I wonder if Trump thinks this fellow should have been profiled

Probably not. He was just protecting himself from "radical Islamic terrorists" I'm sure:
Authorities seized an arsenal of illegal guns, grenades and bomb-making materials from a southeastern Sioux Falls apartment Thursday, days after a bullet pierced a neighbor's wall.
Officers executed a search warrant at 4901 E. 54th St. as part of an investigation into how a .22-caliber slug wound up inside a next door neighbor's mattress.
Darren Kyle Zafft, 29, and Jennifer Marie Cash, 35, were arrested and charged with multiple counts of possession of controlled weapons and explosives with criminal intent.
Police found 114 guns, including more than a dozen illegally modified rifles and shotguns. They found two handmade silencers, multiple grenades, about 10,000 rounds of ammunition and $20,000 cash. The bomb squad also removed gunpowder, fuses, and other equipment for making explosive devices.
"This could have been a very dangerous situation," police spokesman Sam Clemens said.
County prosecutor Aaron McGowan called Zafft a threat to law enforcement, citing a photo of a burning police car on Zafft's Facebook page. Zafft's bond was set at $1 million, cash only.
McGowan said Zafft is believed to be primarily responsible for the explosives and firearms in the home. Cash's bond was set at $5,000, cash only. Both made their initial court appearance Friday afternoon and were being held in Minnehaha County Jail.
The investigation began Sunday with a call from a resident of the apartment building who noticed a hole in his wall and later found a slug in a mattress. The property manager told detectives they had been in the adjoining unit recently and noticed several guns, Clemens said. A search warrant was issued Thursday.
"We don't have an answer to why they had them," Clemens said. "Whether or not we'll ever find out what his intent or purpose of having it, we may never know. I don't think we've had any indication that there was any type of plans to use these devices, but at this point we just don't know."
The family said they are all gun "collectors" which is the word we use for white people with a huge arsenal.
Family members were at the apartment Friday morning. A man who identified himself as Zafft's uncle but would not give his name expressed frustration about the charges.
"They aren't going after criminals; they're going after guns. I blame Obama for this," the man said.
I don't know if they can prove the bullet that came through the wall and lodged in the mattress came from one of these scary gun nuts' firearms. But if it did, they should be prosecuted. It's really frightening to think that you can be accidentally killed in your bed by your neighbor's gun going off.
It happens all the time:
Family and friends of 28-year-old Jonathan Gardner are grieving.
They are wondering how the accidental shooting even happened just before 1 p.m. Sunday at the Wexford Lakes apartment complex off Burnham Drive in West Columbus.
At least one neighbor now says he’s scared for the safety of his family.
"I go outside and I'm looking around and I'm like, what's going on?” said Zach Simpkins, who lives in the same apartment building where the shooting happened.
“Well, a woman comes up to me and says, my boyfriend's been shot," he continued.
Simpkins lives with his fiance, who's expecting.
“Really, it was a shock kind of thing,” he said. “And I'm like ma'am, are you OK?"
Simpkins says the woman told him she was not hurt, but her boyfriend, Jonathan Gardner, had been shot.
Police say a man in a nearby apartment had accidentally fired a handgun.
The detective told 10TV the shot went through a wall, right into Gardner's apartment, striking him in the chest.
Garnder was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
"Honestly, after it happened, it scared the crap out of us, and we honestly went online and looked for other apartments, because we didn't want our kid being brought up where guns would be going off," Simpkins said.
