NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York City police have uncovered an arsenal of weapons, ammunition and home-made bombs in a raid on a Staten Island home, a police spokeswoman said.

According to Officer Jannara Everleth, the NYPD Drug Enforcement Task Force on Wednesday entered the single-family home and discovered the stash of munitions, including seven homemade bombs, 10,000 rounds of ammunition and 13 guns.

Police closed off a four-block area and evacuated homes surrounding the house as a precaution while the bomb squad removed the weaponry, Everleth said.

Police arrested Albert Boshi, 40, and Anna Dicamillo, 39, described as his common-law wife. They also removed the couple's 3-year-old son from the house. Both Boshi and Dicamillo are charged with three counts of criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.


An Arsenal???? What is wrong with owning 13 guns and buying bulk ammo to save money? This article should be about a couple of losers making homeade bombs... the guns/ammo are thrown in there to create bias against gun ownership by linking it to the illegal activity.
Or am I being overly sensitive on the issue? :munchin

I would tend to agree with you on this.

I'd totally agree with you if it weren't for the "homemade bomb" part.

The rest isn't an arsenal, it is a Constitutionally protected right.

13 firearms is a starter kit and 10K is plinking ammo.

the 'bombs'.... hmmm, I'd like to see their construction. This guys is probably an asshole, but giving him the benefit of the doubt - I have a case of tannerite 'bombs' in my garage.

Commo... I think you misunderstood my point. I agree that the illegal bombmaking should be the story. The guns/ammo are not part of the issue and are included only to promote anti-gun bias.

You are correct Doc. My apologies for missing that.

I'm off of my game this week.

I disagree whole heartedly. That is no simple mistake but a clear case of bias. Having lived in New York almost my entire life and knowing several members of the NY print media, there is no doubt in my mind that those words were chosen very carefully to create the greatest impact.

Remember- in most cases, reporters aren't dumb, just evil and misguided.

Solid

Concur.

I guess I am a hardscrabble jadded ex-New Yorker that knows when someone is jerking me around. The next positive gun story by a New York reporter will be the very first one. I have read enough anti-gun crap from New York writers to know what this idiot is trying to convey and that is anyone who owns a gun, let alone 13 of them, and has 10,000 rounds is a wide eyed psychopath and worthy of condemnation. There are plenty of words to chose from including, cache, but he chose the one word that envokes a dark and sinister sense of foreboding.....

Anyone want to discuss whether possession of explosives should be a crime? :)

How about "small" or "modest collection", since that is what it appears to be?

The "arsenal" represents a threat to others the same way his paper presents a threat to libel, slander, or defame others, or the reporter's house contains the items to be referred to as a "torture chamber" or "drug dealer's lair".

Last time I checked, we were innocent until proven guilty, I guess that with his paper, that right died with the Second Amendment.

Possession, or unsafe storage?

No legitimate military use for pipe bombs, BTW. Frags would have been GTG.
