And there’s no law against acquiring such an arsenal in a short time – unless you’re a convicted felon – even in these post-9/11 years of homeland security fright. Not even records are kept for the feds.

“That’s correct,” said Drew Wade, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). “There’s no federal statute prohibiting that.”
