A father and his two sons have been arrested in Australia after police found a $3 million arsenal of more than 300 guns and 4.2 tons of ammunition at their farm, police said Thursday.

The men, aged 69, 46 and 42, were charged with possessing restricted firearms after police found the weapons stockpile stashed in sheds at their property in Monto, Queensland.

A selection of the firearms from a huge stockpile of 328 guns and 4.2 tons of ammo recovered by police in Queensland, Australia.

Among the 328 weapons were military-style automatic rifles, some of which were worth up to $50,000 each, and Glock handguns worth $10,000, police said.

“This is certainly one of the largest hauls of firearms, ammunition and weapons we have uncovered,” said Detective Superintendent Jon Wacker of the Queensland Police. “These firearms are very disturbing.”

“These firearms are very disturbing.”

What is disturbing is 1. They're outlawed to begin with 2. The black market price of those guns. $10,000 glocks and $50,000 military STYLE guns. :shock:

And isn't the world such a better place now that these weapons of mass destruction have been found and removed from a farm in the middle of no where? And I'm sure Grandpa and sons were going to be committing some atrocious crimes. I wanna know what 4.5 tonnes (which would be around 10,000 US lbs) looks like!

Shame that many parts of the world have to live by these standards... If we don't watch out the U.S will follow behind soon.
