Dude was also charged with trafficking opium. Must be old school as fuck.

PAGELAND, SC (WBTV) — A man was arrested in North Carolina after deputies estimate that they seized between 7,000 and 10,000 stolen guns from a house and warehouse near Pageland

The seized guns, ammunition, and hundreds of other items were all found Friday evening on a single property off of Highway 9 outside of Pageland city limits, which is about 3 miles from the NC border, said Chesterfield County Sheriff Jay Brooks.

Brooks says the guns alone filled one tractor trailer and ammunition filled another.

Nicholson was arrested and charged with possession of a stolen firearm and drug charges, including trafficking opium and heroin, earlier in the week in Union County. Deputies reportedly went to serve him with a subpoena Friday and noticed what appeared to be stolen goods in his front yard.

Brooks says 20 agents will be sifting through the evidence “piece by piece” starting Monday. Their goal will be to eventually find the rightful owners. Deputies estimate that 99 percent of the seized goods are stolen.

Brooks says Nicholson lived at the home where the items were found. It is believed that other people stole the guns for him.

...

Brooks called the items found a “menagerie” of stolen property which also includes 150 chainsaws, 4-wheelers, and taxidermy supplies.

a) This is why gun registries and periodic firearm checks are a good idea.
b) If you own a firearm, BUY A FUCKING SAFE.

Find me a better tool to prevent mass theft and straw sellers.

That's a compelling argument, I've never looked at it that way before.

You're the one coming up with ideas, do it.

But treating gun owners like criminals doesn't sit right with me.

To put this into perspective, there are bunkers in many European countries that house 5k-10k weapons for mandatory conscription in case of war.

Sorry, not gonna say that. I've served, and know it first hand. Granted, these weapons are meant to be only for municipality-wide or certain geographical area conscription, but still.

At times like this you're like fuck it, let Americans lie in their own shit. There is less training and regulation to have a car than there is to own a gun. If I owned a car that was stolen and I never bothered to report it, if I accumulated a shit tonne of parking tickets and I didn't have an alibi I'd probably be on the hook.
