Man who had more than 200 firearms at home pleads guilty

Wow. A dope head that can afford to legally buy 200 guns? That's impressive. You don't see that too often.
 
Meth + guns--what could possibly go wrong?


A Rhode Island man who had more than 200 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition at his home pleaded guilty on Wednesday to lying to federal authorities about his drug use when he purchased the weapons.
Ronald Andruchuk, 38, admitted that he was an unlawful user of controlled substances, including cocaine, when he purchased the weapons, and that he misled the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives when he wrote on agency forms that he was not an unlawful drug user, U.S. Attorney Zachary Cunha said in a statement.
Under a plea deal, Andruchuk will forfeit 219 guns, more than 25,000 rounds of ammunition and other items seized by police at the Burrillville home that he shared with his wife and three children, prosecutors said. The guns will be destroyed.
Police went to the home last February to invesigate complaints from neighbors about gunfire. They said that as officers arrived, they heard gunshots and bullets passing over their heads. Andruchuk was found to be in possession of methamphetamine at that time, and he was arrested on a charge of firing in a compact area, prosecutors said. A federal search warrant served at the home turned up more than 200 unsecured weapons strewn about the house and more drugs.

The ATF reviewed firearm transaction records that Andruchuk filled out on Nov. 17, 2021, and Dec. 11, 2021, while attempting to buy firearms at two Rhode Island gun stores and discovered he had falsely claimed he was not “an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance," prosecutors said.


Hmmmmmm....I wonder who else lied about his drug use when he filled out the Federal Background check form.....? Hmmmmm....seems like he was quite a well known guy...
 
A lesson for patriots here: you must know the law, both federal and state, and even local, with respect to firearms.

This is really a task for a group, with access to a decent lawyer.

But this is a good start:
[ Gun law in the United States - Wikipedia ]
[ Gun laws in the United States by state - Wikipedia ]

Your homework for today: you decide to move to the delightful town of Boulder, Colorado, along with your AR15 (with its 20-round magazines) and your Glock 9mm with its 33-round magazine.

Will you be legal? Se above.
