No info on who made these arrests (which is suspicious, since certain agencies are grandstanding for publicity on this issue). As usual the guns are called "assault rifles" but in this context that term is useless in describing what kind of firearms were actually seized (machineguns? Semi-Autos? etc), and why only a measly 5 unspecified "pistols" in comparison to over 200 rifles?. Something is rotten with this story for certain...(S9)
