It's safe to say that if some people here ever got raided, just by the sheer numbers, it would make the national news.

2 cases of .22 = OVER TEN THOUSEND ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION.

At one point, I had well over ten times that amount. Just a habit of buying a couple bricks whenever I went to a place that had ammunition if nothing else. It was cheap back then and sometimes there would be special sales. This was prior to all the ammo shortages. I'm down to well under half of what it used to be between new shooters, donations and swapping.

Channel 25 is reporting: "Many of the guns seized in the raid didn’t contain a serial number."

That would make sense in thier eyes as there's about 9 pistol lowers sitting there without the upper and serialized FCU.
 
Lol WTAF...

"Authorities conducted the raid after Medina set off an explosive device that damaged two vehicles, Tucker’s office continued. He then returned to hide the damage using spray paint."


"Sorry i blew a hole in your car with this pipe bomb, imma cover dat up wit some paint. "

More likely homemade fireworks, tossed on the ground and sprayed gravel that damaged the paint on someone's car.

The tyrants in power will ALWAYS exaggerate the issue to justify their heavy-handed response. But they'll NEVER speak a word against their actions when they kill someone for some minor violation of a law.

FVCK THE GESTAPO!!!!

Other issues aside, it wouldn't shock me to find out that the guy was just trying to make some really loud fireworks for the 4th. [halfmast]

The real travesty is that ten miles north of there, none of this would be a crime.

Not even 10 miles. More like 5-6 miles as the crow flies. Why the Hell didn't he move rather than risk incarceration? 🤔

On the other hand, the guy clearly lived in an apartment. Setting off a rather large homemade firecracker between cars in the parking lot is not cool... even in NH. [laugh]
 
2001 B&E night time for felony, larceny over 250, and destruction of property over 250. All felonies, guilty. Haverhill District Court. There is more of a record as well. A few A&B PO and A&B DW.

Current case is in Lawrence District Court

It's not going to be very exciting... this guy is probably going to suck for a plea to reduce or limit jail time. It will never see a full trial.

This will probably get kicked up to Superior Court. He has a shit record involving assaultive behavior and drug offenses. I can see Armed Career Criminal coming into play. No final jurisdiction in District court for the large capacity or machine gun possession charges anyway.

So what are the odds you think the feds will suck him up for ACC?

Probably small. Very small. There is a state ACC equivalent. I once had a codefendant facing that charge.

That I didnt know. I knew the feds were always lazy in terms of picking up people on FIP and that sort of thing.

This. And my stash of primers, bullets and powder = "cache of military grade explosives manufacturing components typically used in illegal bomb making activities"

Meanwhile, my bags of lawn fertilizer and cans of gasoline would be overlooked even though that would likely yield a much better explosion....

I see in this story it's been downgraded to a "small arsenal."

Assault and battery and he loses constitutional rights for life

Doesn’t seem moral

Which one of you is Daniel Medina?

From Explosives, large gun arsenal found in North Andover raid of a home

A police raid on a home in North Andover found several guns, ammunition and homemade explosives, Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker’s office announced.

The raid was conducted on a home at 59 Village Green Drive, the home of Daniel Medina, 64, Tucker’s office said in a statement released Wednesday.

Authorities conducted the raid after Medina set off an explosive device that damaged two vehicles, Tucker’s office continued. He then returned to hide the damage using spray paint.

During the raid, police found more than 30 guns, many of which did not have serial numbers, the district attorney’s office said. Medina’s license to carry weapons expired in 2000.

Medina appeared in Lawrence District Court on Wednesday and was charged with five counts each of being a felon in possession of a firearm, possessing and improperly storing an automatic rifle and vandalizing property, Tucker’s office said.

He pleaded not guilty and was ordered help without bail. Medina is scheduled to return to court on July 12.
