  • 550 Firearms Seized in California

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/19...nia-homes.html


    Authorities have seized more than 550 guns at two Southern California homes and made one arrest after getting a tip that a convicted felon was storing an arsenal.

    Sixty-year-old Manuel Fernandez was arrested last week after Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and state and federal investigators raided his Agua Dulce home.

    Officials Monday say the searchers found 432 rifles and handguns, then returned later and found 91 more hidden weapons.

    Finally, 30 guns were seized at another home believed linked to an associate of Fernandez who hasn’t returned to the home.

    "Detectives also seized computers, cellphones, and hard drives from the residence believed to be involved in the illicit purchase of firearms by the suspect," the sheriff's department said in its release.

    Fernandez was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition and illegally possessing an assault rifle and large-capacity magazines.
    The guy had quite the collection. In the pictures they show a bunch of AR uppers and it's not clear if they included them in the count. I'm not very good at identifying curio and vintage rifles, but there's at least one M1 Carbine, M1 Garand, and a broomhandle Mauser in the photos. I think I'm seeing a K31 as well. The photo of all the rifles stacked in the back of a pickup truck is a little upsetting considering how much some of those rifles are probably worth.

    Booked on "suspicion of being a felon in possession of firearms" seems like a weird way to word it. Don't they know for sure he's a felon? Would they raid his home and toss all his rifles in the back of a pickup truck if they weren't sure he's a felon?

    well, except what goes missing from "Evidence"

    “The case is a testament to the community’s involvement in reducing crime and taking guns out of the hands of criminals,” Sheriff Jim McDonnell said, citing it as a positive example of the department’s “see something, say something” campaign.
