William Greene, 35, could have done a lot of damage with the collection of guns he kept inside the stately brownstone at 137th Street where he lived including an AR-15 assault rifle, which is the same gun used in last Julys Colorado theater shooting.
Cops went to the home at 6:45 p.m. Friday after the tip from Greenes kin. He soon admitted to having the guns and ammo in his possession.
