    The best part is, it sounds like they arrested him and seized his guns, all without a shot being fired.

    I would love to know why this guy felt he needed so many guns and ammo, because obviously it wasn’t to protect himself from a hostile government.

      Perhaps the thing he was worried about wasn’t peacefully being arrested.

      Perhaps the reason this got resolve peacefully is because any violence would have been felt heavily by both sides.

      Collector maybe? The article makes it sound like they may have been legally acquired prior to him being barred from owning them. That cache may have been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from the machine guns alone.
