Everybody panic? Oh. Wait. He only had two guns, some knives, and a set of brass knuckles. But not just any guns..<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A Bushmaster rifle with a night scope and pistol grip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Eeeek! A night scope and a pistol grip?! We&#8217;re all doomed!<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The trooper ordered him out of the truck and patted him down &#8212; which turned up several rounds of ammunition, including a .50 caliber rifle bullet, and a knife, police said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A single .50 cal bullet? Was it a whole cartridge? Or just the pointy bit? And, umm, what exactly is so scary about a round with no rifle to put it in? I&#8217;m betting it was probably inert and attached to a a key ring..<\/p>\n<p>But, yea, if you really want to fill up your PSH bingo card, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebostonchannel.com\/news\/18861378\/detail.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>State police said troopers found a 16-inch Bushmaster assault rifle,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>16 inch &#8220;assault rifle?&#8221; Umm, okay. Is that supposed to scare us because it&#8217;s too big or too small?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>a Remington 12-gauge shotgun with a pistol grip,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh noes! Another pistol grip! hide the women and children!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>seven 30-round magazine ammunition clips seven 30-round magazine ammunition clips and several boxes of ammunition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Magazine ammunition clips? Did his truck have a high powered automatic manual transmission gear shifter too?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The assault rifle and the shotgun had both been modified and each gun was equipped with laser sightings, the paper reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Modified with laser sighting?! Well. That&#8217;s it. I&#8217;m heading to the bomb shelter and waiting for the Apocalypse! The guy might be able to blind me if I stare at his lasers too long! That&#8217;s even scarier than Lite-Brites!!11!1one!eleventy!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Huizinga was charged with marked lanes violation, possession of a large-capacity firearm, possession of a firearm, seven counts of possession of high-capacity feeding devices, possession of a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of ammunition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now that seems a bit redundant. What&#8217;s next, charging him with being charged with a crime? Then charging him for the crime of being charged with being charged of a crime?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Huizinga could face federal charges, including transporting guns across state lanes and not having a license to carry firearms, the paper reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s funny. Federal law <strong>protects<\/strong> transporting firearms across State lines if the original and destination States don&#8217;t have ridiculous laws like, say, Massachusetts. Well, they&#8217;re supposed to anyway. This should be an interesting test case.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and, err, there&#8217;s no such thing as a Federal license to carry firearms. Good luck charging him with a non-existent crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just read on arfcom that some guy driving through Massachusetts to Maine got pulled over and cops searched him because they saw a gun case in his truck.
