‘Survivalist’ produced explosives at home
Gazette.net ^

Posted on 05/28/2008 8:52:11 AM PDT by mnehring

Investigators say a ‘‘survivalist” with a stockpile of food and more than 30 weapons and 230 pounds of chemicals was ‘‘rolling along” in producing explosives in his Gaithersburg townhouse when he was arrested last week.

When authorities searched the man’s home, they also found his 12-year-old son sleeping with a loaded handgun under his pillow and another within reach, county police said.

An anonymous tip about illegal fireworks led federal and county investigators to James L. Boka, 47, officials said. He was arrested May 21 and charged with 11 counts of possession of a destructive device, two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of weapon endangerment to a minor, according to a statement from county fire officials. He was released from custody the same day on $60,000 bond.

‘‘The amount of chemicals that he had in his house were a public safety hazard,...‘‘...We were just glad we were able to stop this guy because he was already rolling along.

A James Boka registered with an online Ron Paul county group described himself as a U.S. Navy veteran who has worked inside Washington for 25 years in nearly every major agency, including World Bank, Pentagon.

I have been aware of the plan to destroy the USA for many years now and I have grown tired of preaching the danger to so many people who do not want to hear it,the profile continues. ...There is nothing more important to any American right now than to fight off the attempts of the New World Order and its puppet masters from destroying the last few pieces of the United States Constitution before it is too late. I want to help in any way I can so my son does not grow up in a fascist police state.

Idiots who don't practice basic gun safety rules just give ammo to the anti-second amendment crowd.

Here is the Einstein who let's his 12-year old sleep with a loaded gun under his pillow.

Hopefully the 12 year-old is smarter about gun safety.

ok - so exactly is the problem with a 12 year old young man sleeping with a pistol?
By 12, most younsters should be very adept with firearms.

They say this like it was a bad thing.

Here is his Amazon wish list.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=wishlist&id=2OLUVSWWIAW0N

Books on how to build rockets and explosives, alien invasion and 9/11 conspiracy stuff, and tons of government conspiracy books about secret underground bases.. of course, I’m sure the left will try to say this is a typical ‘right winger’ and not an apparent nut.

Basic gun safety. Always keep a gun unloaded until it is ready to use. Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons. Anyone with even the most basic NRA or gun safety training knows this.

Placing a loaded gun under your pillow is idiotic to say the least and something one should only see in the movies. This shows disgregard for firearms safety and his son's life.

LOL. Every 12 year old should sleep with a loaded handgun under his pillow? You really see nothing slightly off about this?

Nothing is wrong with a 12 year being adept with firearms......

But as a former NRA safety Instructor, words escape me that you appear to not recognize the gun safety issues not to mention the bad parenting skills.......

Please tell me that’s not what you meant!?!

Really, in a free country, of the things mentioned, what shouldn't he have been able to do?

Well, he hasn’t been tried as of yet, but the article and preferences in books does not paint a pretty picture of the man.

He sounds unhinged, I bet he a DU or Koz Boy.

Sheeple don't know basic gun safety. This guy is an idiot. The real sheep are the ones who blindly see nothing wrong with what he was doing just because he is anti-government. The fact is, letting his 12 year old son sleep with a loaded gun under his pillow is stupid and things like this harm second amendment rights by giving the left a caricature of what they claim the ‘right’ is.

My 11th birthday present was a shotgun, and, by the age of 12 I owned several handguns. However...I have never considered "under my pillow" to be a safe place for a loaded weapon.

Of course, as far back as I can remember, my parents constantly pounded the rules of firearms safety into my young skull...

I should also add that it seems ‘sheep’ use the term sheeple a lot, almost in unison... baaa. baaa... sheeple...sheeple... just ignore the fact that nuts like this harm the rest of our ability to retain our rights because they can't follow basic rules of safety and responsibility. They give proverbial ammo to the left to take away our rights.
