It seems Routh did not serve any prison times for these multiple felony charges.

I think this is when the CIA recruited him and helped him serve no prison time.

Read his writing, he is a proponent of every CIA led coup around the world.

The machine gun is one of many things that all together add up to suspicion of some organization keeping him on the street.

Notice how the left went from anti-war “Cheney is a war criminal” to loving Cheney and advocating pro-war “the US needs to attack Russia”?

I got to fire a legally owned Thompson once. My friend’s FIL was a big collector. It was quite an experience.

It’s also a state issue, and they are illegal in many states. I don’t know about NC in 2002, but I’d presume those were state charges. Either there wasn’t a felony conviction in those 100 charges filed, or this gun was bought illegally.

Machine guns are not illegal...require a tax stamp

The tax stamp / license is very difficult to get, or so I've heard. It's not like the ATF 4 form, for purchasing a silencer, that I've seen at many gun stores.

“the defendant received a suspended sentence and parole or probation.

There is no record of time spent in state prison related to those cases in the early 2000s.”

Appears to be someone’s asset.

"Machine guns are not illegal. Select fire rifles are prohibitively expensive and require a tax stamp, but they aren’t illegal."

You are correct. I assume the machine gun, if there actually was one, was in his possession without the tax stamp and required paperwork. I think this story is BS. I can't imagine a guy with this kind of police record actually getting the approval from a routine background check and then pay the tax. In my area, he would not pass a background check to purchase a hand gun. The machine gun was likely black market and unregistered.

in the mid 2000s, sten parts kits were available for as little as $25 from vendors in shotgun news. It wouldn’t be very hard for anyone with even modest metal working skills to have built a live firing one

chopperk ~ Who provided Routh with Trump’s itinerary?

Empire_of_Liberty ~ Whoever they are, I don’t think that they are going to rely on this crazy guy’s silence.

I foresee an Epstein event in his near future...

Okay, I was mistaken. I personally have never been through the ATF 4 process. I've seen though that it's exclusively promoted, at least at the gun shops I've visited, for purchasing a silencer.

Is it that gun shops are leary of doing this for an automatic weapon? Or that they don't have an FFL for such weapons? Or that these ATF 4 requests have a high disapproval rate?

it’s supply and demand. The supply of transferable machine guns has been fixed since 1986 and no new guns have been allowed on the registry since then. Silencers, SBR and SBS are being made new every say

H8s visa or debit transactions will show how long he parked along that fence. Clever. Obviously nobody is walking tge fence and looking through for matted grass...nor on the other sude, same. The guy likes to golf.

Don’t hire the busted SEAL in venezuela....maybe they don’t teach such thibgs anymore...but....could tgey hire an old retired guy who would have taught the local agents these facts? Don’t ask me, I’m an idiot, like this loon, but that’s all it rakes...twice now.

Oswald was a loon, a simple loon. That’s all it took for Lincoln too. Jeesh.

You have to get a local LE (either Chief of Police, or County Sheriff) sign off that you have clean record,and also send in FBI print cards. Full autos are available, but have previous posts have stated, no new ones have been made since 86. Last time I checked (few years ago) the cheapest ones were $2000 - $3000 Mac-10 and Mac-11, ARs were $8000-$10000 something like a Thompson were $25000 and up
