33. An AR could also fall into that camp.

It just depends on what those other firearms are. 25 of them being AR's and AK's sends a bigger red flag than maybe 2 or 3. They mention an "m4", but nothing else of which I tend to question the validity of that in most cases(though he is an ex-cop so maybe a little more likely). I'd be more worried about the partially assembled pipe bomb which shows greater intention than the arsenal.

If you ever talked to those types that have that level of disdain for cops it's not about "surviving" but rather taking as many of those involved with the system with them as possible. There really isn't much dilution of overthrowing the system and riding off into the sunset. At most they want a conflict to send a message and get people questioning the system of which there has been a greater influx of that these past few years. To a lot of them it's about their rights being violated which they feel are worth dying over.
