Police found weapons "in the triple digits" in his house, plus many stolen license plates (that were presumably used for his poaching trips). Official cause of death: Bullet to the head.

Background checks, stricter gun control would have prevented this.  :lol:

That, and ban violent video games.

And implement midnight basketball.

Unless it involved using heads as the ball, it may not have interested this guy ...  ;)

Interesting factoid: If you apply for a hunting permit in Austria, you require no psychological evaluation (unlike if you apply for a "normal" weapons permit) - though there is an exam that about hunting knowledge, the ecosystem etc.. Also, having a hunting permit cancels the three day waiting period for guns when buying a new one. It allows you to get any kind of hunting rifle.

In the past ten years, 8 members of the police have been killed in the line of duty (out of 23,000 cops). 246 have been severely injured in the past 4 years.

That's some large collection he's got there, must be worth a fair amount, some of it stolen ?

Egads, I hope they don't find one, two or a half-dozen of those shotguns turn out to be property of missing hunters (no not IDEs).

Maybe they ALL are.  Except maybe his first one.
