric  observation when it was found that he owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 1 million rounds of ammunition stored in his  home.

The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.  My favorite quote from the dimwit television reporter:  "Wow! He has ... about a million machine gun bullets."  The headline referred to it as a "massive weapons cache."

BTW, I am dubious about the pile of ammunition boxes and cans that they showed.  It looked big enough to contain no more than about 100,000 rounds, unless there was a lot of .22 rimfire ammo.  However, by southern California standards, even someone owning 100,000 rounds would be called "mentally unstable."

Just imagine if he lived elsewhere:

In  Arizona, . . . he'd be called "an avid gun collector"

In Texas, . . . he'd be called "a novice gun collector"

In Utah, . . .he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.

In Montana, . . .he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."

In Idaho, . . . he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."

And, in Wyoming, . . . he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."
