Investigators say a ‘‘survivalist” with a stockpile of food and more than 30 weapons and 230 pounds of chemicals was ‘‘rolling along” in producing explosives in his Gaithersburg townhouse when he was arrested last week.
When authorities searched the man’s home, they also found his 12-year-old son sleeping with a loaded handgun under his pillow and another within reach, county police said.
An anonymous tip about illegal fireworks led federal and county investigators to James L. Boka, 47, officials said. He was arrested May 21 and charged with 11 counts of possession of a destructive device, two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of weapon endangerment to a minor, according to a statement from county fire officials. He was released from custody the same day on $60,000 bond.
‘‘The amount of chemicals that he had in his house were a public safety hazard,...‘‘...We were just glad we were able to stop this guy because he was already rolling along.
A James Boka registered with an online Ron Paul county group described himself as a U.S. Navy veteran who has worked inside Washington for 25 years in nearly every major agency, including World Bank, Pentagon.
I have been aware of the plan to destroy the USA for many years now and I have grown tired of preaching the danger to so many people who do not want to hear it,the profile continues. ...There is nothing more important to any American right now than to fight off the attempts of the New World Order and its puppet masters from destroying the last few pieces of the United States Constitution before it is too late. I want to help in any way I can so my son does not grow up in a fascist police state.

Idiots who don't practice basic gun safety rules just give ammo to the anti-second amendment crowd.
Just...wow...
Hopefully the 12 year-old is smarter about gun safety.
ok - so exactly is the problem with a 12 year old young man sleeping with a pistol?
By 12, most younsters should be very adept with firearms.
They say this like it was a bad thing.
Truther freak....DANGEROUS truther freak..
“. . . a registered with an online Ron Paul . . . “

Books on how to build rockets and explosives, alien invasion and 9/11 conspiracy stuff, and tons of government conspiracy books about secret underground bases.. of course, I’m sure the left will try to say this is a typical ‘right winger’ and not an apparent nut.

He’s no right winger at all...
He’s a truther.
Basic gun safety. Always keep a gun unloaded until it is ready to use. Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons. Anyone with even the most basic NRA or gun safety training knows this.
Placing a loaded gun under your pillow is idiotic to say the least and something one should only see in the movies. This shows disgregard for firearms safety and his son's life.

LOL. Every 12 year old should sleep with a loaded handgun under his pillow? You really see nothing slightly off about this?
Nothing is wrong with a 12 year being adept with firearms......
But as a former NRA safety Instructor, words escape me that you appear to not recognize the gun safety issues not to mention the bad parenting skills.......
Please tell me that’s not what you meant!?!
Really, in a free country, of the things mentioned, what shouldn't he have been able to do?
Well, he hasn’t been tried as of yet, but the article and preferences in books does not paint a pretty picture of the man.
He sounds unhinged, I bet he a DU or Koz Boy.
And the sheeple go “Bad Man”. No wonder we are going down the crapper.
Of course, as far back as I can remember, my parents constantly pounded the rules of firearms safety into my young skull...
Wow, more anti-Paul stuff. Yawn.
