Not quite on topic I know but jdmcm raises a point.
Sensationalism beats simple news reporting and always has. A photograph of the 'weapons' found at a bikers home some years ago included steak and carving knives from the kitchen, an axe and offcuts of angle iron and water pipe from the workshop along with chisels and a baseball bat.
Another laughable one though not to the person involved was when a militaria collector was raided and found to be in possession of an empty launch tube from a Laws rocket. The fuss made would have you believe they had saved the world from this evil fellow. No matter that they are a throwaway item in the same way as an empty cartridge case and that you would even be hard pressed to beat someone up with one as they are so lightly constructed.
Don't let the facts stand in the way of a good story. The truth is out there somewhere!
