Elderly Couple's Arsenal found - [General]
Nearly 500 guns, including AK-47s and high-powered rifles, 500 pounds of gunpowder and 100,000 rounds of ammunition were taken from the home of Elizabeth and Sherwin Raymond, both 82 [New Jersey].
Sherwin Raymond, a former physician and gun enthusiast, has twice spent time in prison: in the early 1970s for performing illegal abortions and later that decade for selling silencer-equipped submachine guns. Convicted felons are not permitted to own guns.
Police suspect many of the weapons might have been bought at gun shows. Federal authorities are expected to investigate where they were purchased and whether they had ever been criminally used.
Sherwin was charged with creating a hazardous condition and his bail was set at $25,000.
Police guarded him at a hospital while he received dialysis treatment.
