Definitely not the case of one unwell kid.  I wonder if he spoke out about it to tip someone off.

More gun laws would definitely prevent that. Especially the rocket launcher. cheeky

It's California, just plead marijuana induced psychosis and you'll get 2 years probation and 100 hours community service.

Oh wait, that only works if you're a white girl that stabbed her boyfriend 108 times. Link

You need a hell of a trench coat to hide a rocket launcher.

About $80k and a 9 month wait through a Class 3 dealer. Or about $150k for an American rocket launcher from the Mexican cartels with no wait.

I have issues with how the story is even written in reference to the charges made. I mean I can make and consume for my own use 'shine upto like 20 gallons or something per year. So just because I have the parts to make doesn't equal I'm intending to sell. Same with the "unlicensed and unmarked firearms". Is he making them for self use? It is legal to do so like the alcohol. If he is mutialing serial numbers that's a different story. Rocket launcher? I'd like to know if it can even fire but then again you need a class3(?), I think, FFL to possess.

Too many unknowns here....

You don't have their contact number do you? Seems like a steal.

I mean, when I was a kid I had an empty LAWS tube my neighbor gave me.  Never had any ammo for it, of course.

there wouldn't be. They were a one time use disposable launcher. RPG's can keep shooting as long as you have grenades to reload.

Pretty sure Cali has laws preventing homemade. It's driven up the price on the stuff that is on their approved lists. 
If they have a rap sheet already, they'll get a slap on the wrists. 
 

Cali would probably claim the spud gun was a TOW launcher anyways for news coverage....lol

I'm no internet fire arms expert but why would you want a cut out in the tube right next to where your head would go for a right handed operator.  I'll bet it's a replica or deactivated item. 
 

replicas are easy to get.

Probably got that drivel from a police department looking to make news to say "see we're making you safe, increase our budget"

 

or something like that.

Gotta justify why your municipality owns and operates an armored personal carrier.

Great, now I'm going to be worried that adults are just three RPGs in a trench coats.
