A friend of mine in the CIA used to say that the ATF were basically a bunch of bitter bureaucrats who couldn't get into the FBI. They're probably the most tyrannical group in the country. Combine the authority of law enforcement with the bureacracy and bitterness of the DMV.
This whole business is disgusting.

I pop into this thread once a day to try to keep abreast. What has me scratching my head is everybody thinks the kid who borrowed the rifle is an idiot. There is agreement that machine gun parts were in the rifle. There is disagreement as to who put the parts in the rifle. BR says it wasn't him. There seems to be a split whether ATF did it or not. A lot of folks think the kid did it. So my question is how would this idiot kid know to put a Diemaco (sp?) spring in the rifle when many people here who have much more knowledge wouldn't know to do that? Doesn't compute. Either the kid is clueless or he appears to have a much greater understanding of how an AR15/M16 rifle functions than we give him credit for.
The fact that a relatively rare spring that would facilitate the hammer follow is in the receiver seems to indicate to me that the clueless kid didn't swap parts. So that puts it back into play for either ATF or BR to have swapped the parts. Or am I just not understanding? Which is always possible.

Darned good point!
He has that one nailed.

I musta forgot to post the last update here. They rescheduled it for June 14th.
Edit to add we did record it on Tuesday though. Full hour worth. Larry Pratt did most of the talking so I woulden't chew on my toes too much.

While I’m waiting on the last few affidavits to get done I thought I would work on that infamous Email the government keeps referring to. After a whole lot of fighting (feds don’t want it publicly disclosed, go figure(just like the video)) I finally got my hands on that email the government keeps claiming proves I bought a set of M16 FCG parts. Here it is, all four emails over a few week period wrapped up in one. See if you can find the deal for that M16 FCG parts set they claim I bought from him.

In Wisconsin we had to take away the Governor's "Frankenstein Veto" power, where he would take words from different paragraphs of a proposed law and create a new law. (He's a Democrat, and the first one to ever abuse the office so horribly.)
Using the original thought of how to read things in WI, I see the e-mail clearly says David was interested in buying "most" "small" "M16" "Parts" and an "M16" "bolt."

Yep he only expressed "Interest" in the M16 Parts, most of which appeared to be directed to the 30 round mags.
All he aggred to was a Colt Bolt.
this makes me wonder if a 3rd grade edumicashun is all that is required to quallify to join the BATFE....
So it's not merly a democrat thing but a Wisonsin thing hey...
Maybie its something they put in the Fed Building's Water Supply's...

Here is the latest information on my case. Some of it is already known, some is not.
Over the last few weeks a number of attorneys have been working on the case. The current arias we were/are dealing with is:
1) The extension of the signature bond (After all why would the government want to incur the liability of sending an innocent man to prison )
2) Expedited Appeal
3) Appeal of the sentence (Average sentence for someone who has a real MG is either differed for 2 years and removed or 12 months probation(Can’t help but wonder what was so different in my case))
4) Appeal of the conviction (Contrary to the government stance in court the US supreme court and the Appellate court from my district already said guns like this are not MGs, but the jury was not allowed to hear that)
The extension of the signature bond was shot down within hours of the paperwork being turned in. Unfortunately this may have been due to the paperwork being incomplete in its details. On the 30th of May my current attorney had what he thought would be the final draft to turn in. ( See page 1-12) I told him to wait until Monday afternoon to give me and others time to go over it and offer any changes. All weekend Larry Pratt and his associates at GOF dug into the issue and came up with more detailed reasoning. Unfortunately my attorney tuned in his original draft with none of the changes being made. The turn in date was the afternoon of 2 June, the motion was shot down the morning of 3 June, I was told of it all on 6 June. And as you can expect I was given notice to report to FCI Sandstone on 10 June with a reporting date of 2 July (This of course is nowhere close to where I live being up near Canada in a different state). ( See page 13) So at this point we can only hope that the expedited appeal goes through so the time spent in prison will be minimal as this error gets corrected. Also that the sentence gets brought down to where it should be to be on par with others, instead of as the judge put it to make a example for similar people out there (read that as gun owners).
In the meantime we have many other attorneys from the gun rights side working on this and I have no doubt they will prevail. A simple look at the work they have already done should speak for itself. (Coming shortly.)

