I have no idea what it takes to renew- but he just lost about a quarter mil (probably a very conservative estimate) in property... seems a renewal would have been worth it even if he had to hire someone to liquidate it all, if for nothing else but to his future estate.

Edit: Looking at the list it has none of his many handguns. Is this something that gets published if someone looses/relinquishes their FFL/SOT and have to give up their inventory of fun guns?
