  • To answer your rhetorical question:

    Nothing, he was barred from buying one so he made a gun which is

    A) Federally illegal for felons

    B) also illegal for anyone in CA,

    So basically they achieved an extra charge or two to tack on to all the murders, if he hadn’t shot himself I guess because you can’t charge a corpse.
