- California authorities found a man illegally owning 248 guns and 1 million rounds of ammo.
- The state attorney general said he also had 3,000 magazines and several grenades in his home.
- The guns included 11 machine guns, 133 handguns, and 60 assault rifles, authorities said.
As someone else mentioned, it’s likely he was a black market seller.
Machine guns can go for $20k+, easy, people with the kind of cash to have a dozen and an ammo stockpile just for collection purposes are going to do it legally.
$20k+ is pretty standard for on register transferable guns. Off register illegal machineguns can go for much less than that, like Glock switches. Unless we’re talking about already very rare models of MGs.
They posted a picture with some of the seized weapons.
There’s what sure looks like a Browning M2 in there, bro. They’re 10k for the Army.
I’m not saying it’s impossible he was dumb enough to put together an illegal hoard worth more than a house, I’m saying there’s more likely answers.
