Yes his segment was extremely disappointing. It amounted to a lot of fear-mongering, and I have to wonder why they wasted an episode on this when there are so many more real issues they could have discussed.
This is not the first time.

This is not the first time.
Which is a constitutionally protected inalienable right given to all citizens of The United States. There is no limitation to how many firearms a U.S. citizen can own. There are many people who own hundreds of rifles and handguns. Any other commodity and we'd call it a "collection" but when it's firearms suddenly it's a "cache of weapons".
What matters, what you seemed to miss, is the way they describe the situation. They call it a "cache of weapons" on TV because that sounds like terrorism. When it's only American citizens exercising their rights.
They do that to manipulate ignorant people. They don't want you to ask questions when they murder a house full of people. Which they do a whole lot. WACO was unusual, being a big media circus, but they're actually really efficient at this murder business and it happens pretty frequently.
Yeah okay you try threatening people in power and see how far that gets you. They will show up at your house with machine guns, murder your entire family, and then they'll lie about what happened to the neighbors. "Drug bust gone wrong" or something. If you're a person who exercises your 2nd amendment rights they'll say you had a "cache of weapons". Remember WACO? That's what they do to people who threaten those in power.
The neighbors will believe whatever they're told, for 2 reasons. They don't want to believe that life is a nightmare, or they are already terrified for their lives and want to go on clinging to whatever table scraps they're currently feeding on.
This stuff has been going on for many many years.

And if you're only just now figuring that out, now in 2017? Then you haven't been paying attention.
Come on, protesting hasn't been real since the requirement of having "permits", and the creation of "free speech zones". We live in a tyrannical police state masquerading as a peaceful democracy, where trouble makers are gunned down by death squads who are later pardoned by the courts.
Just posting a comment like this on the internet will lead to downvoting and social penalties. Did you know that this site participates in the practice of "hell-banning"? That is where they silently blacklist people for expressing their unpopular opinions about any particular subject. Those people can no longer contribute, but they believe that they can because the system lets them post. But nobody ever sees their comments. It's the exact same thing as what the government does.
Many of "the people" belong to the tyrants' pyramid of control and those who don't are brainwashed by it.
"Is there any point to protesting?", hah I say. Wake up.

This.
At what point did the government become a special interest group which does not exist to protect the nation it serves? Providing good security advice is their job.
Even if they do have some super secret techniques, keeping them secret is not a strategy, it's what idiots who don't know anything about technology or computers or network security would do.
