Thing is what was this guy doing with them did he use them. What they should do is change the law so that licences only last a year by which time the owner has to account to Police or similar organisation as what they are doing with the guns and when they last used them. If they no longer use them then why have them?

Fire arms certificates have to be renewed ever three years, there are no licenses.
For him to have held them legally he would have had to show good reason & provide proof of where he used them, along with written permission from land owners or membership of a recognised club.
So far no one has proved to me that he held them legally.
Retlaw.
