I never understood why you need that many. Like in one location. Like are you opening a store? I recall the 1 guy had a bunch of guns so he didn't have to reload. But like 100s? You cant carry that many. Literally more guns than blades of grass on lawn.
If you believe the propaganda that Democrats want to take your guns and were on the verge of a civil war, then it makes total sense.
Translation: them fuckers is crazy.
Have to be. Not a good return unless he planned to sell these illegally.
Illegally? I don't know the law in AZ but if he rolled on over here to Texas he could sell them as private sales without any issue. I once purchased a .45 ACP in the parking lot of a police station.
Naa I meant when THEY come for yo gunz and it's banned to sell them. He can turn a profit.
Oohhhhh, my bad.
so they are spare parts? I know nothing of gun maintenance.
Could be, most gun parts actually have a limited life span. Barrels for instance last between 20-25k rounds.
I mean, you’re not going to use all of them at once. Maybe you have your everyday carry pistol, and a few more pistols that you like to shoot. Maybe you have a few rifles dedicated to hunting for the family. Maybe you have a few rifles that you shoot at the range for fun. Maybe a machine gun or two just to have one.
Hang on, that’s still less than 20.
Maybe he collects them?
Do you think he also collects explosives? Because they found those too.
No no, this is the southwest. He's holding that for a friend. Whose trying to trying to get the Road Runner. Always buy Acme TNT! Nothing blows up in your face better than Acme!
He's gunna go blow up an old computer monitor on BLM land a mile and a half down the road from the sign that says, "absolutely no tannerite" if he's anything like my friends, lol.
Well now I'll be disappointed if they don't find a wooden sign with "YIPE!" printed on it.
You don't.
You drastically underestimate grass.
But he could just be a collector. Maybe he likes war movies or action movies and likes collecting the same ones that they used or built in the movies.
The south west is a red/orange desert of death with few patches of green. Nothing you say will change my mind! Fake AI video news! Seriously though, I was Mostly referencing: "There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass” attributed to Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamot in ww2. First thought I had when I saw 120 guns confiscated. Murica!!! Yeehaa!!!
I gonna cast doubt on collecting as a form of Fandom but I will welcome being wrong.
Oh good point. From a glance at the article, it looks like they mostly have appropriate potted plants, so yeah probably not much grass.
