Dr arrested with cache of weapons

[enbloc]

"Among the items police say were recovered from Michael Bonanno's vehicle: assault rifles, handguns, ballistic helmet, body armor and more"

Can't he just say that he's a "Re-enactor" and was practicing for the re-enactment of the N. Hollywood Bank Robbery Shootout...?

I mean, come on, it works for the Revolutionary/Civil War/ WWII guys...

 

[Dennis in MA]

Every time the media reports something like this we always end up having a different definition of cache.........

Yeah. They don't pin it down but keep using the term. It's a . . . . . Cache-22.

 

[fshalor]

Ban Mouths.

Meh, that "huge cache" is like a slow day at the range for most of us.

Amateur.

 

[DW357]

Shit if that's a cache then I'd like to know what my collection would fall under...

And the media was saying how he had "hundreds of rounds of ammunition". So he had enough ammo for a range trip?

 

[shootymacshootface]

So he had ALMOST enough ammo for a range trip?

I fixed it.

 

[commodon]

Stunning? Huge? Really?

That's what she said!

Yup.......... Many if not most serious private collections exceed this “cache”.

But it is the body armor, stun guns, handcuffs, brass knuckles and such that really grabs the headlines,

 

[citoriguy]

When police searched Bonanno's car, they found five assault-style rifles fully loaded with high-capacity magazines, three handguns, 29 high-capacity magazines and over 1,600 rounds of ammunition, police said.

That's like what...a day at the range for most of us?

Jokes apart, I'm glad they got him before he did something really heinous.

Right on both counts

Guy's a little leaguer compaied to folks on NES. For some of us that's an afternoon trip to the range.

Arnt these sex toys???...........

 

[jasonj84]

How many pairs of brass knuckles could you possibly need?

I think at some point he was a collector first, and THEN he became a looney.

The justice system loves a well-to-do defendant because they can squeeze money out of him. By the time the state is done with him, he’ll be penniless and everything he owned will be taken.

In all fairness that was going to happen anyway. He was on the road to divorce if it wasn't already in progress. That in fact was probably part of the reason he wigged out. (my armchair analysis based on insufficient internet facts)

OK, so cache = 8
Now could we get some hard numbers for collection, hord, arsenal, and stash? I think we should all know where we fit in the spectrum.

FIFY.

Well, they were different colors, so maybe he was coordinating with his outfits.

29 high-capacity magazines?

Now we know his target was an entire county!
