Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Nichols wants his guns back
Convicted Oklahoma City bombing co-conspirator Terry Nichols is seeking the return of his guns seized by federal authorities so his family can sell them to support his adult children, lawyers said on Thursday.
Federal authorities confirmed that the FBI is in possession of guns Nichols, 60, owned as part of a gun show business. FBI agents seized the firearms after the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people.
In a report to U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch in Denver, Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Padden said she "plans to have a further discussion with (Nichols) to explore whether (they) may be able to resolve this issue without court intervention."
