PSA, NAGR Ask Supreme Court To Review ATF’s NFA Abuse In Adamiak Case

An inert, nonfiring RPG that was owned by Patrick “Tate” Adamiak. The ATF replaced dozens of internal parts in the nonfiring device in order to get it to fire one 7.62x39mm round. As a result, Adamiak was charged federally with owning real rocket-propelled grenade launchers. (Photo courtesy of Adamiak).

Patrick “Tate” Adamiak was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after the government treated cut-up parts, separated components, and inert training tubes as National Firearms Act weapons. Now Palmetto State Armory, the National Association for Gun Rights, and the Right to Bear Association are asking the Supreme Court to step in.
