“Weapons of war” found in a hotel room in Chicago

[Saltwater60]

This article and comments from these politicians are just freaking insane. Maybe the guy was up to no good maybe not. I think it’s fair to say he was but still.

An Iowa man is facing two felony charges after a loaded handgun and rifle were found in his Chicago hotel room July 4, near where hundreds of families were celebrating the holiday, prosecutors said.

More than 5,300 guns have been seized by Chicago police so far this year, an increase of more than 23% over the past year, according to records obtained by NBC 5.

The records, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, show that police seized a total of 5,352 firearms between Jan. 1 and June 16, an increase of 23.43% over the same time period in 2020.


Yet they make a big deal out of the white guy with guns,


Probably was up to no good, but lets apply that favorite socialist word of equality.

Lets see the breakdown by race of who they seized them from.

If it's 90% black, than it must be a systemically racist law they're using to do it, and they're going to have to eliminate it.

"Casteel, who lives in Ankeny, Iowa, was released after paying a $1,000 cash bond. He doesn't have any previous criminal history or issues in federal databases, Brown said."
That tells me a lot, if they really had anything on him he wouldn't be out on just a grand and they wouldn't let him travel back to Iowa.

If a .308 is a weapon of war they'd have conniption fits with just what I have in my bedroom.

Love the "high powered scope" comment too. How much you want to bet it's a whole 4x-12x magnification if that.

 

[drowhawk]

Aren't weapons of war appropriate in war zones?

I'm confused.

 

[Dr. Evil]

A high powered scope? I see the writer didn't sleep in during the sensationalism class in school. From the article it seems the whole situation could have been avoided with this:

I'm wondering just how legal the search was, when you rent a room that is considered your property. Just because a maid went in and nosed around and then reported and let the police in doesn't mean it was a legal search. Fruit of the poison tree and all that shit. I can see this ending up like many NYC gun cases, plea it down and pay a fine and they keep the guns.

For certain it was not an AR-15 .... If it was it would be front and center during this presser

From the comments section in WA PO

Brought a sniper rifle to his hotel. With multiple magazines. And he paid a small amount in bail to get out and is walking free.

Funny. Traveling for business out of state next weekend. 9mm and a SxS 12.

This narrative; "Weapons of War". Gotta dig deep and wonder, what do these people mean by that statement?

I have had the pleasure of being in a few different places, oversees at different times. I carried and used all sorts of different tools of my trade.

I have gone on some oversees adventures with a Beretta M9, chambered in 9mm. Is this a weapon of war? I think not, but these terms are being put out there to convince the sheep of America that all weapons are "Weapons of War".


As for the story, the wording of it makes it seem that it was written by a six year old child.

C'mon man, tell a better story to push your propaganda!

Whenever I hear that phrase I hear "the exact sort of weapons protected by the 2A".

A better argument could be made that weapons not useful to a military aren't covered.

You could convince me it doesn't apply to pepper spray or Tasers faster than you could that Artillery and machineguns aren't protected.


It was written by people who just fought a war over the governments attempt to confiscate some cannons.


You don’t hunt deer or repel burglars with cannons. They really are exclusively weapons of war.

I'm pretty sure if you went to burglarize @Robin, he could repel you with his cannon.

But to another point mentioned, when I travel, I specifically state "no housekeeping". If I need extra towels or anything, I will ask at the desk

 

[Robin]

BOOM!
Robin

They may have obtained a warrant first.

Look up what is used in cannons, grape, chain, bar, some devastating stuff.

Yeah, you set one up in the street and it will still work as advertised.

Think how many deer, bison, etc, you could get with 1 shot.
