The feds are out right lying until I see proof. They know the public has no clue how difficult it would be to get your hands on a live grenade so they just throw out lies to justify their tactics and unconstitutional existence. Half the people reading this probably think you can just go to a gun show and buy a live grenade.
They throw this crap out there because the public will believe anything. There is no way some 68 year old who has a some total of "several rounds of ammunition" also somehow has a live grenade not a chance unless you are talking about a smoke grenade which is not what is eluded to in this BS story.
I was also wondering how he got this alleged “live grenade.” I was also wondering what it was that caused the police to raid his house in the first place.
It was a “Sting-Ball Grenade”. Lets combine a flashbang with rubber bullets and CS! Probably not fun to be in the room with, but convicting him for “illegal possession of a destructive device” seems quite a stretch. I know, he’s a scumbag and we should cheer his conviction, but...
