It All Depends on the Meaning of the Word "Cache"

Authorities seized a small cache of weapons and ammunition from the New Jersey home of New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress...

The Post, citing anonymous law enforcement sources, said a 9-mm handgun, a rifle and ammunition for three other guns — a .380, a .45 and a .40, the same caliber of gun Burress accidentally shot himself with — were seized during the execution of a search warrant at Burress' home in Totowa. [More]
OK, at least we've established an "Authorized Journalist" benchmark of sorts.

A "cache" is larger than a "spate." I haven't figured out yet how either compare with an "arsenal."

If that's a cache, I might be in possession of an "arsenal." I sure hope the SAF and other pro-2a orgs help defend at least the home possession "crimes."

"Cache" sounds subversive and sinister. I don't think it can be a cache if it's in your home, unless you have a secret room or something.
This could be any of us, soon. What if you're stopped at a random "sobriety" checkpoint, they "notice" an equipment violation and issue a citation -- technically an arrest -- and find a gun while searching your car (which, as a technical arrestee, you no longer have the right to refuse)? They can get a warrant, search your house and take ALL your stuff on the grounds that it MIGHT have been or might be used in a crime.
That's when you'll need a "cache" somewhere else.
4th Amendment, bye-bye.
A declaration of war, in my opinion. No, I mean an invitation. The declaration was in 1993, April 16th.

Hey, give this fop some credit: at least he didn't write that police found ".45 millimeter" or "9-caliber" ammunition.

Otherwise, yeah, the same hysterical crap we know and love from the MSM.

After a good wide reciever is completely dismantled and humiliated and destroyed, then the anti-gun bunch will congratulate each other that they all did good. Meanwhile, a man's life will be kaput, not to mention probably his family, and he won't be able to defend his family or himself with a simple gun. It ain't just injustice, it's an outrage.

Without question the cops doing this raid thought they were bad asses. They were in this millionaire pro football player's home which is far nicer than anything they have. I'm willing to bet the conduct they displayed in that raid was to disrespect the private property of that person's home. The reason their conduct is that way is they hate the citizens and have circled themselves into a group of their own kind. That group manifest their egos to make their mental issues go away.

In my newspaper in Virginia today:
Florida boy, 11, shoots cousin, 10, to death accidentally.
Why do Virginians need to know about that incident 700 miles away?
Also, "A "camouflaged gunman" was killed during a standoff with police after he grabbed a small boy of the sidewalk and held him hostage in a restaurant."
3,000 miles away.
I guess the message is "Get guns out of your house" and "Militia wackos are back."
Odd how in my gun-saturated state, incidents like these are few.

Don't worry, comrade. Obama will save us from our rights.
