My point was that they don't typically refer to the situation you described as "child porn" and they don't typically do a major arrest and raid on such situations. I seriously doubt this guy is the situation you describe. The words "child porn" are rarely used to describe the borderline situations. That is a word that is usually reserved for the truely sick, perverted, deranged members of our society. I 100% disagree that the words... "CHILD PORN" ... are as vague as the word assualt weapons. I can't remember reading or hearing of any news story where the headlines were "CHILD PORN" and it was being used to describe slightly underaged girls in the situation you describe.tbrown wrote:That's the problem. If a 17 year old college freshman takes au naturel pictures of herself and posts them on a social network, and one of her 18 year old classmates in English 101 downloads one picture, he possesses CHILD PORN as far as a federal prosecutor and the MSM are concerned. That's crazy.03Lightningrocks wrote:The story said CHILD PORN... not pictures of an under aged girl.
I don't get the impression anybody is defending this guy if he has pictures of himself with girls half his age. We're just saying that "child porn" is as vague as "assault weapon" or "suspicious literature" or "cult" or "militia" where the MSM is concerned. We have also caught the MSM in so many lies, that we have good reason to not accept everything the MSM says at face value, especially when guns are part of the story.

Yeah... I liked that. This topic brings out too many extreme emotions... I think I am going to step off. The child predator topic enrages me.bayouhazard wrote:03Lightningrocks wrote:bayouhazard wrote:Blah blah blah yourself.

LOL.... I don't know about that. In a zombie apocalypse, carrying all that ammo in your "bug out bag" might be a problem. If your plan is to stay in your home and attempt to stage a defense from there, one bottle filled with gasoline and your done for.Lambda Force wrote:MadMonkey wrote:Sheesh, less than 1k rounds per gun? Guy is WAY under prepared.
Yyep!!! That was pretty much it. So the point remains, a guy busted for a heinous crime, such as child porn, will gain extra attention when he has a stockpile of weapons and ammunition. Just as a drug dealer with possession of same cache would gain extra attention. This story in no way reflects upon us legitimate gun owners.Lambda Force wrote:For the record, here was the original blog post before it was edited.MadMonkey wrote:Ah, I didn't read the story originally (internet is slow here and I was going off what I read in the thread). Sorry.A child pornography raid by Harris County sheriff’s deputies Wednesday afternoon escalated to include a massive cache of weapons and literature that drew the attention of federal anti-terrorism agents.
In addition to porn, authorities discovered 65 weapons and 50,000 rounds of ammunition in the home in the 16800 block of Gaelic Lane, KHOU-TV reports on its website. James Lee Kong, 26, faces five counts of child porn.Sheriff’s investigators said Kong had recently traveled to Afghanistan, Cambodia and Thailand.FBI sources tell KHOU that the suspect literature appeared to have no connection to terrorism.
I can worn you that the ammo will get heavier than the shelving it is stack on. You put a few hundred rounds on the shelves at a time and you don't realize how heavy it is getting until one night your watching TV and the whole load collapses the shelving. It sounds like someone is coming through the wall of your house with a truck. After you clean yourself up, you will realize that reinforcing the shelving is a must...LOL. That is my ammo horders "tip of the day".C-dub wrote:I'm not quite to 50k yet, so yeah. I'm currently up to only about 1,500.
For you guys with as much or MORE, how high will you stack your boxes? I'm curious about the whole set-back issue and if stacking them too high can cause this with the round in the lower boxes.

It would be like a drug bust and when they talk about what the cops removed from the home all they mention is "prescription drugs, guns, ammunition" - none of which is necessarily illegal but all of which makes folks reading it go "oooh"03Lightningrocks wrote:tallmike wrote:If you look at what they say they found in the home it just says pornography, not child porn. Search my home and you will find porn too, as well as guns and quite a few rounds for each. The info the media reports comes from the police and they are not giving out anything that goes against their justification for the raid.
They put what he is charged with at the top of the article.
"A child pornography raid by Harris County sheriff’s deputies Wednesday......."
I am not even sure what the "terrorism task force" is. Maybe they didn't have any terrorism to work on so a child molestor got some extra attention.While I feel sure you have a porn collection to be proud of, I am going to assume it is of the adult variety and thus falls under the "who cares?" category. They won't be busting down your doors for adult porn so your hypothetical is more than highly unlikely.
A massive stash of weapons and ammunition always becomes part of the story when a person is busted for a serious felony. Most of the normal folks out there don't draw a reverse correlation and assume all gun collectors have child porn. I did think it was funny that he had a house that looked to be worth less than his gun collection and ammo stash...LOL. Unless all his guns were junkers. Hey... I wonder if he will be selling it at a discount to get attorney fees? Maybe I will give him a call and ask...LOL.
The cops are generally pretty careful about the info they give to the media and this time all of what they admit to taking from the home could be legal items. That's my point that can be found in many homes across the nation.
