According to a report by NJ.com, Moriarty received a phone call at his home on Saturday from a police officer asking if everything was okay; the assemblyman was then informed that someone had anonymously called in a report of a shooting at the home.

I am SO tired of news reports referring to a collection of four or five firearms as an "arsenal".
You missed the significant part of this: is it not the number, it is the "fondling". Do you have sex with your firearms? Do you enjoy Gladiator movies or any of Frank Miller's work?

(But actually, this is sick, dude!)
