Kelly Bato told police she suspected her father had come to her home to buy guns and ammo because he is a convicted felon in Connecticut, the report says. She also told police that she had been to her father’s Manchester home about a year before and he told her about a false wall he had contractors build in the basement, the report said. Police found the hidden wall just where Kelly Bato had described, Moss wrote. Shelves were stacked with scoped rifles, butt stocks, barrels, firearms tools, handguns and ammunition wrapped in plastic, materials to make ammunition and instructional books on altering weapons, the report said. Also found were three handgun receivers with no serial numbers, which are illegal in Connecticut, police said.

So? Jack.
Rat? Vermin? Him or the daughter? I vote him:
Bato’s criminal record includes a 2013 conviction for second-degree manslaughter for which he was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Bato struck a bicyclist while driving drunk in East Hartford on the evening of Sept. 1, 2011, according to articles in The Courant. At the time of the fatal accident, Bato had two previous drunken driving convictions in the state.

What was his felony conviction for?
Edit: found it at the end. Killing a dude while drunk driving. 3rd conviction. F him.

“Also found were three handgun receivers with no serial numbers, which are illegal in Connecticut, police said.”
Why is this a thing? The handgun receivers were in NH, right. WHOGAS if they’re illegal somewhere else.

I've had several ghost guns. No one's ever said boo.
Not to mention the ID theft of his own daughter. She would have been in a world of hurt if it had gone down differently and her name was on the purchase of the weapons. Straw purchase for a felon? Pretty sure the old 'I didn't do it' plea would hold a lot of water.

The search and arrest were made at his Manchester, Connecticut home.
That being said, the article includes:
Paul Bato, 54, faces charges that include criminal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of an assault weapon and possession of illegal high-capacity magazines, police said. Bato, of 536 Birch Mountain Road, also is charged with violating a state law on possession of “ghost guns," which lack serial numbers. He was free after posting bail of $200,000 and was to appear in court on July 7, officials said.
Last I knew, "ghost guns" weren't illegal to posess in CT.

Exactly. Prove otherwise.
Manchester, CT? Goddamn New England. They have 100,000 towns and 15 town names to go around.

It's a geographically beautiful state - but it's been ruined by its Democratic government.
I voted with my feet - and I'm much happier with Georgia's government.
