California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Thursday the arrest of an unnamed East Bay resident accused of amassing an illegal stockpile of military-grade weapons that included grenades, machine guns and 1 million rounds of ammunition.
The Attorney Generals Office did not provide the persons name or charges after agents from the California Department of Justices Bureau of Firearms searched the persons Richmond (San Francisco Bay Area) home on Jan. 31. The person is legally barred from owning weapons.
Agents seized 11 military-style machine guns, 133 handguns, 37 rifles, 60 assault rifles, seven shotguns, 20 silencers, four flare guns, 3,000 large capacity magazines, approximately 1 million rounds of miscellaneous caliber ammunition and dozens of rifle receivers and pistol frames, the attorney generals office said.
A bomb squad responded to the home after agents discovered a cache of grenades, which were found to be inert.

That's almost enough fire power for an infantry platoon. Scary.
