Wait, I thought 1 gun a month was a minimum?"Wow! That's 38 months worth of guns." said Dipshit Patrick.
I guess I have been doing it wrong...

Grow upAnd why do you need to have many damn weapons lol.
wow a useless fight with a girl and lost your rights to own fire arms. this is GREAT!!! -_-" Come on man girls are all over the place, dump this one and find a new one. Jesus chirst. And why do you need to have many damn weapons lol.
3. OK. What's the magic number of weapons that one can acquire before one has "too many"?
Please tell me that you're joking.
1. Fights are one thing. Assault is another. The girl may or may not be an idiot, but HE tried to choke her.
2. I don't recall seeing a Jesus Chirst mentioned in the article.

This!!The problem with the story is the guns had nothing to do with what ( alleged) happened. Why not report the guy owned 27 pairs of steel toe boots?

Well, as much room as i will leave for just about anything to have actually happened, I'd never presume to know what went through her head.
It's one thing to call the police when a 'stranger' attacks you, but someone with whom you are in a relationship things get very complicated.
For all we know, she could have been considering the hot poker he'd be impaled on for having 38 guns and having lost it with his SO (and thinking this was more than he deserved). Anything from BS, to battered woman syndrome to genuinely stopping to think about the consequences of her actions is possible...
I don't think that part of the scenario proves or demonstrates anything other than the expected complexity of domestic violence.
FTR, the appropriate punishment for assaulting your SO is indeed impalement on a hot poker if proved...
What business is it of yours how many guns he (or anyone else) owns?And why do you need to have many damn weapons lol.
This!!
WTF, Absolutely correct. The guns had nothing to do with this incident. What if he had been hoarding bullion of some sort and survival gear, would he be called nutcase for that. Hell, because we have a love for our guns and collect them, that is not a crime, but it is by way of the MSM's point of view. I collect coins also, because of having several hundred, am I a criminal. F_ _ _ them!!
He's screwed on the assault and "Sawed off shotgun " charge, that is what they are going to bend him over on. Because of that he will lose all his weaps. If he was charged with assault and only that, he might have a chance of keeping them, but the SBS, BATF is going to nail him.
Loosing all that over a gal and some schlitz, he doesn't deserve to own guns. You gotta keep your cool and walk from stupidity, as gun owners, we have too much on the line and there are way too many that want to pounce on the opportunity to screw us.
My daddy always told me..."you never hit women or children."
why do you need to have many damn weapons lol.
This is the part that boggles my tiny little mind:
So, the boyfriend chokes her, & then they figure they'll go down to the packie for some Schlitz?
Well, look on the bright side. He didn't shoot her...
{insert facepalm here...}

vietboy1st;14470 And why do you need to have many damn weapons lol.[/QUOTE said:because he wanted them. there is a difference between wants and needs. but alas he is screwed because of the sawed off shotgun, a definite no no. you also never hit a woman or child.
I understand what you're saying, cekim, and don't entirely disagree, but given the totality of the situation I find the behavior (of both parties) more than a little odd. If I ever found myself in a relationship that escalated to physical violence I would have exited that relationship ASAP. I certainly wouldn't have hung around for round 2.
Way too much drama and excitement for an old guy like me!
While I think the comments and coverage of the arsenal are ridiculous, I have to say that the guns he owns aren't TOTALLY irrelevant to the fact that he's charged with assault and possession of a 'sawed off shotgun'. The shotgun at least raises a question about what other guns he owns, and whether or not they're legal, etc.
There is also the matter of a state that has charged people with all sorts of things that definitively fail on even cursory inspection of the press photos of the 'arsenal' in question.But the headlines of 38 gun arsenal blow it way out of proportion. The story says he was charged with the sawed off shotgun but never mentions that he legally owned the other 37.
Saying "Man who legally owned 37 guns, charged with illegally owning one other one." would not be 'entertaining enough' and might make it sound like some poor schlepp made a small mistake.
I wonder if they took out the 'short ruler' and found that his shotgun was 1/16 of an inch too short. It's been known to happen.
If he in fact had a sawed-off shotgun then he is in violation of federal law. That would distinguish him from the law-abiding citizens whose rights we all support and defend.
That being said, I take any such allegations in the press with a huge grain of salt. They don't know a sawed-off shotgun from a field gun. Sometimes the police don't either.
not condoning him putting his hands on her, BUT...
i still fail to see what "A" has to do with "B"??? at no point did she ever say that he threatend her with a gun... i always find this to be the stupidest cause for seizure of guns. And IMO until they can prove he assulted her, he has not violated the law, but this is MA...
So he chokes her, then she decides: "okay, lets go to the store"??? What a dumbass...These two were made for one another....Ten bucks says they'll announce their nuptials soon....
