I didn't know where else to post this, but thought this might do. Thought maybe you guys would be interested.
SEATTLE, WASH.
A man who kept a massive arsenal of Vietnam-era machine guns, grenades and plastic explosives in a suburban storage locker is merely a loner with some unusual political views, his lawyer said Friday.
Nevertheless, U.S. Magnistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler ordered Ronald Struve detained pending trial on gun and explosives charges. She determined that the 65-year old from Spokane posed a risk of flight and danger to the community.
Struve stored 37 machine guns, two grenade launchers, 54 grenades and C-4 plastic explosives in the storage locker in Bellevue, east of Seattle. After he failed to pay his storage fees, someone else bought the contents of his locker at auction and alerted federal agents. With some difficulty, they traced the weapons to Struve and arrested him Jan.7.
"The size and scope of this arsenal is troubling." Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Woods told the Judge.
Well, no shizen Sherlock! That's my answer to Mr. Woods! Imagine buying a locker of stuff unseen and opening it to see all that! :o :o
