Police quickly learned Taylor possessed multiple firearms, as they were in plain view when they arrived to the house. He is legally prohibited from owning firearms due to prior convictions.

After executing a search warrant, police found multiple 3D-printed “ghost guns,” semi-automatic rifles, handguns, shotguns, an AK-47 semi-automatic rifle, and an assortment of firearm components.