Soon enough everyone can do their part and join the fight. You must always bring the fight top the enemy. I believe we have fought defensive delaying battles for too long. When I get the web site up it will explain more about what is being set up.
It's time we make a difference and stop throwing our money away to merely appease the wolves.

Just a last minute note to everyone on what is going on.
Last week a meeting was arranged by Larry Pratt of the GOA between Herbert W. Titus, of council with the firm of William J. Olson, P.C. out of McLEAN , VA and Washington DC, and Robert Sanders, of counsel with Mark Barns and associates out of Salem, NC. After a day of interviewing myself and reviewing all the available court documents it was agreed upon that there were good reasons to believe this could get overturned and they would take over this case for the purpose of the appeals process. Anyone not familiar with these attorneys and their firms should take the time to look them up. They are considered by many to be the best in this aria, and they have participated in a many of the well known cases like Heller. All of this is being paid for by the Gun Owners of America through Larry Pratt. The appeal was originally scheduled for July 1st has been rescheduled for August 1st. Total time for a ruling on this case is expected to be anywhere from 6-12 months. The most likely outcome is a reversal of the conviction for any number of reasons, some well known, some not, and a remanding back to the lower court for a retrial with instructions on how this trial should be done. Any more questions from this point onward should be directed to one of them. Naturally reaching me after today will be much more difficult, but I do expect to be back in a few months with this miscarriage corrected. Anyone that has to reach me can do so through the attorneys, though a point of contact at (920)923-1480, or directly at the sandstone institution if need be. We will be leavening for Sandstone this morning, meeting with Larry Pratt, and reporting there around 1330 tomorrow.
Also finished is the wives Affidavit. After reading it I would suggest you review the motion hearing I had over two years ago to suppress the few statements I made under interrogation (available on the net), and the statements posted by ATF agent Keeku. There appear to be more than one discrepancy. Careful review of the statements by all the involved officers also detail some discrepancies. I leave this to you to ponder. The last affidavit may be some time coming as the person doing it has been out of the country for some time and has experienced a computer breakdown. Getting it fixed where he is will be difficult. His affidavit will detail the unlawful, unwarranted, and uninvited entry of his home, rounding up of his family, and search of his property, during the time the warrant was being executed on my property. Keep in mind when it does come out that the ATF had no warrant for what they did to him and his family, nor did they receive his permission. Timeline for the release of that information is unknown at this point, but it will be posted when it is made available.
Much more has been found out about this case with the new and highly qualified attorneys looking into it. Most of it I cannot comment on at this point. But one item of particular interest is this appears to have been a targeted action with Mr. Kiernicki receiving multiple payments from multiple federal agencies. He seems to have been rather busy in the last year also having numerous arrests for everything from underage drinking to resisting arrest. Although at this point the reason for this level of determined action against me is still undetermined, it is speculated by those with more knowledge on this subject than me that it was my activities of helping people on the State level with unwarranted arrests that caused such a disproportionate response. Maybe time will tell if the mere act of helping others in need can be the cause of such unwarranted actions. Lord knows it was made clear in sentencing that a unpopular act, though legal will not be tolerated, and that a simple act of charity like giving someone ammunition they themselves can’t afford is construed to be indicative of a criminal act.
I will make information available as much as I can in the future, but expect any updates to be coming from GOA from this point onward. Also keep in mind this is a very costly venture for them. But they felt that a ruling such as we have in this case that allows all firearms to be outlawed and classified as machine guns if the ATF can make it fire more than once. As the judge put it if the statue does not limit the government, then they can do whatever they want to it.
Be back soon.
