... and it took a UK newspaper to show us.

Meet the one man army who owns more than 3,000 weapons and proudly boasts the scary title ‘the most armed man in America’

Actually I'm pretty sure that guy has been reported on before. If I remember correctly, he owns/runs a historic weapons of war museum. Didn't read the whole article, the whole scary and frightening part of the first part of the article turned me off. I am very envious of that man's collection though.

"Mel Bernstein – known as the Dragon Man – has earned the title the ‘most armed man in the US’ and has a frightening 3,000 weapons in his collection"

Really?

Oh my...

Or as we like to call it "a good start"!

One man's "frightening" is another man's" REASSURING!

Are his weapons inscribed with quotes from liberals? That would definitely make them frightening in my book.

This part confused me

I have almost 200 of them in my name. I don’t think anyone in the US has that many guns in their name.

I have no idea what "in my name" refers to, or why the other 2,800+ guns he owns are not "in his name". But if he is referring to guns he personally owns (as opposed to guns owned by his business) then I think he is mistaken about anyone personally owning more than 200.

I bet the rest are in a trust/llc for NFA purposes... if it's the guy I'm remembering with the war museum, most of it was full auto or otherwise regulated

he didn't seem so frightening when I met him....his motorcycle was a little weird, but...eh....loved his range.

Probably many owned as inventory under his FFL. You can be an FFL sole proprietor and hence "have them in your name" however many dealers use an entity.

I think LaRue has more than 200 guns with his name.

There was a FFL in Grapevine that had close to 200 registered Thompson submachineguns. Don't know if he still does. Bought a MAC10 from him 15 years ago.
