On July 18, 2019, federal agents with a warrant searched the El Dorado County home of a Sacramento Metro Fire captain looking for illegal machine gun parts.

It didn’t take long to find a trove of weapons.

Here it comes, folks. Pick off a few high-profile targets up front to scare the little people into compliance. Cache your arms and keep your powder dry.

“There is no allegation that Mr. Oakes posed a threat to anyone or anything, nor is there a victim or harmed party in this case,” Richards wrote in court documents.

That’s the quote right there. Nobody’s saying this guy was dangerous. Nobody was saying he hurt anyone or was going to hurt anyone. No one is saying that anyone was in any danger at any time. But, he must be arrested and prosecuted. Multiple felonies. Treated like he’s murdered people. Because he has scary guns sitting in his house not hurting anyone.

......I wonder what the 500 odd folks he’s got in solitary confinement in D.C. prisons would have to say about this?

Or put another way, “The Democrat Party will legislate your Constitutional rights away from you, and you will obey the laws the Democrat Party passes.”

Oakes’ Sacramento attorney, Adam Richards, argues that his client moved to El Dorado County specifically because it came with a “perceived adherence to the constitution and conservative values,”

The non-violent citizens in CA better learn they live in a police state who'll not only ruin you financially, but will put you in a cage for years. They'll destroy your life. No joke.

“agents discovered part of an Uzi submachine gun, numerous high-capacity magazines and at least 19 assault rifles, as well as parts to four AR-10 rifles and two AK-47s. They also found two devices that can convert Glock pistols to fully automatic machine guns.”

All legal firearms and legal parts when not assembled. The trigger groups for Glocks maybe, but only if they had actually been tooled on and altered to work in that way. Even the UZI parts are legal as a semi-auto build. But because of those two parts it became a huge “Trove” of illegal firearms with deceptive wording. I hate that...

This is a complex case, well worth reading in its entirety.

FTA:On July 18, 2019, ATF agents returned to Oakes’ home with a warrant signed by a federal judge. They were accompanied by a California Highway Patrol officer and El Dorado County sheriff’s deputies.

So local and state law enforcement officers entered a home (with ATF agents) using a Federal warrant. They did not find any firearms that violated federal laws or they would have charged Oakes in federal court.

What they did find were firearms that violated California state laws. Oh, by the way, the California state laws have just been declared unconstitutional.

Clearly, the search exceeded the limits of the search warrant. Oakes' lawyer is trying to quash the warrant and suppress the evidence. I sincerely hope he succeeds.

“No law-abiding citizen in the United States of America has any fear that their constitutional rights will be infringed in any way.” - Joe Biden

What complete bull crap! As the article notes:

“I learned real fast from my event that the only way you’re going to actually know what is correct is to talk to legal counsel, like Mr. Richards here,” Oakes said. “Many people think they’re doing the right thing, and they find out in the flip of a switch: Oh, no, that’s entirely wrong.”

If the law is so complicated, or changes so frequently, that an average citizen must hire a lawyer to avoid infractions, then it's time to repeal that law...

Formerly legal parts now perceived to be illegal?

What was that about ex-post-facto laws?

Time to stop these gun-grabbing politicos...

Yeah. Ain’t that the living end.
Says A; reality is NOT A.

Everyone knew it was shuck ‘n’ jive all along.

His voters think it’s cool to lie and deceive your way into office; they voted fit him knowing it was outright false what he’d said. They embraced and promoted the fraud, and still do.

“Oh, the horrible division!”

But, “what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?”
