Three weapons were confiscated and two people - including a Killer Bees gang member - will face firearms-related charges.
More than $5000 and a quantity of meth was also found at the house.
The warrants followed an incident this month when a shotgun was recovered by police after it was thrown from a vehicle onto the footpath in Flatbush.
Police said two further firearms along with ammunition were located at a second property.
