Meet the Man Whose Lies Put an Innocent Sailor in Prison for 20 Years

America’s oldest Second Amendment News outlet.
To be clear, Adamiak was railroaded by Jeffrey R. Bodell, who works out of a small ATF office in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
Adamiak is about to start the third year of his 20-year federal prison sentence because the ATF reworked his legal inert RPGs until they were capable of firing a single 7.62x39mm round.
Patrick “Tate” Adamiak had been a longtime collector of semi-automatic MACs before the ATF raided his home, found nothing illegal but imprisoned him for 20 years anyway.
Adamiak’s horrific saga is finally becoming more well known, which is good. He needs a presidential pardon. In fact, the pardon list should start with him.
Federal prosecutors are now using the lies and fake evidence created by the ATF to fight an appeal filed by the 31-year-old former Navy E-6.
Adamiak was found guilty and sentenced to 20-years in prison, despite the fact that everything he possessed is still completely legal and that he had never committed any crime.
The STEN toy became the most tested and most written about gun of all the legal firearms parts seized by the ATF during their raids.
Many cases could be reviewed, but a few stand out as violating not only someone’s right to bear arms but also free speech and entrapment.
The ATF should be shuttered for what they did to Patrick Tate Adamiak, starting with the idiots involved in his case.
