A tip to the Organized Crime Control Bureau led police to the home of a Staten Island landlord where they found a slew of unlicensed weapons that included 77 handguns, three rifles, two stun guns, several knives and boxes of shells. 54-year-old Gary Granato was arrested on weapons charges for the arsenal he had been unable to secure a permit for, despite two attempts to do so. A police source said, "That's 80 guns off the streets that could have fell in the wrong hands." Most of the guns were apparently antique (but still usable) collectibles purchased at auctionarms.com. One neighbor told the News, "There was a lot of FedEx and UPS deliveries every day. When one would leave, the next one would come."
