The guy makes 50 cal bmg kits, 75% complete,
no serial #, and it is legal. He sells some to the SEALS, too. You can make one a year without a license.

FORWARD PLEASE! TIME SENSITIVE MATERIAL.

Subj: Bob Stewart, of Maadi Griffin
Date: 6/16/00 10:04:35 PM US Mountain Standard Time

Sharlene, I heard on Alex Jones show tonight that Bob Stewart, owner of Maadi- Griffin, a rifle manufacturer and Patriot of Mesa Az, had his house raided by ATF this morning, and he was taken away. The agents would not tell his wife where they were taking him, or the
charges, nor did she receive a copy of the search warrant. You might not have
heard of him but this is a good man. I have spoken with him and was planning on heading his way to interview him soon. Would you forward this to someone who can help, because if they haven't killed him, I think Bob has grounds for a massive lawsuit. I'm sure that David Hardy will know who I am talking about.

I instantly called Larry, my station manager at Tucson's KOPC 90.9FM and was told the most likely places Bob would be are either Maricopa Co. Jail or if they were working with federal marshals, they sometimes contract with other officials.

I was also informed of something equally disturbing... KRVL 103.1FM here in Tucson, a sort of 'sister station' to KOPC, was firebombed the 15th at approximately 4AM.
KRVL is located at 249 West 29th Street.
Two gentlemen were inside, one by the name of Augie and the other Ron Bracy, another patriot that is confined to a wheelchair. Both men are okay and were not harmed as far as I know. They were sleeping in the front portion of the building when the incident occurred. The firebomb was directed to the
back portion of the building where the studio and broadcasting room was located. They have suffered a lot of damage, but Larry Welborn tells me that he might be able to clean up some of the equipment that has smoke damage, and perhaps salvage some of the other components.

Also disturbing is that Tucson Citizen and Tucson Daily Star did interviews, and there were up to 8 crews present, yet not a word has been heard on our local stations or papers, as of yet.


To see what Bob is guilty of click on http://www.maadigriffin.com . He
manufactures defense devices and not even hand guns.

you!!!

This already being discussed.

ATF. They never bother with things like propper warrants or civilrights. If you encounter them, expect to be roughed-up at best, hosed at worse. Property disapears when they visit as well.
 
Some other place? Well, too bad...

Here is the latest info forwarded from the Libertarian County Chair in Phoenix

Friday search warrent at his house (Robert Wilson Stewart) was acted on by the BATF because,... he had a previous felony - felony for possession of machine guns 1994 out of Utah. Did a couple of years.

The chronology of the investigation went something like this; the Firearm Technical Branch of the BATF determined that these "kits" were readily able to be turned into a firearm and therefore IS a firearm,.. sooooooooo, they must/may have/probably been converted so the judge issued the warrent based on these facts and the fact that he was a past felon.

Mr. Mangan of the BATF kept putting me on hold and coming back to ask me more questions about who I was and what interest i had in the story. I told him who I was [Libertarian County Chair] and that we publish a Libertarian Tabloid and had planned to raffle off at least one of the "kits" for a fund raiser and that this arrest would be GREAT publicity for the raffle.....

on hold again........

I then asked why they waited until now since the production of these 'Kits" have been known for a long time.....

on hold again......

He asked if he could call me back. Sure. Here's my phone numbers. But I'll be unavailable after 45 min. So please get right back to me, I have many questions :).
