I guess we would consider a good start.

Selling assault weapons and 50cal rifles was the charge.
But no pictures of those weapons.

A lot of deaths in America each year from 50 cal rifles. Sarcasm now off.

California go figure.....

A report that I read said the total was 1200 firearms and 7 tons of ammo.

Can you imagine how many LEO hours will be burned up just inputting the serial numbers to a database, and probably having to contact some owners if they turn up stolen? I'm glad that's not my job. Of course the LEO's will have to find some storage space also. Wow.

I am pretty certain they were outlawed in CA but not so much by federal government. So why was ATF involved? Wouldn’t this be a state charge and not federal?

Time Magazine salivating over gun seizure.

Aerial photograph shows a lot of guns.

Maybe someone can explain why legal guns are being seized. Said civil war weapons. Said many collector guns, obviously not being treated very carefully.

4am raid at a mansion near Playboy mansion.

Warrant based on a tip. One of those anonymous tips? Selling guns not allowed by his license. So if your rich you sell guns to make money?

Even if everything was legal he will NOT get all of his guns back.

He may have a collector's FFL license. If I understand correctly, if he was shipping/receiving directly from/to his address anything but the collectable firearms then he'd be in violation of his license. If he was selling many non-collectable firearms, even without shipping, the ATF may have decided he was acting as a dealer.

I originally had that in my first post. I read the story again and found that they were talking about the previous record gun seizure in 2010 which was 1200 guns and 7 tons of ammunition. The homeowner was also found dead outside in his SUV, which was also strange.

This seizure didn’t break the record. Apparently liberals track gun seizures for fun and note records.
