26 guns at home of man accused of Calif. threats

Police found 26 guns, thousands of bullets and dozens of high-capacity ammunition magazines at the home of a Santa Clara man charged with threatening to kill a state lawmaker over proposed gun control legislation, according to search warrants unsealed Thursday.

Authorities also reported finding what they describe as a homemade "destructive device" at the home of Everett Basham.

The 45-year-old was charged in February with possessing assault weapons, explosives and bomb-making materials, as well as threatening state Sen. Leland Yee. The Democrat from San Francisco has proposed legislation that would limit the rapid reloading of assault weapons.

...they seized and planned to analyze numerous computers, hard drives and cellphones seized from Basham, who once briefly worked for Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak.

The mire stupid he became, just trigger happy. Should be they should be charged with terrorist threats and relieved of his weapons.

I was wondering if Michelle Bachmann's husband could get the gay out of gays maybe he could get the stupid out of the guys.

the police said he had so much ammunition that if a fire occurred a few blocks would have gone up in smoke plus live ammo shooting everywhere .

How many super stashes of ammo are out there is a frightening question almost as frightening as the pic of that lovely man.
