Police seize one of 'biggest ever arsenal of firearms' in east London

[Jonas]

Sorry, but I couldn't get the pictures of this "arsenal" to post... but over on a US forum the pictures shown are mostly a bunch of antique junk that I wouldn't shoot on a bet. Acting Detective Superintendent Gary Bruce would not be a happy camper in Texas, where most 12 year old boys have more extensive "arsenals". Hopefully, y'all feel so much safer now!

Police have seized more than 30 guns at an address in east London in one of the biggest ever haul of firearms.
