Three Gaston County men were charged Monday with making weapons to use against the United States.

Three Gaston County men are accused of collecting and constructing weapons to potentially use against the United States.
Walter Eugene Litteral, 50, Christopher James Barker, 41, both of Gastonia, and Christopher Todd Campbell, 30, of Mount Holly, were arrested Saturday and appeared in federal court in Charlotte Monday.
The men believed that the government intended to use the armed forces to impose martial law and they planned to resist with violent force, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Live grenades
Charges stem from information investigators received on or about June 18.
Litteral and Barker were allegedly attempting to manufacture explosive or destructive devices.
Days later, investigators say they received information that Campbell was reconstructing live grenades from “dummy grenades” which are sold legally as military artifacts.
Prepping for attack
Court documents say that Litterral had been purchasing numerous pieces of military equipment in preparation for the possible attack.
His alleged shopping list included ammunition for a .338-caliber rifle, handheld radios with throat microphones for communication, military-issue Kevlar helmets, body armor vests and protective headgear designed to expose only parts of the face.
Testing in Shelby
Investigators allege that Litteral and Campbell wanted to manufacture destructive devices such as pipe bombs and grenades, and they possessed some of the needed components.
According to investigators, Barker provided Litteral with pipe fittings which are needed to manufacture pipe bombs.
Litteral allegedly wanted to test the destructive devices in Shelby with Barker at his side.
Litteral said, “It is going to be great,” according to court documents.
Firearms for a felon
Litteral is accused of trying to purchase a firearm and ammunition for Barker.
According to court records, Litteral filled out the required form with his own information, even though the gun was intended for Barker. Using his own debit card, Barker allegedly purchased ammunition and a large-capacity magazine for the gun.
Barker is a convicted felon which prohibits him from purchasing or possessing a firearm or ammunition.
Next day in court
Criminal complaints against the men were filed in late July 2015 and remained sealed Monday afternoon.
The men had their initial court appearances Monday and will remain in federal custody until their next hearings Thursday.
The trio is charged with conspiracy to violate laws governing firearms and explosive devices.
Campbell is also charged with receiving, possessing and making a firearm – which definition includes a destructive device.
Federal investigators raided a business in Belmont and homes in Gastonia and Mount Holly during the investigation Saturday.

Their key mistake. Manufacture of anti-personnel explosive devices will always get you busted by the feds.

Other than the homemade grenades, their only real offense was providing the weapon to a felon.

Excuse me,but could somebody PLEASE splain to me what what used to be a requirement for citizenship became a federal crime?

Litteral and Barker were allegedly attempting to manufacture explosive or destructive devices.

The gubbermint should have left them alone. That is the sort of problem that usually corrects itself.

Days later, investigators say they received information that Campbell was reconstructing live grenades from “dummy grenades” which are sold legally as military artifacts.

Uh,huh. And just where was this loon going to get the military grade explosives to use in them? Black powder won't do more than make a loud noise.

His alleged shopping list included ammunition for a .338-caliber rifle,

Lame. What next,reports of him buying 12 gauge shotgun shells?

handheld radios with throat microphones for communication,

You mean like kids buy to play army with? When did they become illegal?

military-issue Kevlar helmets,

Perfectly legal for anyone to own or they wouldn't be sold in surplus stores.

body armor vests and protective headgear designed to expose only parts of the face.

Once again,perfectly legal.

Sounds to me like the cops got steamed because somebody go to play with the neat stuff they love to play with,but didn't have a badge.

Investigators allege that Litteral and Campbell wanted to manufacture destructive devices such as pipe bombs and grenades,

Big woop. They "wanted" to do something. Maybe they also "wanted" to flap their arms and fly to Venus? Is that a "thought crime" also?

WTF ever happened to arresting people in this country for the things they actually DO,instead of the things cops "think" they MIGHT do?

and they possessed some of the needed components.

Big deal. So do most people that have ever done home repairs. Or have even THOUGHT about doing home repairs.

According to investigators, Barker provided Litteral with pipe fittings which are needed to manufacture pipe bombs.

You mean like the pipe fittings that are also used to.......well,fit pipes together?

Did they also arrest everyone that works at all the building supply joints?

Litteral allegedly wanted to test the destructive devices in Shelby with Barker at his side.

Please refer back to my "self-solving problem" statement.

Litteral is accused of trying to purchase a firearm and ammunition for Barker.

According to court records, Litteral filled out the required form with his own information, even though the gun was intended for Barker. Using his own debit card, Barker allegedly purchased ammunition and a large-capacity magazine for the gun.

Barker is a convicted felon which prohibits him from purchasing or possessing a firearm or ammunition.

Ok,technicall,this IS illegal. I say "technically" because the feral government has deemed it to be so although it violated the Bill of Rights. It was NOT illegal for a former felon to buy,own,or possess firearms prior to 1968,when the communists in Congress passed a bill and the criminal from Texas in the WH signed it into law.

It is only a law today because nobody has the stones to file suit against the feral government in a feral govenrment court. Not because you would lose,but because the feral government has an unlimited supply of laywers on their payroll to stall it and stall it until you are bankrupt,and even if you did manage to win on the state level and it was kicked up to the feral level,the asshats on the US Surpeme Court would refuse to hear it because they know they would have to vote to repeal the law.

Campbell is also charged with receiving, possessing and making a firearm – which definition includes a destructive device.

There are no feral laws against making firearms for personal use. You just can't make one and sell or trade it to someone else without having the proper feral and state permits.

Federal investigators raided a business in Belmont and homes in Gastonia and Mount Holly during the investigation Saturday.

They have the time,the money,and the manpower to go after these idiots,yet the Clintons and the Bushes and at least 75 US Senators are left to roam free?
