Local man buys 200,000 AR's.

If PA had a one gun per month law it would have taken 16,666 years to buy those guns!

LOL! Gotta love it.

How could you even begin to store that many guns??

Do you have access to the full article? The Press Enterprise requires a user name and password for online access.

200,000 AR's at a purchase price of $500 each would require an investment of 100 million dollars. I don't think he has that type of mortgage or credit card limit. If his name were Magee, Katerman or perhaps a couple of other wealthy families from Bloomsburg; he may be able to swing the investment.

The full article would be interesting to read.

I bought the paper but the article is too long for me to retype it. The man is actually from Montoursville, PA he but was at the Benton gun show. The Bloom paper covers the general area of Benton, Bloom, Berwick, etc.

I found his home address online.
Zillow has it at $170,277
Bedrooms:3 beds
Bathrooms:1 bath
Single Family:1,260 sq ft
Lot:131,115 sq ft
Year Built:1966

I think the reporter has their notes out of order, 250K for the mortgage and credit cards is more likely. It is still a daring move on his part that may net him a huge profit.

He should be hitting some of the larger gun shows near Philadelphia or Pitt to move his inventory asap.

How many guns to the Branch Davidians buy before the ATF decided they bought too many? I'm doubting this guy buy 250,000 firearms and hasn't been visited.

Here is a list of BD's firearms inventory:

Suffice to say, if the story were true, he would have been visited by a few drones already...

The FBI also determined that two AR-15 lower receivers had been modified to fire in full automatic mode.

My bet is a typo and would say he bought 250k dollars worth of guns. Don't think the mans house was worth 250k AR's.

Exactly my thoughts..

Some good investigative work by some of you. Seems to me that if the paper screwed up that badly, which seems likely, that some reporter will be relegated to "cub" status.

[addicted2freedom]

Brilliant move. Gun sales spiked in 2008 when Obama won. Was guaranteed this time around again, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together like this guy. DOH!

That was my first thought when I read the thread title...

LMAO....
