Anytime I hear the feds make a pipe bomb case against gunnies, I think of how easy it is to gin up a bogus case againt any ammunition reloader.
Gunpowder, plus random crap in any garage, basement and workshop, plus one lie arm-twisted out of an ATF snitch, and they have a pipe bomb case.
Today, they could call the bogus “pipe bomb” a WMD.
Exactly. I don’t trust my government in this kind of thing anymore. They lie through their teeth....otherwise known as spinning/propaganda.
I was thinking this as I read this thread.
I have been an avid re-loader since I was in Junior High (back then there were no age restrictions on components so I could make all the ammo I needed to shoot during the weekends). Even though I do not have large stockpiles of powder, just a few one pound cans of different types, they could still charge me since the powder could be used in items I have around the house to make a improvised device.
A decent judge would throw this out early but it would bankrupt me and that is what the Government wants to do: If they can't put you in jail, then they will file false charges that will drain your finances dry.
