More than 1000 weapons seized

A massive collection of more than 1,000 weapons (and thousands of rounds of ammunition) were seized from a Los Angeles home. Aerial images showed a large variety of weapons poured across the home's driveway in Holmby Hills.

Just another responsible gun owner exercising his Second Amendment "rights" to be armed and dangerous.

Not sure owning that many guns is illegal, unless they were either modified or illegally obtained.

From: https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-atf-lapd-investigation-20190508-story.html

The ATF said in a statement that its agents searched the home after discovering an individual illegally selling firearms “outside the scope of the federal firearm license that the individual possesses.”

...


The man was arrested on suspicion of unlawful transportation, and of giving, lending or selling an assault weapon, according to the LAPD.

... not sure that home in that high end neighborhood was properly zoned for a gun sales establishment. There is likely other paperwork that was required for gun retail sales - that paperwork and licensing was also not up to snuff is a wild guess.
