\u201cSailor Sentenced To 20 years In Prison For Selling Illegal Machine Guns In Virginia\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA 28-year-old Navy master-at-arms was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison for owning and selling unregistered machine guns from his Virginia home\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Most of the responses were how stupid Tate Adamiak was for selling machine guns…. like the man says, stay tuned for the rest of the story.<\/p>\n

Tate Adamiak was an E-6 hoping to become a SEAL officer when he ran afoul of Biden’s BATFE. His crime? He became a top seller of military parts and memorabilia on Gun Broker.<\/p>\n

Nothing illegal. None of the\u00a0 machine guns BATFE\u00a0 alleged. One replica, that he did not even sell, was manufactured as a TOY and yet the agent, Jeffrey Bodell (who seems to have made Adamiak his Personal Mission in Life to prosecute) lied in court and manipulated evidence to send Mr. Adamiak to federal PMITA prison for 20 years. Think of that – 20 years for a toy…<\/p>\n

Bodell went a bit crazy in his testing. He inserted a real machinegun bolt from a real STEN submachinegun and replaced the toy\u2019s fake barrel with a real STEN barrel, which did not fit until the technician \u201cwrapped it with a few layers of electrical tape to make a tight fit, and press fit the machinegun barrel.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was another problem: no real magazine would fit into the toy gun.\u201cDue to the fashion in which I improvised a machinegun barrel to fit, a magazine cannot be inserted due to the barrel being too far aft,\u201d Bodell wrote in his report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eventually, using the real machinegun bolt and barrel, Bodell was able to load one round by hand and get it to fire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Among other things, Bodell alleged that semi-automatic guns were machine guns. And that a PPsH barrel shroud was a machine gun! And if you think that wasn’t bad enough –<\/p>\n

The ATF\u2019s first indictment charged Adamiak with possessing 33 machineguns. There were no destructive devices mentioned. To counter, Adamiak and his attorneys hired former ATF senior official Dan O\u2019Kelly as a defense witness.<\/p>\n

The prosecutors knew that O\u2019Kelly would make mincemeat of their charges, so they reindicted Adamiak, charging him with possession of one machinegun and four destructive devices.<\/p>\n
