Decorated Combat Veteran Arrested In New York: Charged With 5 Felonies For Possession of AR Magazines

In the latest attack on the American people, a decorated War Hero has been arrested and charged with five counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon, for having empty 30 round AR-15 Magazines in his vehicle.
On Sunday January 6th Staff Sgt. Nathan Haddad, a decorated combat veteran, was driving through Jefferson County New York when he was randomly pulled over for a vehicle check. Haddad, who had five 30 round empty magazines in his possession, was arrested by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department and charged with five felony counts.
According to Haddad’s brother, Michael Haddad, Nathan thought these magazines were legally made before the New York Assault Weapons Ban. When Nathan Haddad was arrested the new ban had not even been fully enacted yet.
This is not a criminal, this is not some thug looking to hurt people; this is a decorated combat veteran who was recently honored by the Philadelphia chapter of Blue Star Mothers and the Union League’s Armed Services Council for helping disabled vets get back on their feet. What’s happening to Army veteran Nate Haddad is an absolute attack on liberty. Here we have a man who honorably served his country, who was trusted with weaponry that far exceeded anything he was carrying, that now finds himself facing the possibility of spending years in prison.
Still think these gun control laws are meant to stop criminals?
Nathan Haddad’s brother has set up a legal defense fund for his brother who cannot afford to fight these charges on his own. We ask that you share this story with everyone you know so that this attack on Hassad is seen for what it is, an attack on every law abiding citizen in America.

The Jefferson County, New York Sheriff's department are just pawns being played for the corrupt interests trying to set up their Agenda 21 and communist dictatorship death camps directives against the American people. The Sheriff's are either really stupid or just plain Un-American, and don't believe in Freedoms for people. They are prostitutes for the elite working for filthy lucre and "new and improved equipment" for "their" departments. We don't need people like this in control of public policy. The American people have a tremendous amount of respect for Hassad who served in the military defending our Freedom and interests. Let's pray for him that the Lord Jesus will remove the shackles and set him free!!! Throw out the foolish citation for empty magazines that have been legal forever, and still are NOT officially "illegal", and remove all the charges against him! If God has to strike people with lightening who are doing wrong, we ask that you cause it to happen, and put God's people on top!

As a prepper/Life NRA Member/very pro-Gun guy I often find myself frustrated with the MSM re-iterating, speculating and adding commentary yet providing few facts or one side of the story.

The details have all been reported in the news and with some research you can find out that half the info here and on other blogs is speculation and misinformation to stir the pot.

The FACTS:
-Sgt Haddad is vet and a HERO
-He's Not Active Military so not duty gear and not why he had the mags on him
-Was no LE road block/checkpoint
-Was not a random check, he was in a parking lot of an abandon business at 7:30PM
-LEO saw the car and decided to check the situation out
-LEO simply asked what he was doing and Sgt Haddad said he was "meeting someone to sell AR15 Magazines"
- This is the point where the incident went from the LEO just checking the situation out to discretion of what to do
- Given the new info, LEO asked to see The Mags, which turned out to be marked “Restricted For military use only” Not pre-Ban mags and not legal for civilians even before new NY law

I am not for laws that restrict mags/guns trust me! I dont live in NY anymore and feel sorry for residents and for the LE who not only have to enforce this law but deal with some pretty tough situations. Just because they arent in combat doesnt mean they dont serve the country or put their life on the line(& just as low pay as the military)

Right or wrong these mags have been illegal for a long time. Donate to his defense fund if you feel it helps, I hope they pull the law back, maybe this will help the cause in NY. But lets not take this out on the officer who just made a judgment call on a guy in a dark parking lot of an abandoned building who stated "I am meeting someone here to sell AR15 Mags"

In this "revolt" many of you boast about, the Military will be disarming us right with LE. Blame the Lawmakers not LE. VOTE, so the LE and MIL have better laws and leaders. Dont fuel the fire of the left with hate speech!
