A “prepper” hoarded an arsenal of 17 guns, thousands of bullets and tinned food under his floorboards so that he could be ready for Doomsday, a court heard.
Barney Buttifint was found in possession of an illegal sawn-off shotgun, as well as knives, and bow and arrows stashed in a secret store.
An illegally held pistol chamber and an illicit cache of hundreds of bullets were also found by police at the property in Dover, Kent, in July this year.
While a person can legally hold up to 2,000 .22 bullets, police counted 2,300.

I have 200 rounds of .22LR subsonic I bought yesterday right by my monitor because I haven’t got around to put them with the rest. I fear to ask how many rounds of other calibers does the Brit Gov (or does not) allow to its subjects to own, but I am sure I and anybody reading this would be in brutal violation of any count.
Britain will sleep more soundly tonight now that this public menace and his bows-of-mass-destruction have been taken off of the street.
I was at the Bovington Tank Museum gift shop, giggling at the little bags of deactivated ammunition they were selling, struck up a conversation with a Brit and mentioned I could have thousands of rounds of the real stuff delivered back home. He was not pleased with his country’s policy.
@Crawford: “… struck up a conversation with a Brit and mentioned I could have thousands of rounds of the real stuff delivered back home.”
Even if he could have the ammo, he couldn’t have a gun. 8~(
