Without getting into a debate regarding the disposition of the cache, that was one (wealthy, apparently) owner's accumulation of 1500 weapons with 6.5 _tons_ of associated ammo. From the photo, most of the visible ones appear to be sporting arms (shotguns, bolt-action rifles), but still, enough to bolster a fair-sized militia, with a reserve arsenal, _and_ have some left for trading to a neighboring enclave. Imagine an underground resistance to the Mexican invasion having this to arm the disarmed populace with.
Update: according to the LA Times, it was _1200_ guns and over _2_ tons of ammo. Two days later it's over _6_ tons. Let's hear it for accurate reporting. yay.
BUT--it does reveal that the deceased claimed to have been an alien hybrid sent to protect the human race. The death occurred about a year ago, and the family's decisions about the cache is being publicized currently.
