Man arrested for having too many bullets http://www.eagletribune.com/punewshh...yword=topstory Police: Man said 30,000 bullets were for target practice He is held on $500,000 bail By Paul Tennant ptennant@eagletribune.com HAVERHILL � Keni Garcia told police he intended to use the 30,000 bullets they found in his car and home for target practice. That is hard to believe, the prosecutor at Garcia's arraignment said, because if he were to fire a gun for eight hours a day, it would take weeks for him to use all of it. Garcia, who allegedly bought thousands of rounds of ammunition and had 10,000 bullets in his car when he was stopped by police Thursday, was ordered held on $500,000 cash bail yesterday. Attorney Socrates de la Cruz of Lawrence, who represented Garcia, 32, of 12 Freeman St., at his arraignment in Haverhill District Court, said he will appeal the high bail in Superior Court. Garcia is charged with three counts of possession of a high-capacity firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and illegal storage of a firearm. His case was continued until June 12. Assistant District Attorney Christopher Holland asked Judge Patricia Dowling to impose $750,000 cash bail. "He has no reason to stay here," Holland said. The judge ordered Garcia to surrender his passport, and said that if he makes bail he is not to leave Massachusetts. Garcia is a native of the Dominican Republic who was expected to become a U.S. citizen yesterday, but then he was arrested, authorities said. Police arrested Garcia after he had left Interstate 495 at Exit 49 Thursday. They said they found 10,000 rounds of ammunition in his car. His two young daughters also were in the car, police said. Holland said at Garcia's arraignment that a "joint effort" by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and state police found that Garcia had previously bought 20,000 rounds of ammunition in New Hampshire. Garcia told police he only intended to use the bullets for target practice at a rifle range, Holland said, disputing Garcia's explanation. His common law wife, Elizabeth Reynoso, consented to a search and police found another 20,000 rounds, Holland said. They also found one .38-caliber and two 9 mm handguns, and $25,000 in cash, Holland said. The prosecutor said all of the bullets seized from Garcia were for .38-caliber, 9 mm and .22-caliber firearms. Such ammunition is "like gold in the Dominican Republic," he said. Holland said Reynoso told police he had "a shipping type of business" and that the $25,000 in cash must have come from Garcia cashing a business check. "Where is the crime?" de la Cruz asked. The lawyer said Garcia had lived in New Hampshire for three years before recently moving to Haverhill. "He bought the guns legally," de la Cruz said. "He never hid the fact that he had them." Furthermore, de la Cruz said that when Garcia moved to Haverhill, he had a 60-day grace period to obtain a Massachusetts firearms card. "There is no crime committed," he argued, saying there was no evidence that Garcia was shipping guns or ammunition to the Dominican Republic. He asked the judge to allow his client "to go back to his job." He said Garcia has worked at a local bakery for three years. Yesterday, Freeman Street residents interviewed by The Eagle-Tribune said they did not know anything about Garcia or guns and ammunition being stored at or shipped from his home. Medline Abiles, of 43 Freeman St., who resides across the street from Garcia's house, said that in the two months she has lived in the neighborhood, she has not observed any weapons or ammunition and had no reason to be suspicious. Her sister, Carmen Reyes, who visits frequently, said she also had never noticed anything suspicious at the two-family house at 12 Freeman St.

They get the prize for being stupid. NEVER consent to a search. Let them break the law by forced entry and the so-called 'evidence' is obtained illegally and thrown out of court.

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets What ELSE would he do with 30,000 rounds BUT target practice? Are they alleging that he planned to shoot 30,000 people??????

bwelkk | 05-18-2009 12:57 AM
Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets 3 weeks shooting once every 20 seconds , 8 hours a day. So what? Over the course of a lifetime, an avid shooter will easily fire that many rounds.

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets I have seen a person walk out of a sporting goods store with a case 22 calibre bricks under each arm. That's 10,000 bullets plus. It sounds like so many but really it isn't. I wonder how many of this guy's bullets were .22. It is easy to make a good stash of .22s sound like an arsenal and I am sure the media uses this fact to push their agendas. :banghead:

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets First off, the guy is not a citizen, and never should be. Second, why does he have $25k in cash? It sounds fishy to me. Lock him up for awhile and send him back home.

