Leonard Embody. Again.

Here's the takeaway...

"I understand you have a right to exercise your constitutional rights, but frankly, the way you went about exercising your constitutional rights was completely stupid."


Regarding his presenting proof of ownership...

As it was once explained to me, when you are dealing with NFA items, you must maintain copies of the ownership records anytime you take the device outside of your home, and must present them on demand of law enforcement.

I'm not sure if that's true or not, but if it is, then Embody likely did commit an NFA violation and it should go to trial.

The Grand Jury really isn't a time to be providing documentation proving/disproving something.

He had his chance and he blew it.

It's a state-by-state thing. Under federal law, the owner has to provide registration to an agent of the BATFE if asked.

However, several states (including Tennessee) word the law in a way that implies that one must show the paperwork to law enforcement.
 
I'm all for activists pushing for rights. But don't you think it would be smart to like have some lawyers and media with you when you pull stunts to embarass the cops, fish for lawsuits, etc.? And it would seem to be kinda important to know the law and have citations with you. There is a time and place, and that would usually be organized, well publicized group efforts.

Yeah, and that worked out real good in Cali, now nobody can carry.
