LAPD finds 1,200 guns, two tons of ammo in dead man's Pacific Palisades home

Sounds like a good case of 'even though you are dead, you are still guilty until proven innocent'. Guns and Commiefornia, what else would we expect.

You biatch. Daddy never really loved you.

Some people will do ANYTHING for guns...

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

Well, 1200 guns is a lot of Walmart cards at the next buyback.

I would guess that the guy had identification on him, but they haven't made an independent ID yet.

I suspect they mean formally identified for legal purposes. Appears they knew whose house to go check. Pacific Palisades is not exactly a neighborhood where derelicts go to die in anonymity.

I kind of thought it must be something like that, but the wording struck me as odd. They could've thown in "officially" or "formally" or some such and it would've been a little more plain.

“We don't think the weapons are illegal. We are taking them for public safety,” said Sgt. David Craig of the LAPD's gang and narcotics division. He said investigators removed the weapons to ensure the ammunition and guns wouldn't be stolen from the home.

So THAT'S where all the .22LR went...

So, they report the weapons/ammo collection and then they steal it so that it won't be stolen? Also, how did gangs and narcotics get involved in this?

 

[JTScribe]

I'm sure any nice or rare ones will be properly logged and make it to the evidence lockup.

Reports say all 2 tons were .22LR, and all purchased in the last two years. The collector didn't actually own any .22 weapons, he just thought it was funny.

 

[chipbennett]

PS watch for that 1,200 number to show up in LAPD's next round of statistics regarding guns taken off the street...

He was a hoarder, not a criminal. How can the police justify seizing private property? Sad that his body was found after a considerable amount of time. Apparently nobody thought enough of him to report him missing. All that stuff didn't do him any good at all.

 

[AngryRooster]

I wonder if he had much, if any, family. What kind of flaming hoops will they have to jump through to get custody of the weapons. I don't expect them to ever get them back if they want them. I'm pretty sure the LAPD will have a hard time releasing that many weapons to someone even if everything checks out just fine.

[Birds Away]

Ah, he had the starter kit.

 

[2A_Tom]

He will be persecuted to the full extent of the law. Oh! He's dead. Even better, dead men have no rights. We can bury him in the prison exercise yard forever, for his heinous crime against humanity.

6 tons of ammo? Ok. He wins.

The original story reported 2 tons, that's a healthy pile-o-ammo, but 6 tons, that's seriously impressive.
