Ohhh, the leftist will be happy to make an example out of him/them.

I stand with Sheriff Jenkins

Innocent until proven guilty

Piss on Pelosi

Welp. He's done. I love Jenkins. This will start to happen in every Democrat controlled city and/or state.

Maybe, just maybe, they can use Bruen to do away with the NFA as their defense.

How will they prove there was never any intent to have demonstrations for that police department or any other? Can these prosecutors see the future?

Is there a legal definition of demonstration or is the "crime" not explicitly stating on the application that the firearms would also be housed (guessing) at MGN and used for demonstrations other than law enforcement (rental to public)?

 

[gtodave]

Well that doesn't look good at all

 

[Checksbob]

This doesn't look like a left vs right subject, it looks like they just were not smart when intentionally doing something they both knew was illegal. There was a legal path they could've taken and they chose not to.

Both men have to know they have a target on their back in this state. I hope they're not this dumb.

One time i did a job in a Money Room for MTA. They get you to put on a lab coat to come down to your ankles with the pockets sewn shut.
The guy said don't even pick up money on the floor (change & bills) and don't even think about taking anything. I told him i would rather earn my money rather then stealing it.

People are so stupid willing to lose everything they have for a few guns or whatever this crap is to maybe happened. Like Joppa said they already had a target why give them the ammo.

"The indictment alleges that Jenkins and Krop knew there wouldn't be a demonstration of the machine guns and that they were intended for rental to Krop's customers."

When is a rental not a demonstration?

Were the firearms supposed to be returned?

Let's see if the story gets updated soon...

It seems unlikely that they can prove there was never a demo. The term seems very broad.

So is this why PNC closed the Machine Gun Nest's bank accounts?

 

[JimB]

It's BS.

 

[Blacksmith101]

I wonder how many LOE's including sheriffs office personnel tried out those machine guns?

 

[DanGuy48]

It's BS.

I agree. This is a leftist plot to get Jenkins because they haven’t been able to oust him in elections.

 

[DanGuy48]

Welp. He's done. I love Jenkins. This will start to happen in every Democrat controlled city and/or state.

Bingo.

 

[DanGuy48]

What’s wrong with ordering in machine guns and demonstrating to local law enforcement? If they were never transferred and became rental guns? Were the guns loaned to the sheriffs office so that they were out of TMGN’s possession?
