500 pounds of ammo!
He looks pretty happy for being in such trouble
I noticed that as well!!! An SEG if I never saw one, & I have seen many!!!
Lets see another drug bust involving a felon with firearm. “….Felon in possession of firearm, prohibited person in possession of ammunition and violation of probation.” How many does that make this year?
The current gun laws, roughly 40 or so on the books are not being enforced! Do your jobs courts, probation officers, D.A.’s.
But no, what we will hear about time and time again…..we need more gun laws, more restrictions on guns. This will only impact the law abiding gun owners (the 98% of the gun owners in the U.S.), by further eroding our rights.
More like the laws only punish law abiding citizens and criminals could care less about laws. Who would have “thunk it “?
Not much respect for gun laws because there are very light consequences. Not many people fear jail time.
The law provides fairly harsh consequences for being a felon with a firearm. The COURTS do not impose them.
is that why is bail was only 150,000? why not ‘bail denied’?
God dam those are some dirty tweeked on firearms. Take them away and never let this person own a firearm again! Moron
I think it’s not that democrats want “more gun laws” per se, they want to prohibit the selling and possession of semi-auto assault type rifles. Maybe they’ll settle for a ban on selling them for now until something else happens then they’ll want all of them turned in and destroyed. But what they really really want is a banning of most type guns in the hands of civilians, period. This is actually backed up by recent poling and is of course the typical dem mo
show a link to these polls you speak of, where ‘they really, really want most guns banned from civilians, period.’ that sounds like you just made that up. Democrats have been in power before, but we don’t have laws restricting military grade assault rifles in most states. Innocent civilians will continue to be slaughtered because the NRA is more concerned about due process than it is about our piles of dead children. Somehow everyone is convinced that assault rifle bans are a slippery slope, but weekly or monthly school massacres are not…
The Sheriff’s Department sent out a correction. Rounds not pounds.
SHOULD BE NO BAIL!!!!! lock this trash up and throw away the key…..
👍🏼
I’m more concerned about law enforcement violating the sanctuary of ones privacy in there own home if I want to make bombs well that’s my business I’m not concerned about what’s in your home so each his own
He was on probation. He’s subject to a search as part of the agreement.
I would be extremely concerned if you were making bombs in your house.
All the essentials for riding out the winter in AP
No charges for the suppressors?
That is odd. I was wondering the same thing, unless they’re not functional.
Even if they aren’t functional, I would think possession of them is still illegal!!!
It is
Can’t say I see an assault rifle anywhere in that photo.
The one with the Bump Stock & the Pistol Grip looks very much like one to me!!! I could be wrong but, it has all the right parts & all!!!
And not an assault rifle in any case
It’s an arm brace for a pistol-length firearm. Legally considered a pistol in many states. Not here, though.
Define assault? Any semi auto OR does “evil” features only apply. Im confused?! OR….wait for it!…. is it ANY gun used by an evil person with malicious thoughts and actions?? Chew on that for awhile folks
Semantics… this is a felon on probation that is in illegal possession of multiple firearms. You could call them magic unicorns for all I care. This is the kind of person that shouldn’t own guns.
Just another peaceful marijuana user here folks, nothing to worry about. The weapons and bombs were to fight cancer or some other bull.

How do you know he was a “marijuana user”? Friend of yours?
Yep. Friend of many.
Well he was arrested in possession of 10 pounds of processed marijuana so that could be a clue.
There is no bump stock in the photo
That AK variant is now considered an assault weapon according to the new laws. Even with legal components and registration, 75 round drums are not allowed though.
He sure looks like a good ole boy, doesn’t he? I bet he has a few friends in the neighborhood.
Yes that is not a bump fire stock, but that rifle in general is a felony because of its short length. not to mention each one of the suppressors would be a felony regardless of past criminal history. Along with the grenades and the explosives. There’s a reason this kid is smiling in his mugshot, our court system is a fucking joke!
In other news, did you know that two SWAT members in Florida have been suspended from active duty for responding to the school shooting without “permission”. while the sheriff is adamantly sticking up for the four pansies that hid behind their car instead of going in!

And some people want to strip our rights to protect ourselves, so we can solely rely on police officers to do it for us.
Excellent point THC! The Sheriff is being a bit shifty in his response to questions. I watched the CNN town hall meeting when emotions were still raw from the event and the Sheriff was very evasive on questions regarding this response or lack of. Further, his office received many (up to 20 something) reports regarding this individual, one stating he wanted to be a school shooter. No response……..WTF! We don’t need more gun laws we need the people who are taking the reports and sworn to protect us to do their jobs, PERIOD!
This guy should have been put away long ago, at least in some sort of facility that could have managed his rage appropriately.
Or he’s smiling because of the fetal alcohol syndrome. Who keeps an arsenal like that at home while on searchable probation? My dumb cat is smarter than this fool…
Gibson and the pipe bomb sounds like a effed up children’s book,lol
There are plenty of people who are gun aficionados, just because he was outside the law does not make him a more violent or dangerous person. And he is not a angry person. I can’t stand how easy it is for people to cast judgment on someone they don’t even know.
