- California authorities found a man illegally owning 248 guns and 1 million rounds of ammo.
- The state attorney general said he also had 3,000 magazines and several grenades in his home.
- The guns included 11 machine guns, 133 handguns, and 60 assault rifles, authorities said.
No, you didn’t. Machine guns aren’t legal to own unless you have a very expensive permit which basically grants the ATF an unlimited warrant to perform a search for it.
Also, this article is about the US, so making that distinction isn’t necessary.
Replacing one or two parts to make a weapon automatic is easy. The article doesn’t clarify what a “machine gun” is or what make or model. Buy a few AR15s, replace the parts. Machine gun. And illegal. Fitting the article’s definition.
