Weed and some awesome weapons. I’m not seeing any crime here. FREE MCGRUFF!!
PopularSet4776@reddit
Yeah I am not seeing anything that IMO warrants prison.
Even if we decide maybe people shouldn't possess grenade launchers, how about just taking it from him and fining him. There is no evidence he was gonna use the thing on a person.

I love how every news article involving guns and ammo talks like that much ammo is a lot. A case off .22lr is over 6000 rounds.

My thought was the weapons were just to protect the weed. 1000 plants is a lot. lol
Weeds not even illegal anymore. That’s a long time for non violent crime.
dudemanspecial@reddit
It isnt legal to have 1000 weed plants without being a permitted grower in any state
username__0000@reddit
Sure, but going over the plant limit is not a crime that should put you in jail for 15 years.

In central Massachusetts in like the 2005 era or thereabouts, we had a parade in town. I was on cocaine with my neighbors and the police parade area went by and there was a mcgruff guy in a costume. I ran out into the parade and put my arm around mcgruff, I had a beer in my other hand. my neighbor got a picture of me. Someone must still have a copy, I'd give anything to have that and frame it for my house!

Mail_Order_Lutefisk@reddit
“Shall not be infringed…” - a grenade launcher is an arm, bro.
And 9000 rounds is nothing. Just a media scare tactic. “Oh no, I’m so scared, lock McGruff up forever…”
That dude was probably cool as hell provided he never snapped. Which he wouldn’t because he had 1000 plants.
Trelin21@reddit
Yeah, 9000 rounds is called buying in bulk. A good range day can chew through 500+.
It’s dumb to pay higher prices if you shoot often. Save that CPR!

If he got the tax stamp for the granade launcher, I really don't see where the rest of this is even a problem. I don't see a problem with home growing a little weed for your friends and/or to share with the community. 9000 rounds of ammo isn't that much. 200 rounds is a decent trip to the range. So what 45 trips, that's not even a years worth of ammo.

I don't know why the amount of ammo he had matters. I have a few thousand rounds because I buy some whenever I see it on sale and I don't have time to go shooting as often as I did when I was in my 20s.
WorstGasStationSushi@reddit
9000 rounds of ammunition doesn't seem newsworthy to me. I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind having a grenade launcher, and the 1000 weed plants probably helped keep those weapons nice and calm.
Now, if you add a couple lbs. of blow or meth, the whole picture changes.
MusicalTinnitus@reddit
Other than the 1000 weed plants and grenade launcher, I have a firearm collection and ammo stockpile that makes that seem small, he's gotta get those numbers up.
If your firearm collection couldn't arm a platoon size group of people, then you're not a very serious collector.
I personally know guys that have collections that are more that 10+ times the size of that guys collection, so I fail to see what the big deal was,.

You can own an under barrel grenade launcher with proper licensing in the U.S my local gun shop sells them. And you can own as many guns as you want. 9k rounds for 27 fire arms is a pretty low amount. The weed Distribution was the nail in the coffin since your prohibited from possessing a fire arms. And this law might change come June.
