Owning a .223 caliber rifle and a white van constitute probable cause that a person may have committed a crime? I don't think so.

Want to bet a judge would not have issued a warrant? You and I don't have to think such things do, but I guarantee you, if these agents wanted to they could have found a judge who would have approved it.

Fat chance. Simple ownership of a class of weapon that is legal is not probable cause unless it is coupled with additional evidence. And denying agents the ability to search is also not probable cause.
