When asked if he had a FID card, Kurzter allegedly said, "I don't have one," and was subsequently placed under arrest.
Following the arrest, the FBI searched Kurtzer's residence, with the consent of his girlfriend. During the searched of 42B Memorial Dr., police found the following weapons, according to court documents:

• Two assault rifles
• Marlin bolt-action rifle with an obliterated serial number
• Two handguns (including a .45 caliber pistol and Colt MKIV Series 80 pistol)

FIP, obliterated serial #s, 5 restraining orders, 1 round of .300 AAC - this guy is in trouble. Does it take the FBI 2 months to look into something like this, or did the MSP blow a larger investigation?

Looks like he was living over in Lake St.

I'll start it with " what's his nes screen name?"

Interesting. Too bad all that machinery will no doubt be framed as for the production of firearms, not air rifles. Doesn't seem like they found very much if he was producing actual firearms.

I'll bet they missed the shovels that he had in the basement that were ready to become killey rifles.

The armed robbery conviction, if legit, is enough for me to not give a damn what happens to him.

ATF is going to be pissed that the FBI is in their territory.

If they checked out his youtube channel they'd have seen that he can't even mount a scope facing the right way.

Man arrested for graveyard target practice

A Weymouth man was arrested for shooting targets in a Quincy cemetery with an augmented sniper rifle, Quincy police said.

According to police, officers received a call at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon from a man in the cemetery saying he saw another man with a rifle.

Officers arrived on scene and spoke with the witness, who said he was going to his mother's grave to drop off some flowers when he saw the suspect lying behind the rifle in the graveyard.

He called police to report the incident. The suspect then approached him and pushed the witness against the hood of his car until police arrived.

Police said the suspect was dressed head to toe in camouflage and had a long-range 50 caliber rifle with a tripod attached. A target was approximately 50 feet away.

According to police, the suspect had augmented the rifle so that it could shoot bullets in a different way. The suspect told police he found instructions on how to augment the rifle on the Internet.

Police also discovered two rifles, an air pistol, and several air cannons in the suspect’s car along with some Adderall.

Robert Kurtzer, 33, from Weymouth, was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace, possession of a Class B substance, possession of ammunition components, and carrying a dangerous weapon.

Yep... if it's removable and could be used on a firearm according to the ATF...

Moron yes. Who exactly did he hurt with this?

Hard to say. I bet it has to do with why the feds were on his trail in the first place. Was he selling weapons/parts to people? Gave info or parts to an informant?

Ya that was awfully foolish.

I love how the non-shooting public thinks 600 rounds of ammunition is alot they always mention the amount of ammunition in articles like these, like it makes any difference

Guy does not care. Target practicing in full camo in a Quincy graveyard in 2013. Most people would've laid low after that. Not him.

I'm on this side of the fence unless something comes into a better light but I gotta ask.

Will they try and make milling machines illegal?

Like everyone, my suspicion is always before I read these threads that some lawful citizen, carrying the requisite licenses and behaving as he/she should, is getting jacked up for some contrived BS charges. Well, we know that happens, but it's typically fools like this who have no regard nor interest in anything other than doing stupid shit.

 

[bigblue]

Just for the record "stupid shit" still falls under "shall not be infringed".

 

[Greschner 4]

Not always. For this clown, stupid shit will fall under "shall be incarcerated".

I realize that is what our current laws state. However in reality all I see is a bunch of stupid shit that doesn't reach the level of harming others. Has he done other shit that harms others? Yep. Shooting an air rifle and spinning some steel aren't exactly the same as blowing up buildings.

This guy is probably a nuclear grade shitbird (I don't think you get convicted of armed robbery and get 5 ROs on you just by having bad luck) but it shows you the sorry state of the system if they have to resort to bogus/flimsy gun violations to lock him up again. Worse yet, half of the shit will get dropped and he'll walk again in probably a couple years or less, who knows.
