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. ..."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.

Well, a stopped clock is right twice a day.
500 firearms in the possession of a felon qualifies as an ‘arsenal’ in my book.
First time ever the press got it right.
Made one arrest?
I’d bet money that we’re talking about an illegal. Who should never have been invited in.
The word "arsenal" is often used to refer to a Ruger 10/22, a single shot 12 gauge, and a lever action 30-30. In this case, the guy had more firearms than most shooters on Free Republic, and far too many for a convicted felon banned from owning firearms. It's an arsenal.
They arrested a guy that is clearly a gun collector. Meanwhile MS-13 is coddled by this same government.
Whose army was he fixin’ to arm? ISIS? Mexicans?
They arrested him on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a patently unconstitutional charge to begin with and yet it’s just suspicion. What they don’t KNOW if he is a felon? And he also has high capacity magazines? The horror! Did this guy commit any real crimes or just make believe crimes manufactured by government control freaks?
Well, in this case, a convicted felon is not legally allowed to have a hobby that entails "Collecting Guns".
Gun collector... maybe, and I’ll go with that for now, but I wonder who those guns would eventually be used against? Comprende amigo?
when is the auction?
... and we have a Winner! Si se puede amigo!
If that is the guy’s back deck... he’s loaded. No pun intended.
More than I had, before the accident.
There’s probably some jewels in there.
Some anonymous source claims it isn’t for violence?? Seems these are firearms of a revolution.
It’s definitely not a shack in the slums.
can you say gun runner for drug cartels? Or gun laundry(cleaning up gun histories and markings)? Say, maybe he’s the guy that is mentioned when someone whispers, “Hey, I know a guy.....”
