I guess in order to say "no evidence" means police verified the guy wasn't too much into selling his guns and was buying them over long period of time...

So, the guy must have been a serious prepper, waiting for SHTF. But to his disappointment, died before that.
Another possibility is a licensed gun dealer (FFL).

I word say be was a hoarder. One of those guys that bought up stuff , figuring it would be banned or become unavailable for whatever reason, and went spare stocking up. A lot of people that bought into the "get it now" panics with rifles lime ARs, magazines, certain types of ammo, etc, aren't even shooters. Its because of these types that stores had to put quantity limits on these things. People buying mass quantity, just to have it. Hardly unusual or shocking.

To add, people like that annoy the hell out of me. They see to it, that shortages and buying panics make sure those of us who DO shoot, can't. Hoplophobes should be praising this clown. He saw to it those rounds will never go downrange.

I don't understand why the police hauled everything out of his house, unless someone related to him requested it. People die and leave behind large stashes of vehicles, toys, or whatever they were into. Police don't pull up and load all of it into a truck. If everything was acquired legally, it belongs to his estate.

They said so it won't get stolen.

Right, because all gun traffickers employ JIT process.

1200 guns, I bet 500 to 700 of them were parts guns for the good collection. This guy was a collector. Several of the guns were in their original boxes.
