Army Vet Nathan HaddadIn 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.

If this is as presented it's disgusting, and part of why I'm suspicious of LEO's anymore. I klnow there are good ones out there, but you sure hear alot of the bad stuff. If this is what things are going to be like we are well and truly lost.

BULLSHIT 2nd, there are NO 'GOOD ONES'. If there were they'd be getting rid of the trash that has infested and infected their ranks.

the same charges the punk-ass NBC reporters walked on when they filmed themelves with 30 rd mags in washington DC???

the definition of corruption is when law is not even handed. a reporter who is in bed with the party walks but a CITIZEN gets the whole book thrown at him? even when he has committed no crime and had no intent to do any?

don't this sound a lot like the former soviet union to you?--

i know it does to me.

holder is really working hard to earn the title "in-justice dept!"

When were the Magus made? I thought you were allowed to keep them for up to a year if you already have them? What law did he actually break? Im confused.

According to this - [Only registered and activated users can see links.

Also the article says that the magazines were stamped "For military or LE use only" which would seem to date them from a time during the Federal AWB which would make them illegal in NY even before this new ridiculous law they just passed.

Seems to be very little info on this story out there right now.

I forgot New York was already restricted to 10 round mags my mistake. I could have swore the new law just outlawed 30 round mags?? wasn't there something about New York residents being allowed to sell their high capacity mags out of state?

What was the laws before this latest 1?

NYS banned "hi cap magazines" but allows "pre-ban" magazines just like the expired fed AW ban did. NYS ban did not expire, so the "for LE use only" blurb pretty much said they were post-ban and he was arrested.

SO BASICALY HE WAS ARESSTED FOR BREAKING THE ORIGINAL LAW. AN THE NEW LAW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. SIMPLY PUT HE WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WITH ILLEAGLE MAGS PER NY LAW AN WAS ARESSTED.

That was when they made that 7 round law, they are giving a one year time period (I think) to sell any mag over 7 rounds.

But as you & Kernel mentioned, NY had a 10 round limit on all mags since the 94 AWB and anything marked "LEO/Government use only" is illegal in that state.
