California authorities seized almost 2 dozen weapons and 35,000 rounds of ammunition from a man’s home

On Tuesday, it was announced that authorities had seized about two dozen handguns, silencers and about 35,000 rounds of ammunition at the Southern California home of a man who was banned from owning a gun due to a mental health-related ban.

California Department of Justice agents arrested the man on January 25 at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Azusa, Attorney General Rob Bonta said.

According to a statement from the Attorney General’s Office, the man was under a “mental health ban” but was listed on the state’s weapons system database of banned persons as the owner of a single firearm.

The database identifies people who legally owned firearms but were later banned from having them.

Authorities went to the man’s home to seize the gun, but he refused to let them in, the statement said.
