"What's even more terrifying - this illegal, dangerous activity was happening steps away from several schools. Police uncovered 10 mostly illegal guns, including seven assault-style rifles, a home-assembled fully automatic MP5-style weapon, a 9mm ghost gun with illegal parts, 78 high-capacity magazines - some stashed in Chou's ceiling - along with six suppressors, roughly 6,000 rounds of ammo, and a rapid-fire switch capable of turning rifles into machine guns."
"[Chou] had all the components to assemble an actual machine gun. This tiny item right here can effectively turn these firearms into machine guns. It makes an already deadly weapon, a weapon of mass killing."
Wen-Lone Chou, 67, operated an illegal gun manufacturing operation in his Mineola basement located steps away from Chaminade High School, a school soccer field, and an elementary school. Following a year-long multi-agency investigation, police arrested Chou and discovered a substantial illegal arsenal. The cache included 10 mostly illegal guns, seven assault-style rifles, a homemade fully automatic MP5-style weapon, a 9mm ghost gun, 78 high-capacity magazines, six suppressors, approximately 6,000 rounds of ammunition, and rapid-fire switches capable of converting semi-automatic rifles into machine guns. Investigators also found five completed lower frames and components for assembling additional firearms. Only one legal bolt-action hunting rifle was found among the weapons.
