received calls from gun dealers interested in purchasing the now roughly 1,500 firearms -- most of which of were in mint condition -- found stored in the Palisades Drive home.
The 6.5 tons of ammunition recovered from the home will likely be destroyed by law enforcement, he said.

Buy the guns? They’ll play hell getting the cops to let them go.
I’ll help destroy that ammo one round at a time. For free.
This is a crime. If it is done, the police will have another black mark in my little book.
I see what you did there! LOL!
Piling them up on top of each other like cordwood on the ground sorta ruins the ‘mint’ claim.
" Inside the home, Braun found machetes, bows and arrows, hundreds of CDs and scores of tools. Investigators also found $230,000 in cash."
'Cept for the cash I've got that in my living room right now.
Police:”Guns? What guns? All we found was an old double barrel and a .22.
guns are not only legal, they are our ONLY specifically-protected possessions in our constitutional republic.
for the government to destroy them is both irrational and wasteful
either they belong to a citizen, in which case they should be returned immediately,
or else there are no owners or heirs (very rare) in which case they should be sold, and the proceeds donated to charity or perhaps maybe escheated to the general fund of the state or city involved
if the government says it will “destroy” this property....
we need to watch them very very carefully.
all property, all firearms, have some market value
and
police like guns anyway, a well-known fact is that many police are gun collectors, marksmen, hunters, etc and etc
put simply... there are enough dishonest people on Rock Three ....including in government......perhaps especially in government..... that these items need to be watched lest they just get stolen
yes, police and government agents can and sometimes do steal things they’ve seized
honest police? yes indeed! crooked cops? yes indeed!
there are both kinds
this stuff needs to be watched
Wouldn’t the guns and ammo belong to his estate and need to be processed through probate?
The 6.5 tons of ammunition recovered from the home will likely be destroyed by law enforcement, he said.
FELONY GRAND THEFT!
Also, the man died in the car with his fiancée's property manager, and she left him in the car, dead. She and the fiancée then hopped in another car and left for Oregon.
I can't wait to hear what else they uncover regarding this story. Perhaps they will make it into a movie!!!
Watch him die for an hour or two, then lock the car door and split for Oregon with his 'property manager' and spend a week 'healing', then (after local police 'find' you at a motel) return to LA, 'discover' the body, and hire a lawyer to get a grip on his $five million plus stuff.
legally owned private property that the police have announced they have the right to destroy on their own initiative... and the LA Times reporters don’t even raise an eyebrow???
velcome to zee police state. please show uns your paperz!!
Paranoid rookies I guess.
In my misspent youth I was at a private card game in Indiana.
There was at least $2500.00 on the table from the each of the five us.
When the newspaper ran the story with our faces the next day, there was a total of $500.00 in play.
No heirs? And why destroy the ammo? I’m sure gun dealers would bid on that too.
Heck, those guns have already found their way into those cop’s private collections.
Well stated.
If she had dropped him at the local emergency room, she may have been sole heir to his estate.
It does appear that the coppers are being very piggish with the property of others.
