He is being held without bail for under four counts of "possession of an infernal device" and four counts of "possession of a dangerous weapon."

[Russell Kanning]

maybe they should go under a less reviled name than "police"
most thugs that i see have police written on their arm, back, or donut delivery vehicle

Any one from MA know if he actually broke any laws ? I have to believe the tear gas hand grenades are a no no .

No matter how well he armed himself .. in a urban environment he would not stand a chance standing up for his rights against the militarized police he would be face.

[leetninja]

I guess I am missing the part where this guy broke any laws?  They say he bought them over the past 9 months but they didnt mention if things were obtained illegally or not per MA state laws.  I'm sure if this guy had done anything illegal when obtaining i.e. fake id or out of state ID but living in MA, that they would have jumped at the chance to bury him.

Though the indoor shooting range was plain stupid of him to do.  There are plenty of associations that he could have joined and used for a range.  The third story loft with a piece of what they called illegal plate!?  Is plate illegal!?  Either way that is just irresponsible.  One miss and the bullet could have gone through a window or wall and potentially into something or someONE which would not be a good thing.  He should have converted his basement if anything I guess.  WTF!

they were guns .... probably all they cared about

So from what I just read:

In addition to the grenade-type devices, police found approximately 20 weapons, including high-powered rifles, shotguns, and handguns. All of the firearms were purchased and registered legally within the past 10 months, McKiel said.

Girard, a computer consultant, had a Class A license, which enabled him to purchase large-capacity firearms. According to police, he was granted the permit without question.

He did not have a criminal record and there was no indication at the time [the permit] was issued that he shouldnt have one, McKiel said.

So he broke no laws.  Someone should intervene.  This is horrible!

who?
what about all the guys in jail in mass who haven't hurt anybody?
there is a long line of injustices .... i think someone should do something to somebody

[Lloyd Danforth]

You mean all the 'other' people in jail who haven't hurt anyone.

'Infernal Device'  sounds like something from the Salem Witch trials.

This happened in the town where I live just 6 weeks before I visited Keene (or did live until I sold my trailer to get ready to move to NH)
According to the story one or more gun was a stolen gun, but that's if you believe the government media, and besides this has little to NOTHING to do with the stolen gun.  It's about government control.


Boyd man gets 4 years for illegal gun dealing

Kenneth Hart

Ashland — A Boyd County man was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday for illegally dealing in firearms.

Gary Lynn Russell, of the 3200 block of Camelot Drive, had pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to selling firearms without a license and possession of a machine gun. Other charges, including possession of unregistered weapons and conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice, were dismissed under the terms of his plea agreement.

Russell and his son, Nicholas Russell, both were indicted in February by a federal grand jury on various charges stemming from illegal weapons sales. The younger Russell pleaded guilty earlier this month to a charge of tampering with documents or proceedings for burning a log book belonging to his father that contained records of his firearms sales.

Nicholas Russell is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 11. Under the terms of his plea agreement, he is expected to be sentenced to time served plus two years of supervised release, with the latter to include a five-month term of home incarceration.

Charges of unlicensed gun dealing, conspiracy and aiding and abetting against Nicholas Russell were dismissed.

Under the terms of Gary Russell's plea agreement, a total of 17 charges were dismissed in exchange for him pleading guilty to the two.

In addition to the four years in prison, Senior Judge Henry R. Wilhoit Jr. sentenced Gary Russell to three years of supervised release following completion of his term. The judge also recommended that Gary Russell serve his time at the Federal Correctional Institution at Summit, although his placement ultimately will be up to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Wilhoit allowed Gary Russell to remain free until Jan. 6. He must report to prison by noon that day to begin serving his sentence.

Also, according to court records, Gary Russell agreed to a monetary judgment of $20,000. Items seized from his house by federal agents, including a vehicle and cash, will be applied toward that judgment.

The indictment of the Russells was the culmination of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms that began in early 2007 and continued through March of last year.

Gary Russell engaged in more than 200 gun sales during that time period, according to court records. The transactions took place at his home, at gun shows and at flea markets.

Between August 2007 and March 2008, Gary Russell illegally sold about 23 guns to undercover operatives working with the ATF. At least one of those weapons was later found to have been reported stolen.

A search warrant executed at Gary Russell's home in March 2008 turned up more than 65 rifles, pistols and shotguns, along with a Sten-type machine gun and what was eventually determined to be a sawed-off .22-caliber rifle.

Following the raid, Nicholas Russell drove his father to his bank so he could withdraw more than $51,000 cash to keep it from being seized or used as evidence, court documents state. Gary Russell also provided a ledger of firearms transactions to his son with the understanding that Nicholas Russell would destroy it.

im just sick of hearing about people who are made out to be evil villains because they own firearms. 

as for the other people in jail - some belong there and others dont - i wish there were a way to weed out the good from the bad ...

this country is overdue for a revolution but everyone just talks about it and no one actually DOES anything about it from what i see
