A Queens man kept an arsenal in his one-bedroom apartment — stockpiling 225 pounds of gunpowder, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, loads of bullet-making equipment, licensed handguns and assault rifles that were unsecured as well as bullet-proof vests, authorities said.
The Rego Park resident is accused of amassing enough deadly weapons and ammo to take on a small army, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. The suspect was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless endangerment and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon after he was busted in his apartment less than two blocks away from an elementary school.
In total, he was caught with 14 handguns; two loaded shotguns; one rifle; approximately 45,000 rounds of ammunition for a variety of weapons; 225 pounds of smokeless gun powder stored in various containers and open to view; unassembled parts for an AR-10 and AR-15 assault rifles, three high-capacity magazines — one fully loaded with 20 rounds and each capable of holding in excess of ten rounds of .308 caliber ammunition — two Kevlar body armor vests, six Kevlar armor plates, one ammunition press, numerous primers, empty cartridges, and several other devices and components related to weapons ammunition.
“Alone, the amount of gunpowder discovered was capable of igniting and causing significant damage to not only the defendant’s apartment but to neighboring apartments and the building’s exterior walls, as well as injuring or killing anyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity,” Brown said.
