Say it ain't so.

It would appear he is a suspected felon because of all the guns. That
makes no sense. I know guys like that with one guy renting a vault for
storage of his large collection.

There are laws about storing too much gun powder or primers in one place
but these are not felonies.

The report is the guy is a "convicted felon". He can't even have a few
grains of gun powder, much less, 550 guns.

Point being, gun laws are not for criminals. Only for the massive
groups of ordinary decent law abiding citizens.

The way I read it was from this:

"Fernandez was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of
firearms and ammunition and illegally possessing an assault rifle and
large-capacity magazines."

The first sentence says this:

"Authorities have seized more than 550 guns at two Southern California
homes and made one arrest after getting a tip that a convicted felon was
storing an arsenal."

Did they check first that he was a felon? If so why did they just not
say he was booked as a felon in possession instead of being suspect.

There are also classed of felonies that are ranked from most severe like
murderers and rapists to possession of narcotics. I don't know if all
of these are forbidden to possess firearms.
