Is 50,000 rounds too much?

Sheesh, less than 1k rounds per gun? Guy is WAY underprepared.

Ah, I didn't read the story originally (internet is slow here and I was going off what I read in the thread). Sorry.

For the record, here was the original blog post before it was edited.

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.

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.

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.

All kidding about the end of the world aside, my main reason for buying so much ammo was to get ahead of the crowd. It worked.

It said they found porn but it didn't say they find child porn or other illegal porn.
It said they found guns but it didn't say they find machineguns or other illegal guns.
It said they found "suspect literature" but it didn't say any of the literature was illegal.

Some of us think it's relevant whether he actually had child porn or a copy of Playboy. Some of you maybe don't. Some people may even think there's a difference between pictures of little children and pictures a teenager took of herself and posted online without a copy of her birth certificate showing her age. Or a photo taken two days from now if one of the women getting beads is 17 but looks 20.

According to what I read, under the current laws, if she looks 18 and says she's 18, that's not a defense if it's still a week before her 18th birtday. Kind of like a gun where the barrel is 1/8 inch too short because your tape measure is inaccurate.

HOUSTON - Deputies went to a child porn suspect's home and found a whole lot more than they expected.

Harris County sheriff's deputies said they knocked on James Lee Kong's door Wednesday morning. Kong opened the door, but he was naked and had a gun in his hand.

Deputies disarmed Kong and then searched his home. Investigators said they found two laptop computers that were in the process of uploading child pornography.

I personally believe that this is the wrong reason to prosucute someone, alot of young women lie about age, short of asking for ID there is at times no real way to tell and even ID isn't always accurate. so now we have a sex offender for no real reason other than there is a statute against it, same as statutory sexual assault, needs to go away

...if it were YOUR 17-year-old daughter who'd been used by a 25+year-old man, left pregnant, diseased, or broken-hearted...might you feel differently??? those laws are in place for reasons, chief amongst those the majority of citizens wanted them...
...that's why we have ages in the law to enter into a contract that's binding...the years are supposed to add maturity and common sense to make better decisions...
...laws are in place to protect decent people from those who aren't...we know they're not perfect...or always fair...but it's better to have them than not...and anyone who finds sexual pleasure in a child needs to be put out of his and everyone else's misery...so this scum they caught in the act of uploading child porn, whether he was naked or in a 3-piece suit...needs to have the full punishment of the law piled on his head...
...I'm glad that he'll likely be found a felon and lose his gun rights and voting rights...we don't need his contribution to society...

You know. If my daughter had a fake ID and regularly went out to bars and picked up strange men and one of those men knocked her up. Well. Maybe I would be pointing fingers too.

I probably wouldn't want to blame my little girl and it would be uncomfortable to ask myself what about the way she was raised contributed to her behavior. It must be someone else to blame. I sure wouldn't want people asking why I wasn't supervising my child and keeping them out of bars and strange beds.

I know! I'll blame the men she lied to. They should have known she was lying. And the bartender should have known the ID was fake. And the men were unreasonable to assume a woman drinking in a bar was 21...at least..and...and...

[03Lightningrocks]

In the EXTREME example pointed out of a 17 yr old...blahblah blah....

The story said CHILD PORN... not pictures of an under aged girl. Again we dwell on the absurd, but at least we quit acting as if the guy was a reflection on gun owners everywhere.

Maybe some of you fellers can relate to this guy and empathize with him. Personally, I can't. Never being a fan of child porn I can't relate in any way, form or fashion. The guy needs to be locked up and served a big dish of payback by his fellow prison inmates.

One more thing. Just because someones child becomes confused by life and starts acting out, it is OK to take advantage of them???? What the heck kind of thinking is that???

[bayouhazard]

Blah blah blah yourself. I was responding to these comments.

...if it were YOUR 17-year-old daughter who'd been used by a 25+year-old man, left pregnant, diseased, or broken-hearted...might you feel differently???

If she's not responsible for her own body then she's nowhere near responsible enough to operate a motor vehicle that could kill other people.

Blah blah blah yourself.

...like it or not...the responsibility to know the age of the girl rests LEGALLY on the male...doesn't matter if she's a nice girl or like the one you described...so we need to quit making excuses why the "man" got locked up...or change the law...I have no sympathy for them...I managed to be responsible enough to leave the children(under 18) alone...so can the rest of 'em...

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.

This!!! +1

Now I am going to step off!
