 3TV PHOTOS: Seized weapons

GILBERT -- High-powered rifles and semi-automatic weapons were part of the hundreds of weapons seized after the ATF served a search warrant at Cavalry Arms, a licensed gun manufacturer in Gilbert.

ATF won't give specifics on why

Authorities have only said that Cavalry Arms is accused of violating federal firearms laws. Reports reveal that Cavalry Arms does most of its business online, and neighbors in the area claim seeing little traffic in or out of the business. But neighbors also said they were surprised by the actions, and described Cavalry Arms as a 'heads-up' business that didn't draw any suspicion in their opinion.

The ATF did not go into any details as to exactly what firearms laws had been broken, only that they were processing and seizing all of the weapons at the Gilbert gun manufacturer.

The ATF directed future inquiries to the US Attorney's office, whom said they wouldn't comment on an on-going investigation.
