Wayne Fincher of Arkansas has rebuilt a demilled Sten machine gun, fully informing the state of what he did. As expected, he has been arrested and charged by the ATF. His intent is to challenge US vs. Miller and the National Firearms Act of 1934. JR has detailed coverage of the case. This is certainly a case to track. I have great admiration for someone like Fincher who willingly places himself in legal jeopardy in the name of liberty. I hope he did this with some good, pro-bono representation lined up.
[UPDATE] There is a blog tracking the Fincher case. Currently, Fincher is still locked up. The judge has approved bail but the restrictions are ridiculous:
- Over 1 million dollars in bond (the going rate for his land).
- Forbidding him to speak to any of the MOWCA members.
- Not allowing him to have any guns in his home, or the house he would have to stay in.
- Not allowing him to live in his own home, since it is on top of a mountain with only one road for access.
- Placing him under house arrest, in which he cannot go anywhere unless there is a government approved reason.
- Restricting
his travel to go only to that government approved destination and
immediately returning to the house he would have to reside in. (Please,
no stops in between - even for the bathroom.)
