There are three federal charges. Two charges for two separate machine guns and one for the short barrel shotgun. Sounds like that dude is screwed. My guess is there will be additional counts added if it turns out that what was hidden in the ceiling are determined to violate NFA.
The more I look at what's written up so far, it's looking more and more like a credible threat that was reported appropriately, a sheriff's department that acted appropriately, and due process being followed.
Should Pigg still be sued into oblivion? Did she slander anyone? Or was she following up and protecting her kids and others? Wonder if Grandpa Stowe and the family are still planning to sue everybody for violation of their civil rights?
