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.

Here is another link! INTVERVIEW - COMBAT VETERAN ARRESTED! New York's draconian Gun Ban has now claimed it's first VICTIM! On February 1, 2013 at 1:15pm, I conducted a phone interview with Michael Haddad, brother of Nathan Haddad, the Veteran accused of violating New York's law which bans "large capacity ammunition feeding devices." Nathan Haddad, a decorated combat veteran with 4 overseas deployments, including Iraq and Korea is now under Arrest! For obvious reasons, his attorney has advised him not make any statements. Nathan Haddad served his Country for 12 years in the United States Army, before being injured during Special Forces Training. He was discharged from Fort Drum, New York in October of 2010, due to injuries sustained in training. On January 6, 2013, at approximately 7:30pm, Haddad was traveling down Steinhilber Road in the town of LeRay, NY., when was pulled over by a Deputy from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. A search was conducted of Haddad's vehicle and 5 AR-15 magazines were found in the trunk of his car. It is unknown what, if any, probable cause was had to justify this search. Haddad is now being charged with Five counts of Third Degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon, a Felony! Prior to all the recent gun control legislation in New York, "pre-ban" magazines, those manufactured prior to 1994, were legal. The Sheriff's Department alleges the magazines in his possession were not "pre-ban" and that would make them illegal. Imagine someone banning spoons, now it becomes your duty to prove when you bought them, and if you can't, congratulations! You're now a Felon. Michael Haddad reported that his brother is a true Patriot who loves his Country, but has even been forced to sell all of his firearms to pay the legal fees associated with this injustice. In addition, if convicted, Nathan Haddad will lose his Right to Keep and Bear Arms and all of the Veterans Benefits, including his disability payments - something he spent 12 years fighting for! Michael went on to say that his brother Nathan planned to donate any money left over money from his Legal Defense Fund to other Veterans facing similar persecution. Many Freedom loving New Yorkers are refusing to register their guns and or comply with New York's unconstitutional, draconian gun laws, and are saying they will not register their semi-auto rifles or modify their magazines. Turning law abiding gun owners and American Heroes into Criminals doesn't keep this Country safe and only places fear and distrust into our most ardent defenders. Nathan Haddad, a decorated combat veteran with multiples deployments to Afghanistan, spent spent 12 years serving his Country in the United States Army
