Chesterfield County Sheriff Jay Brooks tells CBS affiliate WBTV that deputies seized more than 7,000 guns from the property near Pageland, and that he believes the vast majority were stolen. The guns filled up a tractor-trailer.

Brooks told the station that the guns and ammunition filled multiple tractor trailers.

The weapons were discovered Friday when authorities brought a subpoena to the house. Authorities say a man living there had been arrested previously on drug charges in North Carolina and faces charges related to stolen property.

The sheriff said the suspect appears to have been hoarding the guns, most of which were hunting rifles or shotguns, and there's no evidence he sold any.

Sounds like an addiction. You can never have enough of something you don't really need.

So it would be wrong to show up without just the right gun

By failing to do as all his ammosexual buddies said - that "They're gonna take all the guns - if you got some to sell then, you'll clean up!"

I'm all for more stringent gun laws, but I don't see how doing this violates any law at all.
