Earlier Tuesday (click here) fear spread across the land when news broke that the huge cache of weapons pictured above, some loaded, had been seized from a car that was attempting to enter New York City through the Holland Tunnel. Initial accounts said a joint terrorism task force was involved with the investigation. Was this a potential attack thwarted at the last minute—the work of ISIS or al-Qaida or some Timothy McVeigh–style white extremist group?
Nope, turns out it was just some regular old "gun enthusiasts"! From DNA Info:
The three are believed to be gun enthusiasts with "drug issues," another law enforcement source said, and told investigators they were heading into the city to help out another friend with drug problems.
In other words, aside from the drug issues—there was heroin reportedly found in the car—these could very well be everyday Americans enjoying their Second Amendment rights to carry around a big ol' collection of murder equipment....
