But, it is against the law for convicted felons to possess firearms

Liberals will never understand that criminals = a person who commits a crime (fails to obey the law). The little article implies the owner was "stockpiling an arsenal". I really doubt that. He just hadn't sold these yet would be my guess as would be that they were all stolen and traded for dope. I also would bet the owner could give a shit less if they were stolen, if they accepted high capacity magazines, or were on some other silly "banned firearms" list.
