It would appear the family of a Vietnam Vet reported him to authorities after helping clean out their home according to the police report. The police removed dozens of pieces of pieces of what appears to be inert ordinance along with dozens of WWII era rifles and even some super scary swords. The explosives were all demilled and Inert as a majority of those were or had blue markings and the ones that weren’t were just painted to look correct. I didn’t see a crime committed or hear of any threats made. Theres literally thousands of Veterans around the country who legally collect the same relics and memorabilia from past conflicts or those in which they had served. From the photos it all looks like Old WWII rifles. There were no machine guns as the media is trying to portray.
According to abc6 Authorities spent the better part of Thursday evening clearing out enough weapons to carry out a small scale war.
The owner’s intent is not clear, but authorities say he’s now being checked out at a psychiatric ward.
Authorities descended on the home in the 400 block of Houston Road in Lower Gwynedd Township.
The home, neighbors say, belongs to a Vietnam vet who apparently had a penchant for collecting weapons.
From Chopper 6, authorities could be seen carrying out dozens of rifles, boxes of ammunition and even an array of bombs and mortars – much to the shock of neighbors.
“Very scary. Now I have a little bit more anxiety, to be honest with you. Thank God they’re getting all that out of the house,” said Brian Kelly.
“I was watching them carry out rifle after rifle, machine guns, some that look like a mortar,” said another neighbor, Bill Kasencher.
Authorities set up tables to catalogue all the material removed from the home. One of their SUVs was stuffed with rifles they removed, cases and cases of ammo and even a couple of swords…
This all looked inert. Notice how they were casually walking around the so called “Bombs” and just laying them on the concrete. Had these been live we’re 100% sure that neighborhood or at least a couple blocks would have been evacuated with a quickness and cordoned off. More than likely this would appear to be a photo op for the news chopper hanging around.
It seems that this was just another case by the media to demonize a legal gun owner and collector.
