Now if his felony was failure to pay child support or something stupid, I might change my mind.

Dude was convicted and Sentenced to 486 days IN FEB 2017.

He owned all of these prior to then, unless you think he just got out and bought a 500 firearm arsenal the next day.

Also, records searches come up with an unspecified Felony...

I saw in another article the guy was over 60 and wasn't a felon until 2017. I'd assume he was a collector that had all of this stuff before committing his special crime.

I love it how the unwashed and uninformed media types think that owning a lot of weapons makes a person even more dangerous when the reality is that most arsenals are essentially paperweights and a storage problem. I mean Deadpool can handle two Desert Eagles at the same time, but thats how movie magic works.

The argument regarding the right or wrong of firearms ownership/possession aside, The charges filed against him seem to be state charges. HAs anyone heard of the Feds bringing charges under GCA '68?

Seems to have a little bit of everything. Couple dozen AR uppers, a Mauser pistol as well as a bunch of old milsurp stuff. Deer rifles, shotguns, modern pistols. I'm jelly, but I feel safer now.

Looks like he had a lot of military surplus. Once I had a lot of guns, but never that many.

Bank robbery or something else? The media report merely kept reporting he was a convicted felon. I can't say either way if I think he shouldn't have been turned in, but incomplete news stories tend to turn out to be less than what was reported.

All I can say is California has a database of who owns what he should have lost this stuff in a boating accident at the time of his conviction.
