Kind of gives new meaning to the term "gun nut"

All this was in his home in Los Angeles County, CA. He's a felon so they all were confiscated. Law enforcement is investigating just how he managed to purchase all of that. Gee, I'd certainly hope so.

I would like to point out that this man successfully defended his property from the Queen of England.

Came in expecting to read about someone shooting themselves in the nuts with their own gun. Leaving only slightly dissapointed.

Well, to be fair, she is a tough mofo. She parachuted into the Olympic opening ceremony after all. I've hard she chased Di into that tunnel, riding a motorbike (with Phillip in a sidecar waving a shotgun).

She could have turned up at any moment, sten-gun spitting death.

I'm curious whether there was some serious organised-crime gun-library or some other real crimina intent going on, or if the guy just had a problem with obsessive-compulsive behaviour (such that, in another culture with a different legal regime, he'd have just had an unecessarily large collection of cell phones or cars?)

I wondered what happened to slow.

 

[UNCjigga]

So...how many guns did he sell to other felons?

According to sources, he was just a collector.
What was the guys criminal history?

 

[Thebobo]

If that is part of his collection ib the pickup and his story holds true probable getting all scratched up in the truck and losing value. I can see a lawsuit.

Source? I didn't see that in the CNN link.

After not being satisfied with the CNN link, I searched the guys name

After entering the property early Thursday, they found a staggering number of weapons, including rifles, shotguns and handguns, some decades old.
...
Sources familiar with the investigation said the owner seems to be a firearms collector as opposed to someone about to use the guns for violence
...
Agua Dulce is locted in a rocky, mountainous region about 45 minutes north of Los Angeles.

Fernandez was sentenced to 486 days in jail for an unspecified felony conviction in February 2017, but was released in August 2017, according to jail records.

Thanks! I looked earlier and couldn't find the info as to what his record was. I guess they don't consider him a great risk to the rest of the populace as they have released him on bail. I want to know how he managed to buy all that - maybe he did it before the felony conviction.

It's possible the firearms fall under the ATF 'curios and relics' category given that some are described in the news story as being decades old. Hopefully the police investigate and don't press charges if that's the case and this guy isn't judged as being a risk to others using his (potentially antique and exempt from most federal firearm laws) "collection."

His conviction is from last year and he's 60 years old. He apparently lives out in the sticks
If the conviction from last year is his only conviction then he's had a lifetime to amass that collection. Many people have very large impulse driven collections so "the arsenal" could be nothing more than the equivalent of some guys magic the gathering card collection or knife collection or every game cartridge from the past 4 decades collection.
It could be a case where the source is wrong and this guy is full on dealer.

I'd like to see what his criminal history is.

 

[IronWing]

We found Neo!

But how many cigarettes did they find?

 

[tweaker2]

Hey, if he was one of those closet anarchists, I bet he was thinking when the shit goes down, he needed all of that hardware to fend off the looters because then he didn't need to reload/cool down fer like ferever.

I think it's funny the DSM defined some gaming addictions as a mental health disorder but don't define this kind of gun hoarding as a mental sickness.

so glad they could save us from this dangerous criminal and his antiquated WW-1 bolt action rifle collection.Yep - he's a danger...

Why aren't you concerned about the enforcement of gun laws? The guy was felon ergo he can't legally possess a fire arm any more.

We can debate if that is appropriate, but what we constantly hear after mass shootings is that no laws are needed because the ones on the books need to be enforced.

The law was enforced here and you show up bitching about it being enforced.

Fucking gun nutters.

DSM defined the 80s and 90's bruh

Maybe he bulk bought two or three other guys gun collections?

 

[Jhhnn]

He's probably been collecting those guns for 40 years. I really think that people convicted of felonies should be made to understand that they can no longer own firearms & be given a grace period in which to dispose of them.

Did they happen to find a collection of Legos stored similarly in a McLaren?

responsible gun owners are all about law and order....except when they aren't!
