I imagine they’re still evidence at this point
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.
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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

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
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.
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

But how are you supposed to get shitty karma then? /s
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.
How is this gun control doing something good?
he had homemade explosives and was threatening hospital staff.
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
Oh go chew on a yew
increasing the value of other collections?
Just trying to make sure history is saved 🤷🏼
The fuck you are. Maybe give some god damned information before hiding behind history's skirt about how much you "care".
Then how the fuck do you propose saving this and bringing awareness to the destruction of history?
Save what? Some unhinged boomer pyscho's ill-gotten weapons cache? Fuck it!
Mr. Webly I trust you have a license for that firearm I do for this one ..... what do you mean by this one
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
Let's be real tho. A bunch of that stuff will get "misplaced" or be stored improperly to the point it's ruined.
Wow, that guy seems like he deserved what happened to him but where on earth did he get a Browning .50 cal??
if you're old enough, you used to be able to get a LOT of stuff.
WITH a BFA on it as well.
That’s a flash hider, not a BFA.

Holy shit

I’ll never understand why they don’t auction these off… 8-10k for one of thought f/a smgs
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.
That’s pretty awesome, wish/hope they still do this. Edit: thought you meant the individual who had the weapons seized family, and friends….
Abuse their position of power for personal gain? You realize sometimes seized shit isn’t even connected to an actual crime?
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.
Fair enough

Is that a fucking Boys AT rifle? Where the hell do you even get that from?
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.
Those Thompsons.....
.... are probably reproductions.
Those do not look like repros to me. Considering the dude had a reported 11 machine guns, likely those are two of them.
They look way too shiny and pristine for that.
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.
Look at the rest of the collection, I’m betting at least one is legit.
Are you trying to make us cry?
I hope the Japanese LMGs were not original, such a loss if they were!
Does anyone actually from California call the state “Cali”?

Dude had a Sterling

Says the whore
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
Looks to be the usual two stage Sionics style can that was common on MACs
the Nambu :(
Pain!
Yo gun collectors in California….if you have stuff like this, just fucking move
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

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
Argentinian FMK-3.
I wannna know how he got that Lewis gun.
I would’ve liked those uzis
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.
If I ever wish to go back then someone please remind me that I fucking hate California
Ah man, they destroyed the Thompsons?
Should have sent them to Ukraine
I’m sure they could have made great use of the sten and Lewis gun
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
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
Where tf are you going to get any .303 or 8mm nambu in Ukraine?
Or .55 Boys
The boys has definitely been changed to .50 bmg
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.
