Just another responsible gun owner exercising his Second Amendment "rights" to be armed and dangerous.

Not sure owning that many guns is illegal, unless they were either modified or illegally obtained.

The man was arrested on suspicion of unlawful transportation, and of giving, lending or selling an assault weapon, according to the LAPD.

... not sure that home in that high end neighborhood was properly zoned for a gun sales establishment. There is likely other paperwork that was required for gun retail sales - that paperwork and licensing was also not up to snuff is a wild guess.
