    The article says that the man is prohibited from owning firearms, so he probably has a felony or something. I’m not sure about California, but you wouldn’t need any kind of special license to own all of those guns and ammo in a lot of states.

      Machine guns are illegal unless you have a… Class 3 permit? It’s a hassle so nobody does it.

      The qty of ammo isn’t illegal but really really above normal. The assault rifles are more of a buzzword unless they are burst or full auto, in which case would be illegal.

      You can’t own a full auto without a special license that’s very difficult to attain in any state
