Id like to charge this journalist with hyperbole and misinformation.
Oh, and MA is a totally fascist state if some of those are actual warrant charges.
Shall NOT be infringed...
In the mid 1700s the government’s move to seize arms from the citizenry started a revolution. It may be time for another, against the state which has morphed into the monarch.
“Simply put, there is no reason that a person with good intentions would require a silencer. Those devices are strictly made for violent and insidious purposes.”
...
Violent purposes like protecting your hearing.
Where is this story from? Commie Nazi land?
A Shirley man? (sorry, I can never resist a pun opportunity.)
“... held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Monday.”
‘dangerousness hearing? Hmmm.
The accused did NOT posses silencers rather, sound suppressors!
Sounds almost like a Mob arms depot. Since this in MA I wonder if Whitey Bulger managed to do some talking before he was hit.
I own multiple legal silencers, none for violent or insidious purposes. If I have to defend my home, I will be using a non-silenced firearm. I also own a muffler to reduce the sound level of my car - not as a getaway vehicle, just to be less irritating to myself, my family, and those who are near us when I drive. My gun mufflers are no different from the one on my car, just a matter of courtesy (and of having the money to be courteous).
“Route 2A”
The DA’s position that any sound suppression technology only makes it more inherently dangerous and serves no legitimate purpose seems like a relatively simple point to overcome, perhaps with just a list of all the sound suppression technology possessed by police departments within the state.
The more in depth article indicates that he's got at least prior misdemeanor convictions and apparently could not get a waiver for a firearms license, his wife is licensed, he was carrying without a permit, her permit has been revoked and his initial arrest on a warrant for battery occured away from the home.
1. "State police had been informed that Mr. Dusti was allegedly in possession of a homemade silencer"
2. "...Mr. Dusti was the subject of a pending arrest warrant for two counts of making annoying phone calls"
3. "Knock, knock. Well, well...what have we here?"
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
District Attorney Marian Ryan said. “Simply put, there is no reason that a person with good intentions would require a silencer.”
More liburd propaganda. Suppressors are an important component of conscientious hunting, and contribute to hunter safety by him/her not having to use other hearing protection that may attenuate noise that would indicate personal danger.
Disgusting dhimmicrap gun-grab writ large.
There are many people guilty of that crime. Let's start with whoever keeps calling me, saying I may be eligible for a reduced rate stay at some resort or other, because I stayed at a hotel in the distant past.
Clear abridgement of second amendment civil right. A class action suit should be filed against all authorities involved.
It’s disgraceful when anyone who lives in the land of the Concord and Lexington Minutemen allows a bunch of thugs to come into his home and confiscate is firearms.
Clueless idiot.
That said, this guy does present a challenge. Why had he apparently made 47 silencers, made a sawed-off shotgun. The gang unit made the arrest so was he involved with gangs, reselling weapons?
Shall not infringe is long forgotten and ignored in Massachusetts, but what was this guy doing? Was this more than private ownership?
Every time I see an article counting rounds==oh so many!--I think about what I have, what I usually have just in the car. I keep 500+ of each potential caliber in the car, currently have 1-1/2 cases of 22LR, which alone means over 3,000 rounds. It all adds up. And that isn't even discussing my ammo safe. The reporting is ridiculous, guess good to scare clueless non-gun owners, but someone with 30,000 rounds doesn't even cause me to raise an eyebrow. You?
Just magically "found" them, eh?
It is too bad he didn’t actually use any of those firearms against the government trolls who unconstitutionally stole them from him.
