This B.S. they are creating criminals out of honest citizens and using our money to try them in court.

While I agree with your sentiment, the law is the law. As bad as it may be, breaking the law carries consequences.

Comments on Watertown Daily:

Until the constitution changes, it is the JURY, not the law, the prosecutor, nor the judge that determines to convict or acquit a defendant!

Jury nullification may occur when members of the jury disagree with the law that the defendant has been charged with, or believe that the law should not be applied in that particular case.

When an agency prosecutes "by the book" without employing common sense, its a reflection on that agency's leadership and wastes tax money. When the state's stupidity reaches the courtroom the matter is left to jurors and it is they who must apply common sense if the law is to serve the public interest rather than a prosecutor's track-record.

Google, "jury nullification" for more information. Just something to know when an otherwise law abiding citizen is arrested and dragged into court because a well-intended law is being misapplied. Don't expect jury nullification to be covered in the "instructions to the jury" and a juror who asks about it, will likely be sent home because the court exists to serve the law, not justice.

To the writer of this story,
If you are going to write about someone, get the damn facts straight and dont just print the bad stuff. How about the fact that he has never been arrested in his life, is an active member in his church, teaches bible study every friday night, volunteers with the boy scouts, doesnt drink, smoke or even swear. This has nothing to do with him being a HONORABLY DISCHARGED VETRAN, He was not injured in Korea doing special forces training, yes was hurt when he was in selection for the Secial Forces but that has nothing to do with it. He was simply selling 5 empty magazines EMPHASIS on EMPTY, there was no weapon in the truck that uses said magazines nor ammo. Heck the police didnt even know how to fill out the paperwork for that matter. Get your damn information straight before you try to ruin someones life. He is the one person in this world that I would trust with m y life. Media propaganda at its best (NOT)!!!!!

I thought it was a misdemeanor charge to be in possession of higher than 7 round magazines. Is it now a felony?

The American people need to understand this concept. It is we the people who decide what the law is and what it is not or should not be on a case by case basis. Not the Supreme Court,not Congress or the local Mayor, not even the Sheriff.

I had heard at first that the NY law would make it a felony but then the reporting said something less. Just goes to show you what they say and do seperate often as to serve their intent.
