1. So he wasn't arrested for "a large cache of guns," but for possession of stuff

that is as tightly controlled under current law as explosives, tanks, howitzers, and poison gas. That's a 10-year Federal felony per violation.

You are aware that machineguns have been super-tightly controlled since 1934 and new ones were completely banned in 1986, yes?

5. I find it strange he got only $45000 bond for 20 machine guns.

That sounds awfully...inconsistent. :shrug:

2. Unrec for dishonest headline

He was arrested for having unregistered machine guns and other restricted items without the proper documentation.

repeats a lie he got from the Wall Street Urinal.

6. So what?

You linked to it, you posted it without noting the inaccuracy.

7. It isn't an inaccuracy

If it is repeated long enough , then it becomes common knowledge . Like ," Bush made machines gun legal " , " I had to lay it down " , and " bats will get tangled in your hair " .
