Any UK forumers involved in this?

No, sorry mate, I don't think you did. I apologize if that seems somewhat abrupt, but in cases where the evidence is being twisted, it is a mistake to let yourself be drawn into the twisted definitions of those who appear to have a certain agenda, thus inadvertently accepting their position.

In the photos I have seen*, there is NOT ONE EXAMPLE OF A LIVE ROUND. But plenty of fired cartridge cases, as can be seen by the blackening and riffling in/around the necks, and the firing pin impressions on those few primers that can be seen. A fired case - no live primer, no powder, no projectile, is NOT INERT AMMO, IT IS NOT AMMO AT ALL.

Sorry to shout, but we should be precise about such things, as it seems that impreciseness is being used here by the press (and apparently the police) as a tool to paint a false picture.

*There may, of course, be others that I have not observed.

That is being a little picky. It's like saying deactivated firearm when it has ceased to be a firearm.

Information

Experts from the National Ballistics Intelligence Service examined many of the weapons and could not find any link to known crimes.

'We have asked every question and followed every line of inquiry and have found no evidence of a criminal or terrorist motive.

'The best explanation to date is that he was a collector and a hoarder who collected these weapons in the way some people collect stamps.'

In other words, no crimes were committed. He’s just a gun collector.

They may have to wait along time to prove him guilty......

So the wife (who turned him in to the police) gets to keep his estate or will the police take it?

[Iditarodjoe2]

You have to feel sorry for the poor guy. All of those wonderful firearms and no chance of ever being able to shoot them . . .

[Gun Surfer]

"Arnold died of pancreatic cancer, meaning he could never face prosecution" Uh, yeah. I bet they were ****ed when the reaper robbed 'em of the opportunity for a gun collector show trial of the century.

Next time wifey asks how many guns I have, I'm going to show her this. Meanwhile, I now desperately need an Uzi with bayonet.

(Wow, I got edited for a bad word, there's a first.)

…… Meanwhile, I now desperately need an Uzi with bayonet……

LOL.

I am originally from the UK and I really appreciate being able to legally own machineguns and shoot them here in the US. It’s very refreshing to be allowed this personal responsibility after being denied it.

My brothers still live in the UK. One of them told me he pays £145 a year for a TV license. I told him that’s more than I pay in tax to own a machinegun for the rest of my life.

TV license.

What's that??

[Paul S.]

TV licence --
We used to have them in Oz too. Essentially it is a tax you pay to be allowed to have and use a TV. There used to be one for radios, or as we called them - a wireless, as well.

Germany has introduced a special TV/radio tax on e v e r y household, whether they´ve got one or not. I keep on getting payment demands on an aircraft hangar out in the wilds (unheated and unconnected to drains or water supply), as they consider it a `household´. The charge for registering a firearm (or change of ownership) is exorbitant. But the income to the state is (I suppose) one small reason why they´ve not been banned.
