A man accidentally tripped a burglary alarm in his Anaheim home and was arrested along with his housemate, who told officers over the phone to inspect their house, resulting in the discovery and seizure of over 150 guns from the residence on Monday, Dec. 16.
Officers responding to an automated notification from an alarm triggered at a house near West Broadway and South Archer Street found the front door of the dwelling open, Anaheim Police Sgt. Shane Carringer said. They called one of the people registered to that address, and he asked police to enter the home to investigate.

A medium to large gun collection around here. The "no serial numbers" can be totally bogus BS, too. Until 1968 there was no requirement that ANY guns have a serial number and a hell of a lot of them did not get a serial number at the factory. I own several .22 rifles and shotguns which never had a serial number, and are perfectly legitimate.
As to "illegal in California", that is pretty much BS in many cases. I'd like to know if any are illegal by federal law or just Cali's lunatic gun laws which outlaw normal guns which are legal in almost all the rest of the country.

Violation of rights under color of law. Title 18, sect 241 and 242 if they haven't been moved. After Heller, sue them all, their limited immunity doesn't protect them in such cases.

I had no problems looking at the article, even with an ad blocker on.
Clarification: If any guns had serial number removed, that is a crime, a serious one. But just a gun without a serial number could easily be a legal gun made prior to 1968. As to "high powered rifles", I saw a WW2 Russian bolt action army rifle, a WW2 US Garand rifle US Army surplus rifle, what appears to be a cheap bolt action shotgun (the kind of gun that was often made without a SN), a Uzi with short barrel....which would have to be sem-auto and the "folding stock" non-functional, i.e. won't unfold, to be a pistol to be federally legal. they are sold with stocks welded in place, as legal pistols. If the stock unfolds, it is an illegal short barreled rifle, if semi-auto. The folding stock AK is legal in most states if it is the typical semi-auto version sold here. If any are fully auto, and not ATF registered.....big crime. Can't tell by looking if a few of them are legal semi-auto, legal fully auto, or illegal fully auto. It gets way down into fine, technical
points of gun laws, federal and state. Hard to be certain what is legal any more. They are trying to make ALL of them illegal.
As to what Cali thinks is not OK.....who in the heck knows, and lots of guns that were legal have been made illegal in Cali, so this guy might be afoul the law without having bought illegal guns, just keeping them after they were deemed illegal by Cali.
Could actually be a real criminal selling guns illegally, or he could be a "gun guy" with some stuff that would be legal in most other states, maybe even formerly legal in Cali. Can't be sure from the picture, and reporters are typically so clueless about guns and gun laws that the articles are usually a pathetic mishmash of misinformation.

Thank God I live in a free state. Nobody poops on the sidewalk and nobody much cares about your guns.

Sounds like a SCOTUS case, to me.

An Uzi and an AK-47. Two of the best firearms in the world. I envy those guys.

Frankly, I am of the opinion that no U.S. citizen, even with a past criminal record, should be denied owning a gun. If a criminal is dangerous enough to be disarmed, then he should be in prison, or hanging from the gallows.
Likewise, until sometime after WWI, private citizens could and did own weaponry that was as advanced or moreso than U.S. military issue. While i could see a registry for certain types of weapons, (fully automatic, cannon, armor piercing or military ordinance) i actually object to the banning of private ownership.
Absolutely, though, only U.S. citizens should legally possess weapons of any kind, right down to pocket knives, and any foreign national off embassy grounds would be absolutely forbidden.
Misuse of weapons by anyone that caused serious harm or death would be referred possible death sentence.
