Why would anyone illegally own guns in America? Don’t the licenses come in cereal boxes?
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.
You can't own a full auto without a special license that's very difficult to attain in any state
It's not difficult, it's expensive, and per weapon, and has to be renewed fairly often.
In addition california limits mags to 15 rounds.
It's 10 rounds
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.
Most states don't require licensure at all. You complete a background check at time of purchase as required by federal law, and if you aren't a felon or prohibited for other reasons, you proceed with the purchase.
Yup it's totally fucked up. After I picked out my handgun it took 15 minutes after that to complete my purchase. Ordered my food right after they started the background check cause I thought it might take a while. Got my firearm and my food was still hot when I got back.
There really needs to be more before being able to buy a firearm. At the VERY least training and safety courses. This is where my opinion gets considered controversial, but if we had a better health care system I think annual mental health checkups for gun owners should be a thing.
Because they are illigal immigrants, cant own a gun if you are not a legal resident sooooooooo the question is not why did he have guns but why was he here?
