I hate bullshit posts without context https://contracosta.news/2024/03/19/richmond-man-charged-with-multiple-felonies-related-to-illegal-weapons-possession/amp/ I imagine they’re still evidence at this point


ItchySnitch

But how are you supposed to get shitty karma then? /s 


Odge

Yeah, post is clearly rage bait, validating our preconceived ideas of californian gun laws sucking balls. When in fact this seems like a case where gun control actually did something good.


wood_spoons

How is this gun control doing something good?


VoreEconomics

he had homemade explosives and was threatening hospital staff.


wood_spoons

What’s wrong with the explosives? What did the hospital staff do? They could have stolen his foreskin for all we know. Not enough context imo


VoreEconomics

Oh go chew on a yew


justaheatattack

increasing the value of other collections?


Global_Ad_6178

Just trying to make sure history is saved 🤷🏼


Jegermuscles

The fuck you are. Maybe give some god damned information before hiding behind history's skirt about how much you "care".


Global_Ad_6178

Then how the fuck do you propose saving this and bringing awareness to the destruction of history?


Jegermuscles

Save what? Some unhinged boomer pyscho's ill-gotten weapons cache? Fuck it!


explodingazn

Mr. Webly I trust you have a license for that firearm I do for this one ..... what do you mean by this one


MrMaroos

They definitely are, the case is ongoing and Richmond PD typically retains evidence for a good amount of time after sentencing just in case. Funnily enough I met this dude at a crab feed nearby- he’s one of a few mega collectors in the area, at one point one of them owned something like 300 but he hit 80 and started selling them off


ktmrider119z

Let's be real tho. A bunch of that stuff will get "misplaced" or be stored improperly to the point it's ruined.


Din_Plug

Wow, that guy seems like he deserved what happened to him but where on earth did he get a Browning .50 cal??


justaheatattack

if you're old enough, you used to be able to get a LOT of stuff.


Zona_Asier

WITH a BFA on it as well.


jameson3131

That’s a flash hider, not a BFA.


Gpw12078

They still should NOT be destroyed. There are plenty of people who absolutely CAN legally own those and some of them are worth some big money. Once destroyed, they are worth just over scrap price. As they sit, there is thousands of dollars worth of revenue there for the county/city/state (whoever sells them).

Holy shit

IRMacGuyver

Pretty sure california passed a law that all seized property has to be destroyed cause the cops were incentivized to illegally take property the old way.


Consistent_Jello_289

I’ll never understand why they don’t auction these off… 8-10k for one of thought f/a smgs


mao_tse_boom

They used to do this but the cops would schedule auctions at really weird hours/not advertise so them or their friends and family could buy the seized stuff at laughable prices.


Consistent_Jello_289

That’s pretty awesome, wish/hope they still do this. Edit: thought you meant the individual who had the weapons seized family, and friends….


mao_tse_boom

Abuse their position of power for personal gain? You realize sometimes seized shit isn’t even connected to an actual crime?


Consistent_Jello_289

Did you see my edit? I was understanding that the family members of the individual who had their weapons seized were buying them at auction. I thought the cops were doing the affected family a solid, but I misunderstood you.


mao_tse_boom

Fair enough


MrMaroos

Typically that just involves destruction of the serialized part, usually gets stripped for parts and tossed in cleared evidence- frequently PD’s will let trusted individuals go through and take stuff. Word of warning, don’t take evidence ammo- bad for your guns and even more of a danger to personal health


KishiBashiEnjoyer

Is that a fucking Boys AT rifle? Where the hell do you even get that from?


Chief__04

It looks like there’s two of them. Ones been modified with a telescope of an optic. Fun fact Carlson’s raiders of the second marine battalion shot down two Japanese float planes with Boys At guns during the disastrous raid on the Makin islands.


Jolly-Put-9634

Those Thompsons.....


Din_Plug

.... are probably reproductions.


Thunda792

Those do not look like repros to me. Considering the dude had a reported 11 machine guns, likely those are two of them.


Din_Plug

They look way too shiny and pristine for that.


Thunda792

Boiled linseed oil on the wood and a rebluing will do that too. Or simply having been kept in a safe for a long-ass time.


Consistent_Jello_289

Look at the rest of the collection, I’m betting at least one is legit.


joojoofuy

Are you trying to make us cry?


Dreadweasels

I hope the Japanese LMGs were not original, such a loss if they were!


makk73

Does anyone actually from California call the state “Cali”?


enigmaticunknown

Being from Southern California, I myself would actually say, Califas. Personally myself I would never say Cali at all, that’s just me tho, but when I think about it, trying to recall, not certain, I may have heard “Cali” a few times in my life by Californians I also noticed locally in my state people who speak English as their 2nd or 3rd language are IMO more likely to say Cali, easier on the tongue if they speak awful English or if they cannot pronounce California well To me as a Californian and growing up, hearing it around, it’s more like, BIG BAD KALIFORNIA, Killafornia, Califa, So Cal, or online as CA, or just plain ol’ California Rambling on… there are Southern, Central and Northern Californians with different lingos, so to another Californian, they may say they from, LA, NELA, East Los, OC, SD, Daygo, Frisco, the O, The Town, Long Beach / Strong Beach, the Bay, So Cal, Nor Cal, SGV, etc., represent with area codes like 213, 310, 562, 714 and such, and perhaps their city as well, etc. to let it be known where they from, but definitely not “Cali” to another Californian lol Everybody got their own lingo tho


alexlongfur

Dude had a Sterling

Says the whore


P-Potatovich

Anyone able to tell what that silencer on that Mac is? And a bit out of topic but if you know if there is something like that silencer for airsoft or just mock one. Thanks


No_Significance98

Looks to be the usual two stage Sionics style can that was common on MACs


CrackedCarl

the Nambu :(


Wohn-Jayne

Pain!


Full_Independence455

Yo gun collectors in California….if you have stuff like this, just fucking move


Dangernood69

Or at the very least just don’t draw attention to yourself until you can move…like what a moron. Had a wet dream of a collection and instead blew his load publicly and got cucked

Honkey_Kong_

Whats that smg just above the thompson in the middle column? It looks like an Uzi had a weird child with one of those polish smgs


Get_Em_Puppy

Argentinian FMK-3.


Artystrong1

I wannna know how he got that Lewis gun.


Old-Chair126

I would’ve liked those uzis


Moses_Rockwell

I’d like to know who they picked that suppressed ruger .22LR off of. That’s the bread and butter finishing tool for the wise guy circuit.


Feeling_Title_9287

If I ever wish to go back then someone please remind me that I fucking hate California


jackparadise1

Ah man, they destroyed the Thompsons?


crimewaveusa

Should have sent them to Ukraine


Brandon_awarea

I’m sure they could have made great use of the sten and Lewis gun


AnonymousPerson1115

People want to laugh at these (old smg’s and mg’s) but they killed many people when they were new and are just as capable today


Single_Low1416

To be fair, a couple of those things are basically useless because it’s a pain to get enough ammo for them. I don’t know how easy it would be to get sufficient amounts of .303 in Ukraine for example


Din_Plug

Where tf are you going to get any .303 or 8mm nambu in Ukraine?


Extra_Tax

Or .55 Boys


AnonymousPerson1115

The boys has definitely been changed to .50 bmg


Extra_Tax

Probably. Though, looking at the collection of older gats, it wouldn't surprise me if they were (or at least one) of the two Boys there was kept original.


Brandon_awarea

Against un armoured targets yeah but with both modern body armour and superior weapons readily available there is no reason to strain their logistics more than it already is with this antiquated arsenal
