Messed up story I just saw on CBS

[unloved]

Did anyone catch that story on CBS a few minutes ago? Something about "(GASP)over a hundred weapons in all along with over a thousand rounds of ammunition" being confiscated from some guy in Philly? They talked about "a SEAL gun capable of demolishing an SUV" while showing an FN FAL!

The worst quotes were: "they may not be illegal"
and some blather about how he "may have" gotten them(the firearms)online and had them shipped directly to his home WTF!!????

If he's not an FFL I don't think anyone online would ship him anything!

Did anyone see the whole story?

Police Find 'Mini-Arsenal' In Lawndale Home
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Police confiscated a large cache of weapons and ammunition from inside a Northeast Philadelphia home on Friday.

According to police, the incident began when a Lawndale homeowner was arrested for pointing a laser scope of a rifle at a neighbor during a dispute.

Police seized 74 handguns, 35 rifles and assault weapons and more than a 1,000 rounds of ammunition from a home in the 6400 block of Shelbourne Street.

The owner, Ernest Aguilera, was arrested early Friday morning following the dispute.

Investigators are attempting to determine if Aguilera purchased the weapons illegally and what his intentions were. Police said they did not find any terroristic or any other intentions.

The incident remains under investigation.

Yeah,WTF?

They were just doing the anti spin.

ETA: He screwed himself by pointing the gun at a neighbor without just cause.

The video on CBS' homepage is different. So you missed this little gem.

They show a clip of a PS90 then say "...Including a Navy SEAL gun that is capable of demolishing an SUV."

Thanks to those that posted links. I didn't realize that it was out there on the intrawebs already.

So, I'm thinking that this would be a perfect case to get another one of the Philly illegal "laws' struck down if this guy didn't actually point a rifle at anyone.

That's what it was! I said FAL but I'm not very familiar with FN's model designations. Thanks.
