Gilgo Beach killings suspect Rex Heuermann has petitioned the court to reclaim more than 280 guns that were seized from his home in July so he can sell them and financially help his family while in jail.
Son of Sam laws mostly deal with profiting from the crime you’re imprisoned for, there’s no evidence (that I’ve seen) that this guy used any of the guns in his serial murders.
That being said, he’s on trial for murder, and doesn’t get to have guns. In the extremely unlikely event he’s found innocent, those guns will be returned, but until then, no. They stay in police custody.

Before they are returned, they will be melted down accidentally on purpose. Oops. Sorry.
