Spends $40K on "high end" firearms.
Needs to raise funds to defend against felony laws prohibiting assault-style firearms?
You posted the gun collection was "California Legal". That's partly true. The "Assault Weapons" (and we know that definition was created by CA lawmakers) were made illegal by a new law.
So, "they confiscated his collection which contained some recently-made-illegal firearms" would be more accurate.
The AWB in CA is obviously in conflict with existing law and the Constitution, but that's not going to be this person's primary defense. He knew the new law, and he had the illegal firearms -- just as CA lawmakers intended. They made a felon out of a law abiding gun owner to make sure he can never own another gun legally ever again. Cops hope that red flag laws weed out the newly-created criminals, but never discount the policing benefits of stumbling upon contraband in the name of "verifying the place was safe."

I was born and raised in CA.
I think I have been in Hawaii
longer than I was in CA.
I lived in WA state for 20 years or so.
I believe all these states governments
are about as fucked as can be.
I have no respect for any governments
there or here.
If those governments die.
Good riddance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never, ever, ever talk to a cop.
I keep a lawyer on speed dial.
I never violate laws, but
cops do as they please.