If he's an illegal send him home. I'm good with that. But "fishy" is not illegal. Why does he have $25k? Why does he need a reason?

The article states he was due to gain citizenship on Thursday. Is there a problem with having 25k in cash? Maybe he was on his way to the coin shop. The ammunition numbers are high, but again, what's the problem. What law did this dude break? If you want to become proficient with a firearm, you end up putting a lot of rounds through it. Back in the day, I would regularly put 500 rounds through a pistol in an afternoon.

Burden of proof? Lock him up for being suspicious? Lock him up for having cash? You've been fighting the drug war too long, and have become part of the problem. "If people aren't living like I do, they're doing something wrong and should be locked up."

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets You are under arrest. I think you have excessive cash in your pocket. Would you mind emptying your pockets? Look, we can do this the hard way or the easy way. You work with me and I will help you. If you have nothing to hide, then you won't mind emptying your pockets and letting me search your house. ============================================== I am getting pretty disgusted that people even think that these police tactics are legitimate.

This is exactly what I thought. 20,000 rounds of .22 doesn't even take up much space, but the anti-gunners have images of multiple shelves full of ammo.

DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!! DING!!! DING!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! Or let them "find" something on there own. If you see you are going down CALM THE HELL UP AND SAY NOTHING EXCEPT YOUR LEGAL NAME AND DEMAND THAT YOU HAVE COUNCIL PRESENT. You will be going for the ride no matter what at that point so the best thing you can do is STAND MUTE If I had the take a stab these people where foolish enough to believe that if they consented the situation would get better or someone would speak on there behalf or "cooperation" would be taken into account. All they did was better fashion the noose from which all of them will hang. That 25K will not even begin to cover there legal expenses. They are screwed and screwed badly. T

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets The PDF won't let me copy into the clipboard, but here is the relevant statute, with penalties: http://www.ci.worcester.ma.us/wfd/pr...rms/527013.pdf Under penalties, anyone who knowingly violates the law(refuses to get a license from the fire dept), the penalty is not more than 1 yr in jail, and not more than $1000 fine(misdemeanor). Otherwise, if you are just found to have "too much" ammo, it is a maximum of $100 and 1 month. This is a BS law, but luckily the penalties are pretty minimal. This just makes the $500,000 bail that much more excessive. I bet that the charges are ultimately dropped, but that he never sees his seized property again.

Tallships | 05-18-2009 12:04 PM
Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets If you have too much, keep just under the limit at your residence, and have your friends - parents - relatives -neighbors store it in these amounts for you too. This would be wise strategy even without the unconstitutional law that you would be following. Just in case you had to get your rounds or a rifle in an emergency, and couldn't go home. Also if you had a fire or home invasion/burglary, some of your stuff would survive as you would not have all of your eggs in one basket.

HE SHOULD HAVE ATTEMPED NOTHING(OUTSIDE OF STATING HIS LEGAL NAME AND REQUEST FOR COUNCIL). AS YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS FAILED MISERABLY.

hmmmmm, how about locking him up for being here illegally. I'm just saying that a person with that amount of cash on him, all those bullets, and he's an illegal... something just doesn't sound right.

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets If he is an illegal, the 2nd might not apply to him, but it does not say the right of the citizens, it says people, so maybe it does apply to him. If he hasn't signed his rights away by having an SSN it could be argued that he has more rights than a citizen, but I wouldn't want to be the one arguing it. If he is smart he will not say one word to anyone but his lawyer.

larphillips | 05-18-2009 10:27 PM
Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets Where does it say anything about him being an illegal? In fact, if we was about to get his citizenship, it means that he has not only been here LEGALLY, but he was following all of the endless bullshit rules required to become a citizen... rules designed NOT to discourage proper citizenship, but to ENCOURAGE staying here illegally. Dude got royally screwed, and should be a lesson to us all. Even here, you can see how easy it is to imply that the guy was up to no good and to push for his arrest and deportation. It's way to easy to rile the masses up against another. Once the precedent is established and set in stone, it makes it THAT MUCH EASIER for them to take the rest of us down... and make it sound in the press like they've taken "another wacko off the streets."

