Maybe he was just an avid collector?

You're going to love the photo with the article.

Of course in California they'll destroy all the weapons.

That's impossible. Felons can't get guns.

I wonder why the guy would bother "hiding" 91 of them. And how come they missed them during the first search?

Just cause you are a felon shouldn't mean you can't own a few self defense tools. Just like just cause you're a raping Kennedy or Clinton doesn't mean you can't be a President.

I'd be interested to know what the previous felony conviction was.

Over 20 in that pic are AR uppers.... that’s a lot of surplus looking rifles above though.

Tax evasion can make one a felon. Wonder if he needs to be shot or just has bad luck. Article doesn’t say. Go figure...

Unpossible. There are laws against this!

 

[Plott Hound]

Well clearly we need more laws to prevent this type of thing from happening.

Felons can't buy guns, but he probably found these while scuba diving at the scene of a recent series of boating accidents.

Ridiculous laws are ridiculous.

Registering as a Republican in CA?

Nice little starter collection.

Actually, from gunlaw.com, the last bit about seized weapons says:

Finally, what happens to seized firearms that are not returned to the owner or released to a licensed dealer? Seized firearms may be destroyed, sold at auction to holders of Federal Firearms Licenses or retained for "...use in carrying out the official duties of the agency..." or delivered to the military.

So basically they can sell them for a profit, or just keep whatever they want. You expect any less from the crown?

anyone else notice that while they mention ammo they don’t say “forty seven million rounds” and they don’t show stacks of ammo in the picture. I think there was very little ammo, FWIW.

 

[fishgutzy]

Let me guess. He is also an illegal alien or amnesty recipient?

 

[Jerzsubbie]

I wonder if they’re counting the 23 AR uppers as firearms. Knowing CA, I certainly expect them to.

 

[cjcullom]

Redneck Revolt was the owner and they just forgot to register. They are free to come pick them up anytime.....

At a conservative $450/gun, that's a $290,000 collection.

'a tip from a neighbor'

Yeah....another reason not to have neighbors in your business.

I wonder if he had kids and if he will be separated from them.
