The pictures alone make opening the link worth it.
Some of the guns in the video look very collectable.

The Spanish National Police Corps (Cuerpo Nacional de PolicĂ­a, or CNP) have captured a huge number of weapons during a series of raids conducted in the areas of Biscay, Girona, and Cantabria in Northern Spain. The raids recovered about 10,000 firearms including pistols, rifles, assault rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns, plus about 400 grenades, bombs, and other explosives.

Among the weapons recovered were a large number of CETME rifles, both the 7.62x51mm versions (including what appears to be at least one each of the rare CETME Model A and B prototypes) and 5.56mm CETME-Ls.
Also included in the cache were large numbers of bolt-action rifles, including various generic Mausers (probably of the Spanish variety). However, probably the rarest weapon in the whole lot is what appears to be an example of the extremely obscure Spanish CB-52 assault rifle prototype:

Read the comments. They indicate that these are all disabled. However, 1 comment says that while they're disabled, the way the did it they can be easily re-enabled by using included parts. Who knows what the truth is. It sounds like the owner is a collector.

For those readers who doesn't understand spanish, the cache is composed ONLY of disabled weapons, but they're disabled under obsolete methods (disabling weapons changed across time in spanish legislation) so it is easy to bring them back to action with pieces included... Back then disabling only involved some drills across the barrel, not wielding locks or other vital parts. You can even see in some images cutaway guns (I saw an AMELI light machine gun used for instruction at 6:20 ie.
Mortar shells and hand grenades are deactivated (has no explosive inside) according to the speech.

Cache includes:
9000 CETME assault rifles of different versions
500 Rifles and shotguns
400 Handguns
300 Machineguns
300 Mortar shells and grenades

They had pieces to put them back into service, and tools to make forged documentation and change weapon numbers.
Trump should be bringing those old Cetme rifles in for us to buy on the mil surplus market.
