Massive Arsenal...Yup!

[Blooglo]

I wonder how many LE manhours it took to arrange that collection for the photo op? Tax $ hard at work

It reminds me of a Pink Floyd album picture- Ummagumma, maybe?

 

[308rifleman]

I'm impressed (and jealous)! Wonder who the.snitch was who

More than 500 guns seized from Southern California homes

 

[308rifleman]

Wonder who ratted him out? Neighbor? Acquaintance? His own wife or girlfriend? Got to be careful these days. I work in Boston. I guarantee that if any of my coworkers knew I own firearms, plus. BCD from the military, they make a beeline to the HR office to rat me out and get me fired. Good job, great salary, health insurance for the wife and kids would vanish very quickly. Got to keep gun ownership and personal problems from the past to yourself, especially in nanny states like MA and CA.

 

[MGnoob]

Is that some kind of warehouse or the suspects home?
If its his home, its a reasonable amount of guns.

 

[Shark_Cage]

Why does this remind me of Jim Jones's Guyana?

The’re all praying to the gun god

 

[Penniepup1]

Sad that they will never be put into a good home.

 

[Horrible]

"He’s (Fernandez) free on bond. A call by The Associated Press to his listed phone number rang unanswered Monday."

Bet they will have a difficult time finding him again.

Couldn't have been the great drug kingpin that we all had him pegged for if he's out on bond so quickly.

I don't know how CA does things, but if they were siezed here then sent off to Village Vault for "safe keeping" at
50 cents per day per firearm, 550 firearms comes out to $275.00 per day, $8,250 a month, $99,000 a year,
and that's just for storage fees.

For some, state sanctioned crime really does pay

 

[rwl1955]

Wow, quite impressive.

 

[fitzknny]

Huumm keeping those wiped down and oiled to prevent rust will take some time. DAMN.

Where is the ammo?

Probably still lining the rounds up to look like belts of MG ammo . . . . Optics count in "nuttyville"

 

[Noreaster]

Faux news changed that story a lot since i read it this AM.

I take it back - i think. I was thinking / confusing this with a thread on a CA ERPO confiscation.

 

[milktree]

Damn... the picture of all those rifles just stacked up like firewood in the back of the pickup makes me sad.

I can see a Mouser Broomhandle in there, that's not your typical gangbanger gun.

 

[WanMan99]

They have a better selection there than my LGS has.

 

[67ray]

I see Python, Deagle, 1911, AR/AK, lots of shotties. Worst pic is the one where they are all thrown together in the back of a pickup truck.

 

[JayMcB]

I like how the massive number gives "authorities" a warm and fuzzy that the owner is just a collector and not looking for trouble

wonder what that threshold is

One. If you want to know the threshold, for .gov...it's ONE.

 

[67ray]

Should have moved one state over to Arizona - much less trouble then

I know where you’re coming from but I’ve found that divulging the firearms information has led to more friends than foes

that's how they found them. The offender violated storage laws.

 

[Come and take]

NES group buy!

 

[Arto]

looks like lotsa overtime?

 

[TC McQuade]

California proper gun storage?

I guess they didn't have enough department owned vehicles to haul all that away.

NES Meet and Greet.

They spent hours laying them out so carefully for the photo, then spent three minutes throwing them into the back of a truck like cordwood.

Hmm... "like cordwood" sounds familiar.

 

[Zappa]

Article doesn't say how he became a PP

Or how long he's been a PP.
It takes a long time to amass a collection like that, and it's highly unlikely he purchased that many guns without ever going through a NICS check or any involvement by an FFL.

......and it's highly unlikely he purchased that many guns without ever going through a NICS check or any involvement by an FFL.

the ever popular "gun show loophole" i would imagine.

 

[Spanz]

From the OP's title, I was prepared to be mildly amused by the definition of an arsenal. But I have to say, that is a lot of iron, no mater how you look at it.

...

Indeed!

 

[Rat187]

A convicted felon that had apparently turned his life around: $670,000 ranch, $100,000 diesel pusher motorhome , $100,000 Mercedes 500 series, new Chevy long-bed truck.

The perplexing question here is what led him to return to a life of crime ?

 

[bilra]

mostly $20 bolt action clunkers. Wonder how many are Mosins?

 

[Broc]

Do these $20 rifles come with the $50K livable house in OK?

Lol...$20 rifle.
