Little joke

A friend passed this to me, so I thought I would pass it on;

On the news this week was a story about a southern California man put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 1-million rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.

My favorite quote from the dimwit television reporter: "Wow! He has about a million machine gun bullets." The headline referred to it as a "massive weapons cache".

By southern California standards someone even owning 100,000 rounds would be called "mentally unstable."

Just imagine if he lived elsewhere:

In Arizona he'd be called "an avid gun collector".

In Arkansas , he'd be called "a novice gun collector".

In Utah , he'd be called "moderately well prepared", but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.

In Texas , he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy".

In Idaho , he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate".

In Wyoming , he'd be called "an eligible bachelor".

And, in Oklahoma , he'd be called, "my huntin' buddy".

I'm jealous of that fella.

I wonder what they'd say if he had about 65,000 primers and 275 pounds of powder too?

LOL. Probably an illegal ammunition factory. LOL

I believe it is illegal to keep that much powder in one location.

I don't have any idea who you guys are talking about.

All of my powder was lost in a tragic boating accident.

Wait... so they put him under psychiatric hold (sounds like a 72-hour EOD) precisely because they found out he had over 100 guns? I'm doubting that, somehow, but if he had some other issues going on and was found to have that much of a collection (cache? stockepile? compound???), then it could be a contributing factor.
