No, his mistake was in not obeying the law concerning requirements for storage of firearms, which is very clear in Massachusetts:

I'll grant you that. It would seem that he didn't know the law or wasn't thinking clearly because of the burglary. We don't know if the LEO was being snoopy and hoping to get a bust or was interested in knowing if any of them were stolen. At that point, if you know they weren't stolen, you say so. If the LEO persists, than tell him you're upset because of the burglary and that you will do an inventory in the morning.
Having made the mistake of not storing them properly, he had no duty to rat himself out. If the LEO didn't have a warrant, than he could come back with one, meanwhile the gent could lock his guns up.
