| 2018-06-20 |
| [LA Times] A search of a felon’s home in Agua Dulce led Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators to a stash of more than 500 firearms, marking one of the largest seizures from a person forbidden by law from possessing guns. Investigators raided the home of Manuel Fernandez after getting a tip that he had an arsenal of firearms. After entering the property early Thursday, they found a staggering number of weapons, including rifles, shotguns and handguns, some decades old. Fernandez, 60, was arrested after the raid, during which investigators found 432 guns. A search the next day uncovered 91 firearms concealed in the house. Investigators also seized electronics used to purchase the weapons. The investigation led detectives to a woman linked to the firearms purchases. While she was not home, detectives recovered 30 guns from her home, officials said. |

| #8 Maybe he’s an illegal immigrant so the rules don’t really apply since he’s fleeing oppression or poverty or just a shitty place ? |

| #5 ...I'm sorry, but this is a fake news story - there is simply no way this man broke all the laws that were in place to prevent this. We have been told repeatedly that more laws = more safety. This event, therefore, is unpossible. (sarc/OFF) Mike |

| #4 The Sheriff’s Department and the California Department of Justice found so many guns that they asked the Bureau Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives for assistance. I hope important people at the ATF remembered to give Eric Holder a courtesy call, just on the off chance.... |
