who the hell needs that many guns in there house in the first place
It’s no one’s business why someone had that many guns. It’s their right and asking that question just shows you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Last I checked this was still a free country.
while the second amendment allows us to “keep and bear arms”, i’m absolutely positive that a 22 year old needing that much weaponry is abundantly abusing his “freedom”.
The headline says Acushnet man, but then the article clearly states Rochester address.
The article says how many guns he stole.. Not that they were all from one house.
