Norco-This time is was a house fire. Responding firemen found a garage full of ammunition and called the cops. The result was the total confiscation of the owner, 62 year-old, Thomas McKiernan's property. Of course an imbecile from KTLA-TV news had to sensationalize this and portray the quiet owner as some kind of terrorist. There’s obviously is no right to keep and bear arms in the Bolshevik Republic of California.
I have a question for TV reporter Bill Smith. What exactly is a, “machine gun bullet”? Don’t bother answering Bill, we know that you don’t have a clue what you’re babbling about.
Sit back and watch KTLA-TV throw gasoline on this fire.

Just what is "too much" ammo anyway? Personnaly, I have "thousands" of rounds of ammunition. Yeah, four bricks of .22, maybe 4 boxes of .357, some boxes of rifle rounds and shotgun shells, and don't forget the 1,000 bullets and primers, along with a pound of gunpowder to reload target bullets. There are plenty of people who would think I'm crazy. Personally, I don't think I am. Guns don't wear out like a pair of shoes. Buy a rifle one year, a pistol the next, you still have them. Besides, guns are fine pieces of machinery and worth collecting....at least I think so.
If there is a law broken, the only one I can see would be a fire code violation for volatile material storage. Otherwise, owning firearms and ammunition is a guaranteed right under the Constitution....or at least it's supposed to be.
Assuming this man has not been convicted of a felony, will he get his weapons and ammo back?
I must've missed the part of the CA Penal Code that says it's illegal to possess ammunition in your own home.
Or to have a loaded rifle (or twenty) in your own home...
Or to have black-powder in your own home...
Or to have barrels of food in your own home...
Or to make your own basement in your own home...
What a bunch of fascists.
Cops like those guys make me cringe at being a retired cop. I hope the man sues them and takes every cent they ever tried to have and anything else they own. They can't go to New Orleans and kick around a 62 year old lady and STEAL her antique revolver. So they'll probably steal eveything that guy owned.
As for black powder storage, so what? The gasoline in automobile gas tanks is in fact just as dangerous than this guy’s 75 lbs black powder.
Only an imbecile would demonize a gun collector as “fringe character”. Suggesting David Koresh was somehow evil because members of his group were gun dealers and such is an outrage. Koresh was nothing more or less than a person engaged in constitutionally protected activities in America. Clinton Administration criminals murdered Koresh and his followers. They should be brought to justice for their despicable mass-murders
