Doesn't he have a right to be his own militia like our citizens do? What is wrong with you people?

You need some serious therapy, imo if you really mean the remarks you come out with, or maybe you are just a wind up merchant?:rolleyes:
 

The Aussies have a bad attitude. They see how wonderful our way of life is and it drives them nuts...
 
Yes, the truth has a way of doing that, and I won't rub it in by pointing out some of our virtues like our great freedom of expression in entertainment, but you have that, too, don't you, as I have watched "Rake" and found you trying to outdo us, which you never can...

A report about seizure of illegal firearms and other weapons in Victoria.

It sounds like he was an illegal dealer in weaponry.

Did he commit a crime, that they searched and found the knives and swords? There are collectors in America that could have more weapons like that in their possession, but if they are not committing any crimes with them, then there is no issue. If some of them had historical significance, then he sounds like a collector to me. Oh, I guess just the fact that he lived in Australia made them illegal regardless, in that case he should have known better, or moved out of the country.
 
This is another report from the time he was arrested.

A MAN has been found with more than 100 firearms and other weapons during a police raid near Bendigo. Detectives, working on intelligence, executed a search warrant at a property in Myers Flat on Saturday morning, seizing 139 guns. Police will allege the man does not hold a licence for the firearms and are establishing who were the original owners.
Overall 37 long-arms and 102 “assorted’’ firearms were located by police with some of them modified into semiautomatic weapons.

Police say some of the weapons are believed to be vintage and of historical significance.
Swords, knives, daggers and ammunition was also found.

The man, who was arrested and bailed, will appear at Bendigo Magistrates’ Court on November 10.

"Acting on intelligence" suggests that they were investigating something and got wind of this property where it would appear that the guns were either stolen or illegally imported. There is a black market in illegal guns and criminal bikie gangs are often involved. However, until the trial begins in November, we won't know the facts.