Interesting & I wonder what the laws are...( just out of curiosity ) For a non US citizen as far as buying guns go? Now will they screw him out of citizenship? They said he had been here working 3 years in a Bakery? Quote:
He asked the judge to allow his client "to go back to his job." He said Garcia has worked at a local bakery for three years.
But yet he owns a shipping company? Quote:
Holland said Reynoso told police he had "a shipping type of business" and that the $25,000 in cash must have come from Garcia cashing a business check.
Quite a few oddities but still I wonder You know if he is typical he saw a chance to make a few $$ on all this mark up craze....seems like he was well on his way to being a real American :wink:

The guy was not born here. He worked in a bakery I would be surprised if he made 35,000 a year at the bakery? They think he was exporting this ammo or that is what I would guess and I bet they think he has been doing this for some time? So this guy, it looks like, is taking ammo out of this country. If he is exporting our ammo then he is stealing from every American that wants this ammo. To me this is all gay ammo that mom and pop want. So if he is exporting moms and pops ammo, I'm surprised people on this site act like they are supporting him. Everyone knows Mass sucks but they were not on to him because he was a great guy. He was and is not being watched (locked up) because he was a baker!! I bet he was making a killing stealing mom and pops ammo? That area of Mass is where my some of my rich customers live. Doctor types. I do not think it would be wrong to hang him if he was exporting mom and pops ammo. People here are getting ready for a war or they would not be buying all the guns and ammo. imho

Furthermore, de la Cruz said that when Garcia moved to Haverhill, he had a 60-day grace period to obtain a Massachusetts firearms card.
More than 10K rounds are allowed, provided you have a license.

He was and is not being watched (locked up) because he was a baker!! I bet he was making a killing stealing mom and pops ammo? That area of Mass is where my some of my rich customers live. Doctor types. I do not think it would be wrong to hang him if he was exporting mom and pops ammo. People here are getting ready for a war or they would not be buying all the guns and ammo. imho
WTF??? Stealing??? You're full of it... there would be no difference if he shot it, or exported it. Besides, if he owned it, he can dispose of his property in any way he sees fit. Mom and Pop's ammo? Did they buy it, and he broke into their basement? No, he bought it. What is with this progressive anti-property rights crap? Besides, if they had any evidence whatsoever that he was exporting ammo, he would be in front of a FEDERAL judge, not a MA district court judge. This is pretty clearly a case of an anti-gun prosecutor and an anti-gun judge railroading someone for having the temerity to like guns. We want to support him, because next time, it could be any one of us(you too!).

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets If you read further down he isn't a legal citizen of the U.S. He was looking to obtain citizenship but was arrested before that could happen.

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets Too bad such a law exists there. In my book he was well on his way to becoming a great citizen.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I welcome people from non-free countries, who want to move here and buy a bunch of guns and ammo. That says to me that they don't plan on having their freedom stolen again...

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets Are there any other states that limit the number of ammo you can have? Limiting ammo is freaking ridiculious!

I still think they think he was exporting it and that is the reason he was locked up. He is not a citizen he had a lot of ammo and and cash plus he was not very bright moving to that state. Get him out of here or hang him we need no more idiots here!!

Re: Man arrested for having too many bullets His attorney says he was within the law and it sure looks that way to me Quote:
(a) Small Arms Ammunition: Private Use. Small arms ammunition in amounts over that specified in 527 CMR 13.04(1), that do not exceed 100,000 total rounds at any one time, may be kept for private use provided none of the individual limitations listed below are exceeded. 1. 10,001 to 30,000 rounds of rim fire ammunition. 2. 10,001 to 50,000 rounds of center fire ammunition not to include shotgun ammunition. 3. 10,001 to 50,000 rounds of shotgun ammunition not to include center fire ammunition.
His ammo matches his firearms, which an export biz likely would not = 22, 38, 9mm. And with ammo going up like it is, if I did much target shooting I'd buy that kind of quantity now, while I can. Ammo seems to be the current point of government attack on the 2nd. Which reminds me I need more 22.

I think you have misread the article. He was not an illegal, he was supposed to become a citezan while he as arrested. That tells me that at the least his application was in process. The problem with people is that they can't believe nor accept that others may live life differently (25K cash?) You can never be free unless you accept others behavior, no matter how strange or foreign it may seem to you. Just my 2 cents!
