The 73-year-old had reportedly had an argument on Saturday with customers at the bar in the town of Cilavegna, Pavia, over the queue to the slot machines. Apparently unable to resolve the dispute, the pensioner turned up at the bar the following day with a lust for vengeance and a Smith & Wesson 357 magnum revolver, a knuckle-duster and a flick-knife.
Police were called to the scene where they arrested the man, who has a clean record. No injuries were reported. But, as police discovered, the handgun was just the tip of the iceberg. When they inspected the man's home they uncovered a huge arsenal of weapons.
The pensioner's collection included a Stahl shotgun, a Franchi Para rifle, a Beretta semi-automatic shotgun, a silencer and around a hundred bullets. Two more guns found at the man's home, including a Beretta shotgun and a Breda rifle, had been registered. Police also found two bayonets, a sabre, two machetes and a samurai sword. The weapons have now been seized.

"a huge arsenal of weapons" maybe for a italian
LOL. My thoughts exactly. Of course, that would erroneously be called an arsenal by American journalists as well.
With those comments you have perfectly illustrated the inane gunlaws of america.
Yeah, Dunex, until this happens and there are no cops to be found. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/12/armed-shop-owners-fend-off-looters-st-louis-suburb/
"Loon with that many weapons" There are a thousand times the number of loons behind the wheel on highways right now. What's more likely to kill you?
A "huge arsenal" what a load of crap. I owned more guns than that when I was in High School.
More Media hype to make guns look evil. Hoplophobia is a disease.
It's a huge arsenal for a civilized country, but a laughable drop in the bucket for the good old US of A. Maybe he was an immigrant from the US.
