Large stashes of weapons — including assault rifles, ghost guns and ammo – were seized as part of a series of raids over the past month across California targeting convicted criminals who are prohibited from owning weapons.

One dozen raids were conducted across the state by special agents with the California Department of Justice, including three in the Southland, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra reported Tuesday.

The raids were the result of background checks done on individuals who had attempted to purchase ammunition.

51 weapons were confiscated in total, including four assault rifles and two ghost guns. More than 28,000 round of ammunition and 123 magazines were also seized, including 33 large-capacity magazines. 120 grams of meth and heroine was also discovered.

The people who were targeted in the raids are in the state’s Armed and Prohibited Persons System (APPS) database, which identifies those prohibited from owning guns because of their criminal record.

that looks really nice but I'm still against background checks on every single thing we have to purchase. At a point it becomes too burdensome

Amen. I certainly am not cheering for their limited success.
