Federal agents this week searched the Florida home of a 'doomsday prepper' they alleged had stockpiled over 50 high-powered assault rifles and several explosive devices buried around his property as 'booby traps'.

However the warrant showed up little more than barrels of food.

Martin Winters, a father-of-three from Valrico, surrendered to police on Wednesday following a widespread two-day hunt.

Investigators had claimed the 55-year-old was preparing for 'an end-of-times event as prophesied by the Book of Revelations', according to ABC News...

ponygirl ~ ‘They found nothing but some buried barrels of food and five lawful weapons stored in a home safe, yet the guy is still in jail and not set for trial until July 17. Someone explain to me how that is legal?’

Foundahardheadedwoman ~ This has nothing to do with the law, this has everything to do with intimidation of other gun owners.

And hoarders, don't forget hoarders!

I will more than likely never know for sure It will be a FReeper who will ‘turn’ me in for being a prepper.

That gets a rare dual-approval by both the Captain, and the Chief Medical Officer:

We don't need enough ammo to start a war (Gavrilo Princip did that with only two bullets) we need enough to finish a war!

Don’t forget these are federal agents.
They are going after people who are preparing, not that he actually did anything. Meanwhile, there are MS-13 types here in our country and the feds turn a blind eye to them and their activities.

Seems to be the path of least resistance and/or orders from above. Probably both.

And don’t forget, they are looking at these posts.
Nothing is secret except IRS emails.

So how many guns are we peasants "allowed" to have?

Whadda ya know! There's a law about how many "assault rifles" you as a peasant can own!

Must be a "secret law"...

What e-mails? The IRS uses smoke signals, apparently.

Apparently.

I reload ammo. There are a dozen one pound cans of powder in my loading room, all different burn rates for different cartridges.

In my garage is a box of 2.5 and 3.5 inch exhaust pipe, some left over from one project, and a stock of stuff for a planned project.

I have bomb making materials if the feds decide I am a menace.....

So effing what if a guy has 50 guns? Geeze, I wish.

Said he would kill gubmint agents? In what context and who cares?

It’s not like he was plotting to kill anyone.

You JBT’s are just scared that when the time comes for you, to exceed your authority and actual responsibility, you will be forced to back down.

Katrina taught us that you jerk offs think you can go house to house and “relieve” us of means and arms to protect and defend ourselves and you have no problem with what it costs to have our private property returned to us.

We are not your inferiors and our stuff belongs to us.

Something about Right to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness comes to mind as does personal rights and property rights.

GFY and let the guy go....

Florida prepper’s home searched by FBI for explosives and 50 “assault rifles”. The FBI found stored food along with five guns in a gun safe. I am sure that the FBI will not apologize.

The specious term 'high powered assault rifles' should be all the clue needed to determine that this is an ordered assault on the man and anyone who owns an AR15 or variant thereof in semi-auto with the normal 30 round magazine.

If we the people do not stop these bastards soon, there will be no stopping their fascist agenda.

The drug cartels and their in situ gangs in reality work for the fed. You see the black projects need funding. Many of these projects are CIA directed. So the federal criminal org euphemistically known as the Central Intelligence Agency has to find ways to fund these projects which are not answerable to the Constitutionally designated purse string holders, the Congress and what used to be ultimately The People.

Runnning drugs to tens of millions of addicted Americans is a multi-billion dollar business from which the black projects get funding which is unaccounted in federal budgets ... if there is a budget any particular year. Nothing, and that means no thing will be allowed to interfere with the flow of monies reaped by the drug trafficking, because so much money flows to the funding of these black projects, only a scant few of which ever show up in military use.

And if you want to scare your own pants off, look at who is now running this criminal enterprise known as the CIA! And one last point: inside any economic bubble is room for billions in illicit funding to also pay the black projects bills.

Nonsense. You can only use one at a time. Maybe two. Four if you have nimble toes. Five if you have well-trained genitals.

Google “gang stalking” Its what the govt does to select individuals who they want to silence or intimidate. Very illuminating.
