Where's the crime?

In Massachusetts a man is arrested for possession of 30,000 rounds of ammo. The man claims the ammunition is for target practice.
That is hard to believe, the prosecutor at Garcia's arraignment said, because if he were to fire a gun for eight hours a day, it would take weeks for him to use all of it.
They charged him with "three counts of possession of a high-capacity firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and illegal storage of a firearm." The real reason for this arrest is the ATF and Local Law Enforcement believed he was going to ship the ammo out of the country, or that's the excuse. But 30,000 being too much for target practice? Bullshit. Garcia, the arrestee was doing what so many of us are doing under the Obama Administration: stockpiling against lean times to come.

David Codrea repeats the question asked by Garcia's attorney. "Where's the crime?" It's the People's Republic of Massachusetts, that beacon of enlightened gun control, and that should answer all your questions.
