    INTERESTING HOARD

    A thousand guns were found in an LA mansion. Then the mystery deepened | US news | The Guardian

    Now that would have been worth sorting through, seeing those Thompsons and other rare guns!!

    As usual the police or reporters do not know what they are talking about . The Thompsons are Not WWII full auto military , but the long barrel modern semi copies . There are a lot of cheap .22 rifles in the piles . It may be a case of just reacting to " bad guns " and turn out to be not much ? With all of comifornia's guns laws it may just be a cal violation .

    That's what I would suspect too, it's a California thing...

    Sad part is that all of 'em will be chopped.
    "...Near the Playboy Mansion..." Wonder what made the Levin guy think that was important.

    Having a look at some of the photos the media has presented is interesting. I haven't seen anything that looks like an 'assault weapon'. In fact, one commonly presented photo shows nothing but various types of revolvers strewn across what appears to be a tarpaulin. Noticable aamngst them is a .455 Webley, a .38 Webley and what appears to be a vintage .38 Colt.

    Owner could be completely innocent......no regard!!!!
