SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- In the South Bay, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office said, "assault weapons, machine guns, and ghost guns" (all illegal weapons), were seized from what they're calling a "sophisticated ghost gun factory."
Three people are now in custody, accused of running the operation out of a home in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood.
Ask residents in the neighborhood, and many feel there's an undeniable sense of safety across this small pocket of San Jose.
However, located a little more than a mile outside of Downtown Willow Glen's core is what authorities are calling a full-scale ghost gun factory.
Along Roy Avenue and inside what's being described as an "unassuming $1.6-million home," a small arsenal was recently uncovered.
Weapons seized included eight assault weapons, like AK and AR-style rifles, as well as two handguns.
"Ghost guns are completely off the grid basically," Councilmember Dev Davis told ABC7 News.
The house is located in her district. Councilman Davis said state laws will take effect on July 1, which will tighten ghost gun restrictions.
"There's actually a new law coming online in July, so that any un-serialized weapons or firearm parts will be illegal to have possession of," she explained.

No, see — it was “safe” because there were three felons living in that one house.
Ghost guns are “popular with the criminal element” donchya know.
How does this reporter know? She doesn’t. It just sounds scary.
And that is the other half of this story- if you look at their mug shots, they look like a rough crowd. The only one I could find info on was Amanda Bazzani, and she is no saint. I can’t get arrest info, but none of them look like law abiding citizens. ANTIFA, maybe? A clandestine mini factory for another long hot election year summer?
So you saw Steve Jobs cruising around?
He was famous for NEVER having license plates on his car.
What you didn’t know is he had a series of identical high end cars that he leased. You don’t have to have plates for the first 6 months, and when the time was up to get plates he instead got a new car... an identical car.
The writers at ABC hate guns. It’s obvious. “eight assault weapons”. Oh my!
You should have moved to WV. Buy rifles and shotguns from owners at flea markets.
This would be an average neighborhood home here in Idaho, notwithstanding the $1.6M market value (although we’re getting there pretty quick).
Communists don’t understand “tools” (or skills for that matter)

That is unfortunate, but true. The government does disregard the Constitution quite often.
Sad, but true.
There is a Nobel Prize in it for whoever designs a self-correcting government. Or at least a way to get an established government to follow it's own rules.
*glances Northward*
Lookin' right at you Trudeau...
But as to home brewed firearms... We've been doing this, literally, since we were Colonies. Locksmiths teamed up with Blacksmiths to create the various spring/trigger mechanisms and modernization of smithing/machining has almost universally been led by the private sector. Cody Wilson is just the latest in a long line.
Instead of celebrating our entrepreneurial spirit and the expression of our Individual Rights... We're being demonized at every turn. Er... again.
That is a 1.6 million dollar home in CA!
BEWAHAHAHAHAHAAH...And it’s even got one of those wrought iron ghetto fences out front...Gezzz
What kind of fool would pay that for kind of money for an old run down cookie cutter house? Crips!
Sounds like a slice of heaven.
I know. I’m the proud owner of a Grizzly G4003G lathe and a milling machine. Rifling machine on the near horizon.
Is that a .50 caliber chuck on the floor model?
Isn't that supposed to be the new norm in California??
This is *not* federal law.
Several states, including California, have made it illegal to sell a gun without government permission.
In East Bay, up the hill from Oakland a two bedroom stucco cottage from the 30’s will cost more than 2 million.
