So he had a handful of guns and some weed, so what? Letting his friend drive his car 100+mph while smoking dope and toting around some guns isn't the best idea though.
On a side note, AndrewR I don't know your political beliefs or whatever on this forum and I really don't give a rip, but why are you trying to politicize this thread into some degenerate P&N argument? You're trying to assert that what they found isn't a cache of weapons and that the media has turned "cache" into a magical buzzword in a couple of days? As if the word "cache" was rarely used throughout history? Then you post a bunch of links from a 3 second google search, all about Iraq and all within a "few days" as your supporting data?
I'm sorry, but that is straight up idiotic.
Mabey you and buck have some long term history of disagreeing, either way it doesn't change the fact that what you're trying to say is incredibly ignorant.
Now since you were telling someone how to use google (which you apparently are not very good at), I'm going to show you something cool. Ok go into your little google screen, and put in your keyword and click news, then on the left sidebar you should see a little link called
archives, click on that. It should bring you to a screen with options to search news stories throughout history. You can pick your time period and even specific year! It's pretty nifty, you should try it out.
If you click my link, you will see that the word "cache" has been used in contemporary english language media regularly for well, a long while.
