Gilgo Beach killings suspect Rex Heuermann has petitioned the court to reclaim more than 280 guns that were seized from his home in July so he can sell them and financially help his family while in jail.
It’s even crazier when it’s 200+ guns on Long Island, where general gun culture used to be next to invisible. Growing up there I had not seen a gun store until I moved to Florida, I’m sure they were there, just not all over or obvious, most people there used to not own guns, outside of all of the cops, it’s suburbia with little shitty areas and rustic areas sprinkled in between.
While that seems excessive to me, and I have 40+ guns, we don’t get to talk about “need” when discussing rights.
Think on it folks. Gun ownership is the only right outlined in the Constitution where people talk about “need”. That’s a bad path to start down.
(And for anyone wanting to argue to “rights” angle, the 2A exists and the courts uphold it as an individual right. Those are facts. We can discuss them, but ATM they are not open to debate as facts.)
And just for fun, no I cannot maintain, shoot, gunsmith, whatever, that many. I’m basically at my personal limit for what I can actually use. Still want a lever gat though!
280+ guns. TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY GUNS! Who the fuck needs 280+ guns?!
