    Besides, everyone knows that if you coat your guns in a 50/50 gasoline/stop leak mix they won't rust. These guys were just amateurs.

    Zooming in, that red definitely looks like red dirt to me. If these had been used in crimes, I would have expected them to be destroyed, not buried. I'm guessing it was someone's SHTF or illegal stash but the owner died before retrieving them.

    It is oxidation/rust. Case in point, look at the AR-15. All plastic and aluminum parts... no red.

    The barrel, however, is made out of steel. The oxidation might make it easier to stick some dirt to it too, but the steel components are all universally rusted on those.

    a little elbow grease and they could be GTG.

    Maybe planting a bush that close to the house? Surely they weren't planting some tree that was supposed to grow to 20'-30' tall.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    The bury depth seems shallow, makes me think it was a hasty stash more than a cache.
