COURTHOUSE,
Sept 5 – A man arrested with a
50 round drum magazine and gun
parts from China for
conversion to automatic was
ordered released on bond on
September 4 but the US
Attorney's Office
appealed.
On
September 5 the appeal was
heard by U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Margaret M.
Garnett. Inner City Press was
there, thread:
AUSA: A search of
his apartment found firearms
and tools ordered by mail from
China, ghost guns, Glilock
switches, a 50 round drum.
Everything needed for a mass
shooting.
Federal Defender:
I can't really hear.
Judge: It's a
beautiful space but the
acoustics....
Federal Defender:
There's a decision in the
District of Kansas 10 days ago
dismissing a similar 922(o)
gun charge under the Supreme
Court's Bruen decision.
Judge: This is
not a presumption case. The
offense is troubling, the
evidence is strong. He's
become a US citizen. It's a
close call but I will not
detain him.
The case is US v.
Pimintel, 24-mj-3217 (Garnett
