Two high-powered rifles, two bayonets, a sword, a knuckle knife, body armor and ammunition. Included in the 100 rounds of ammunition were 27 so-called "tank buster" .50 caliber armor-piercing shells were recovered at Lawrence Mulqueen's home
Mulqueen's landlady had tipped off police after she found a "hit list" posted on Facebook that threatened Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) and all members of the Congressional Black Caucus..
Mulqueen, 49, was arraigned Thursday on charges of making terroristic threats, illegally possessing weapons and harassment.
Police were called Wednesday afternoon by Mulqueen's landlady, who said he'd been harassing her. She tipped them to Mulqueen's alleged threats, made on a Facebook page under a pseudonym, police said.
A Nanuet man is accused of making death threats on Facebook against the governor of New York, the mayor of New York City and several members of Congress, Clarkstown Police said.

(53,661 posts)Which one is a felony? Or are all of them? Aren't terrorist threasts under federal law and handled by Homeland Security? How often are people charged with terrorist threats in other cases, I wonder? Would it be stalking or harrassment?
I got a feeling this guy is going to a psychiatric facillity and not jail, really. And we may never know about the results, either. At least no one was killed or maimed off of this one.

(20,899 posts)this man had acquired and how many of that ilk listen to one or more of the stochastic terrorists who preach hate and anarchy around the clock, prodding their audience. Houston, do you see a problem with this mixture?

By all means though, lock that freak up and get him some treatment.

(33,982 posts)I can't imagine a 'room full' of anything being that small.
Translate the weight of those firearms into 1lb bricks of weed. If the cops busted a place and found about 15 1lb bricks of weed, would that be a 'room full'?
BainsBane
(53,056 posts)that looks like a LOT of weapons. Weed is not guns. They are hardly analogous.
AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)Two. Two rifles.
The rest is just stupid shit. Bayonets? Why not count the contents of his knife block?
All that shit would fit in your standard grocery sack.
BainsBane
(53,056 posts)They looked huge. Edit: Armour piercing, I guess. Bad news.
AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)Legal in rifle rounds, because for the purposes of the police, all rifle rounds are armor piercing.
I should say, legal as long as none of it was armor-piercing pistol ammo. That is quite illegal. (Ordinarily, pistol rounds will not pierce a bullet-resistant vest)
None of those large rifle rounds fit in either rifle pictured. Wonder if he has something in a storage facility somewhere, or stored at a friend's house.
That ammo pictured is 12.95mm x 138mm (.50BMG)
The bottom rifle fires Edit: REDACTED. I'm not sure WHAT that thing fires, on closer inspection. Might be a 6mm? WTF is that? Looks a little bit Japanese or maybe Russian. This video is blurry as shit.
Top rifle is a lever gun, old school, new clothes. Probably a .30-30, or something like that. The rounds look large, like .45-70 government, but the scope would be totally useless, as that caliber has a trajectory like a rainbow, so it's likely just a proportion/illusion thing.
Assuming .30-30, that's 7.8mm x 51mm.
Edit: what the hell, none of those bayonets are for either rifle. This is like the island of misfit weapons.
BainsBane
(53,056 posts)the right ammo for his guns. He obviously is a bit unhinged, probably from listening to Rush and Beck.
AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)Maybe he is that bent, but seems like he'd be pretty hard pressed to be that whacky... I mean, those rounds are an order of magnitude larger than either rifle would accept.
If I were the cops, I'd be talking to all his friends, relatives. It seems likely he has access to a .50 caliber weapon somewhere, even if he doesn't own it.

(33,982 posts)49 years old? Convicted felon with at least 2 counts of firearm possession? Plus the threats and such? He's done.
Wonder where he got the guns in New York... He didn't buy them legally, that's for damn sure.
(One source reports the top weapon as a 1 "Remington .35-caliber pump-action rifle loaded with 6 rounds", which could be true, except the pump bit, because it's obviously a lever-action)

ZombieHorde
(29,047 posts)I don't think that is a lot weapons to the average US citizen. I think most gun owners, at least where I live, own more than one gun.
To call that a roomful seems silly to me. That might fill the shelf in my bedroom closet.

(4,987 posts)to weed out nuts like these. I would go so far as to require bi-annual renewal of license to own firearms and a short interview. OTOH single black women living in crime infested areas are most vulnerable to home invasions, muggings & rapes and must have easy access to a defensive firearm.
JohnnyRingo
(18,640 posts)...so he did something that made the govt come get his guns. That's both ironic and moronic.
I still have mine because I'm not completely insane. Hahahaha

(7,875 posts)Just for everyone's information, the title on YouTube is Man equipped with Full of high-powered Assault Weapons Has Kill List of Obama's Supporters. I made a slight alteration so that it would make some sort of sense. (Attempting to guess what the OP was trying to say) IT AIN'T MY VIDEO FOLKS- I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT A DIFFERENT TITLE.
