Ex-Con With Heart Of Gold Arrested

111306joseph.jpg
When we last saw Joseph Mammana, the ex-con-turned-crime fighter was attempting to help Natalee Holloway's family find her killers or her or whatever.

And now, he's been arrested. Authorities from the FBI and IRS searched Mammana's Yardley residence and North Philly egg factory (ha!) to find tax records when they found a revolver. NBC 10 reports:

Because his previous felony convictions carried more than a year jail sentence, it is illegal for him to possess a firearm in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce. The investigation found that the gun was registered to his father, who died in 1979, and that the gun was manufactured and was operable outside of Pennsylvania, which made it illegal for Mammana to possess it.

I'm not really interested in Mammana's arrest. I'm more excited about this new technology that can render a gun operable in only one state! How cool is that?
