Seizure in Spain... wow, just wow.

[Squadron303]

My heart actually skipped a beat...

 

[mark k]

I thought it looked like a reasonable collection. Nothing particularly dangerous. Just man toys.

 

[Robbs]

Looks like a lot of older and newer CETME rifles. A bunch of Spanish rifles in Spain, what is the big deal?

 

[Armafield]

I guess the Government can't have any competition.
"All right then, send in the police."

 

[Planetmail 12]

If only that was a preview of the inventory to blow out for the upcoming Easter sale here in Calgary.

And a 32 Webley.

 

[m39a2]

Yes, I noticed that little 1906 Webley Auto, I could always use another one.

Not a single live gun, all deactivated.

Seizure "justified" by the change in deactivation requirements for new deacs by the EU last year.

Think of it being the Spanish version of the 858 & 858 "Spartan" story.

They were legal yesterday, today we changed our mind...

 

[Desert_Fox]

The government doesn't dare lose its monopoly on power, money and violence.....

All because of changes to the deac rules, because of Islamic Terrorist attacks... making Europe safe for theocra..... erm... democracy!!

 

[Awsum O]

A little bit of everything to make it through a Zombie Apocolypse

 

[freezer filler]

Looks like they were playing Jenga with rifles.

 

[TylerM]

There were some very rare rifles and accessories in that mix.

Off to the steam roller they go...

I could cry my eyes out...... R.I.P. G3's/CETME's.

If only that was a preview of the inventory to blow out for the upcoming Easter sale here in Calgary.

The ONLY way that's gonna happen? If the West separates from the Eastern half of the country and the RCMP are no longer recognized as LEO's in the Western half but disbanded and expelled.

Looks like they were playing Jenga with rifles.

Impressive collection; Nice monte cristo box doing what it was meant to do after the cigars are gone. Maybe someone doesnt believe that the Basque conflict is over.

 

[Nyles]

Star 1920 at 2:16, not an easy gun to find...

 

[Trimmer 905]

The article makes a big deal out of a seizure of dewat firearms and claims "criminals" were stock piling in a gun shop as a "front" ,but,makes no mention as to who the "crooks" were or whether there were terrorist connections. Strange that.

 

[Prairie Plinker]

Seized firearms from a firearm enthusiast who decided to put all his savings into cigar boxes instead of a bank. Nothing to see here....

Seriously though, how much time and money was spent stacking those rifles all nice like for a feel-good photo-op?

 

[tootall]

I noticed that the stacks are hollow.
Only two rifles per layer, not 10 or 12 per layer.

The jihadists might be the customers but I will bet it is home grown European white boy gangsters doing the supplying.

Yes, agreed. I think you are spot on with that!

 

[Cameron SS]

What a breath taking display. But they must be doing something wrong cause there wasn't a single Spartan...
