AG: Mass. man had untraceable 'ghost guns,' ammo in apartment

Prosecutors say he had home-built, unregistered and untraceable "ghost guns" in his apartment along with 3,000 rounds of ammunition and a copy of Adolf Hitler's manifesto.

Your reading material gets used as evidence to demonize you in the court of public opinion too.

There were also several high-capacity magazines, templates to make ghost guns, a DVD called "How to build your untraceable AR-15 at home" and "a copy of 'Mein Kampf,'" Brennan said, referring to Adolf Hitler's manifesto.

Then they should be looking into congress. Adolf's manifesto is in the library of congress.

Both cases mention silencers. Is that what triggered the investigation?

 

[JLopez071]

What I want to know is did they raid this guy's bookshelf, or did he have his copy of Mein Kampf zip tied to the no no weapon?

And was he using it as a “How-To” guide?

I didn't see any mention of silencers in the Milton case.

Right or wrong, if they had a warrant to search for guns it makes perfect sense that they would look at a bookshelf and even open every book. I would expect any investigator with even average intelligence to be looking there.

And despite the headline, the charges had nothing to do with the guns being "ghost guns" and his stupid book. The charges:
Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm (2 Counts)
Possession of a Large Capacity Feeding Device (26 Counts)
Possession of a Firearm without a Firearm Identification Card (7 Counts)
Improper Storage of a Firearm (8 Counts)
Possession of a Silencer (4 Counts)
These are all well known laws, and while I don't agree with them , they chose to play the game, they get the stupid prize.

maybe they're solvent trap conversions...

Usually if you stay out of any NFA regs you are far less likely to be put under the microscope

Beat me to it.

Absolutely. If you don’t want people scrutinizing you and your life, don’t willingly break laws. I just think that unless the guy was a known Nazi, or had Facebook posts praising Mein Kampf as a guide to live by, it’s irrelevant that he owned the book. The AG’s Facebook post talking about “the new reality we are facing” just seems like scare tactics.

 

[greencobra]

I just think that unless the guy was a known Nazi, or had Facebook posts praising Mein Kampf as a guide to live by....

didn't realize these were crimes in the country yet. next reading the bible and using it as a manifesto to live your life will get you on some list.

Exactly why I have no interest in SBRs/Suppressors

 

[Queen Bee]

@skui believe in his own words as well that FPS russia's case would have been thrown out but because he owned NFA items, ie suppressors it gives the government feds more flexibility to illegal search and seizure.

You live in MA.....unless you are an 07/SOT FFL and Mfgr, licensee, you can't own suppressors anyway.

Nonsense.
I've owned registered NFA stuff for 20 years and never had a single contact with the ATF.

I've never heard anything regarding that either

 

[Queen Bee]

Watch the video and see for yourself.. posted above. He has no reason to lie about his case

 

[jaypap]

I have no dog in this fight but the Hitler book is funny. Didn't the Nazi's burn books they didn't agree with?

Amazon sells it, maybe the Attorney Generals Office can send them a letter under a consumer protection act to cease and desist selling books and say its a law.

 

[kalash]

No charges for improper storage of ammunition?

It’s a ghost charge. That’s why you can’t see it./s

That is a good question. I'd assume illegal suppressors was what triggered this investigation, but what if it wasn't? What if they were just tracking 80% part deliveries? Makes one wonder.

 

[Boris]

so he had 4 pillows?

Do staties who guard Mora and Faker have "silencers"? Dude was definitely wanted to protect his hearing. The hi cap mags charge is probably bogus, pre-ban or not, this is not how "justice" works in MA, they will try to plead him for lesser charge. Also Hitler never wrote manifestos, Mein Kamp is not it.

 

[Twigg]

Perhaps he was going to invade Poland ?

Mass State Police detectives executed a search warrant in Worcester on Wednesday. The subject was one of the guys charged last year in Warren when a cop shooting there smelled weed. They claim he bought a magpul speed loader at cabelas and ammo at the gun parlor, but gas a revoked LTC. They also found 2 "AR-15 style " rifles, 3 large capacity mags, and ammo. His case in East Brookfield is still pending.

I'd guess they're monitoring his credit cards. Probably bought 80% lowers, triggering the investigation.

PSGWSP

They issued an arrest warrant, but haven't arraigned him yet.

 

[Quite_Exasperated]

As much as our Dear Leaders like to violate our rights without due process, they can’t monitor credit card transactions without probable cause and a subpoena or the charges will get tossed...and 80% parts aren’t illegal (yet)..

was that from an article? So Gun Parlor sold him ammo without an LTC?

buying 80%ers triggers investigation? Even I not so paranoid.

“Ghost guns pose a serious threat to public safety — they’re untraceable and are often made from easily obtained items, allowing people to circumvent our laws. We are working to get these guns off our streets and out of the hands of dangerous people," Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement.

so what's Mora doing to get these "ghosts" off the street?

 

[Quite_Exasperated]

Sounds like the Winthrop arrest was a good one, not clear what the Milton arrest was about...I’m guessing he finished the ARs and didn’t file the necessary paperwork to make them legit..
