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.

Thanks for the pic. The bottom row of that spread appears to be AR uppers, which are not legally “firearms” by themselves. I’d take a few of them off their hands if the price is right.
Pero a que refieres? ISIS o mexicano? O ambos? Tuve muchos estudiantes hispanos in mis clases—it was a very handy language to have when I was teaching.
I think I also see a broom handled Mauser in the bottom center row of handguns.
Most of those rifles are hunting style bolt actions. Not exactly a gangbanger’s arsenal.
For the record, I did a count on the photo and I make it 330 guns.
Make that 370, they always inflate everything
“If that is the guy’s back deck..”
Probably the police station, there are large plaques on the left wall and some official-looking signs here and there.
Master hoggmeister probably has a raging turgid (tiny) thang hearing this.
I bet you are right. An illegal who has cartel connections somehow.
Oh, my. So sorry about the little boating accident. Good thing this guy didn’t have one, or the lake would have flooded clean out of its banks.
Nice collection. Spotted a No.5 Mk1 Enfield in the front row and a very nice Steyr SSG in the back rows near a M1917 Enfield. Great taste in firearms!
I could be wrong though. The article says this was a convicted felon.
Any illegal here in the US arrested for a felony crime usually gets a “Get out of jail free: card. And maybe (maybe) deported back to ol’ Meh-hee-co.
Until they cross again and commit more crimes.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Collector?
Sorry, but I think you have had too much Kool-Aid to drink. If he’s a dangerous person - citizen or otherwise - he needs to be locked up. Conversely, if he’s free he must be no danger to the public and should therefor be free to collect all the guns, ammunition and magazines he wants - just like you should.
This guy was 60 years old. We don't have much to go on in this story but it certainly looks like this is typical law enforcement, enforcing laws on someone who is not a threat to anyone. Meanwhile MS-13 will kill 10 people in the time it takes to read this story.
I am aware that the law says a convicted felon can't posses a firearm but that is clearly NOT what the constitution says. Do convicted felons lose other unalienable rights? No they don't. Once someone who commits a crime and has paid their debt to society and are released they should again be constitutionally whole and that includes the right to keep and bear arms.
Manuel Fernandez.....hmmmm
He’s a convicted felon....how in California could he even have one legally?
That being said we still have many unconstitutional laws and in this case he should have failed a NICS check if he was purchasing through a dealer. However he may have been purchasing guns from individuals, even out of state.
Bottom line I see nothing, nada, zero , zilc to convince me this guy was a threat to anyone.
The second Amendment doesn’t have an exception for convicted felons.
Got your tip right here: every home, in the 'hood and barrio, that houses known 'bangers, has within its confines weapons that are illegal to possess in CA and Los Angeles. Plus most of those places' inhabitants include convicted felons. So, go shake down those domiciles under reasonable suspicion. Set an example for Chicago to do the same.
Didn't think so.
Fue bueno para mi tambien mientras viva en Laredo como un “teenager.” No pude conseguir un trabajo en McDonald’s porque no hablaba espanol en ese momento. Me uni a la NAVY y fui enviado a la escuela de espanol. Es una muy buena “tool” para tener.
