Police seize large haul of firearms in Monto

Sounds like these three guys may be in a bit of trouble....328 guns and over four tons of ammunition were seized in central Queensland. “While some of the weapons were determined to be registered, a significant proportion of the guns were illegal, modified or converted in some way.”

Other than some being illegal, it's sounds like a somewhat normal collection for many.

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Looking at the photos they chose to post, I see bolt actions with integral magazines, single-shots, hinge actions, semis with integral magazines, revolvers... looks like "military style weapons and handguns" are in the minority.

Like this one that was modified for use in candy land.

Some guy on files did a rough calculation of 7.62x39 at roughly 292K rounds give or take. Many guys I know on the mainland have ammo in this kind of quantity but in Hawaii space would be a major issue for starters even if it was cheap.
