3 Arrested With Multiple Loaded Guns, Knives, Body Armor at Holland Tunnel on Way to NYC
Two senior law enforcement officials say the three suspects are so-called "gun enthusiasts" and have no nexus to terror
By Pei-Sze Cheng and Jonathan Dienst
Three people were arrested with multiple loaded guns, rifles and ballistic vests at the Holland Tunnel Tuesday when police stopped them for driving with a cracked windshield, authorities tell NBC 4 New York.
The three individuals, two men in their 50s and a woman in her 20s who may be from Pennsylvania, were stopped on the New Jersey side of the tunnel around 8 a.m., authorities said. A search of their vehicle revealed the weapons cache.
The guns seized included long-range weapons as well as handguns. A camouflage helmet with what appeared to be night goggles was also recovered.
Two senior law enforcement officials say the three suspects are so-called "gun enthusiasts" and have no nexus to terror. There is no known threat.

What is going to happen when a group of these "gun enthusiasts" kill a large number of people again?
