Sebastian Gregerson, Detroit “survivalist”
There’s this guy in Detroit that the media is calling Sebastian Gregerson, who was arrested for possession of a number of weapons including a stash of grenades. His attorney says that he just a gun enthusiast and an outdoorsman who happens to own grenades and bazookas. He’s 29-years-old and he changed his name after high school to Abdurrahaman Bin Mikaayl when he converted to Islam.
According to the defense, Gregerson is a longtime gun enthusiast, survivalist and fisherman who has long been interested in military history and watches shows like “Dual Survivors.” He has no criminal record, has worked at Target and Walmart, and took courses at Henry Ford Community College. Sometimes, his lawyer acknowledged, Gregerson makes offensive, “highly inappropriate” and politically incorrect statements.

Gregerson also expressed an interest to an undercover agent in buying a so-called Claymore mine — an explosive device that shoots out steel balls up to 110 yards away. Gregerson referred to such mines as “magical pieces of equipment,” she said.
Reuters reports that Gregerson also owned a number of CDs labeled with Al-Awlaki’s English-language sermons calling for attacks on the United States.
He sounds perfectly normal to me – who among us hasn’t wished for a magical fishing Claymore mine?

How does that lawyer sleep at night?
Hillary Clinton defended a child rapist, and new she is a contender to be President. Not an answer to your question, just an observation.
Bernaths son?
He’s a Democrat. He attacked Trump in his defense presentation. Tells you all you need to know.
This story makes me wonder about something I’d never really given any thought before. With all the gun buying going on in this country, do you suppose the heavily Muslim communities in places like Detroit and Dearborn are stocking up as well? I’ve never read or heard a thing in the news about the topic. Might make an interesting investigative story for Breitbart or Daily Caller.
Anyone here at TAH know anything?
I know nothing and Hondo will attest to that!
In that case, Cav, you know nothing on very good authority.
POE…As usual, I don’t know nuthin’ about nuthin’. Sorry.
“Hondo not know. Hondo only pawn in game of life.”

Absent a felony conviction, they have the same right to keep and bear arms as anyone else.
So, your answer is probably yes, just like everyone else.
Lawyers are required to use any and all defense for their client; otherwise, said client could claim incompetent defense, and be acquitted of his charges. or something like that. I am not an attorney, nor have I portrayed one on TV.
Neither is Daniel Bernath.
I hope the similarities end there. I have never ran an airplane out of gas, and although I have never been a CPO, I am a SFC.
Yeah, well I ate at KFC, drive a BFT, and am HMFIC in my spacious domicile. And I’m kinda a big deal.
I did once run out of gas in my BFT(but didn’t crash).
Alas, I have never been a CPO, even a fake one…
I’m not an attorney, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
Still amazes me how defense attorneys can ditch conscience for a paycheck and a few free lunches with mayor.
Why do you that most politicians are lawyers???
Because it’s a gig that doesn’t require higher math?
I want a bazooka……
For fishing, of course
That’s what grenades are used for. Nothing tosee here. By the way that beard looks Amish to me here in PA.
Correction That’s a Methodist beard. The Amish don’t have the mustache part.
ARE YOU SURE he’s not a Jehovah’s Witness gone rogue?
Ohhh, a fishing bazooka, interesting. Maybe one of them German style mountings for the front of the bass boat?
A Public Defender, I presume?
…’highly offensive and politically incorrect statements’…
I think that applies to a lot of people, doesn’t it?
You called?
Applies to pretty much all of TAH in one form or another!
When a lefty says that, it means the guy is a terrorist sympathizer. Or a terrorist.
This sounds like it has the potential for an episode of Perry Mason meets The Twilight Zone.
The linked article says his defense lawer is the same guy who prosecuted the Underwear Bomber. So it’s not like the lawer is a first case after law school neophyte from the public defender’s office.
And the judge has a funny sounding last name and is female. Could get interesting.
Long story short. He didn’t necessarily want a Claymore to make it go bang. He wanted the bag the Claymore comes in to tote the fish back home in after grenade fishing. After all, I don’t think a fishing license is required since you’re not harvesting any fish with a rod and reel.
Oops, belay my comment. Not enough coffee yet this morning. I got the lawers all mixed up. I don’t know what I’m talking about. Sorry bout that.
I’ll go away now.
They’re called “DuPont Lures”. Please use correct nomenclature.
“Front toward fish”
NO the Claymore is used for hunting not fishing. Again no Deer tags or license required(maybe), one blast of the Claymore and Rabbit and Deer limits are filled. Leave the over limit game for the unlucky hunters. /sarc Joe

What’s funny, and not surprising, is that the leftist newspapers here made no mention of his Islamic name. Just saying he was some mentally disturbed guy.
Not sure there is a difference, any more.
I was shocked that the Detroit Free Press, AKA Michigan Pravda, even mentioned that he had a muslim name, and had converted to Islam, piss be upon him.
The Freep makes the New Yawk Times seem like a publication of the John Birch Society.
Really? I didn’t see it. I corrected an MLive article with his Islamic name with an asterisk in the comments and it got deleted. How fucking stupid. I don’t understand how or why folks continually kiss the ass of an ideology of hate.
Progressivism and Islam are co-belligerants in the war to destroy western civilization.
The Left believe that they can use Islam a a hammer to break capitalism, then reform Islam to be Progressive. The Caliphate-types expect that the slaves are trying to help their masters win.
He watches “Dual Survival?” A radical islamist Joe Teti fan with explosives. I’m sure that’s nothing to worry about.
But, does he drink his own piss to give himself a “competitive edge”?
Whizzorade – the drink of choice of Stolen Valor thieves!
“What does one do with a grenade?” U.S. Magistrate Judge Mona Majzoub asked.
“Why would anybody want to purchase a mine?”
Wrong questions, Mona, not to mention the stupidity of asking them aloud in a courtroom. The reporter, Tresa Baldas, also put her genius on display, referring to the claymore as a “so-called Claymore mine.”
Aw, come on. I’ve heard that the TAH Command Post has stuff like this and more in case someone ever comeths.
The TAH compound was the subject of an aerial recon by someone that witnesses described as “an ugly Barney the Dinosaur looking bastard”. He also had a crusty white beard and was heard talking about coconuts, and witnesses said that his voice rose and fell very quickly, like he was trying to talk in capital letters and lower case letters in the same word.
Grenades for fishing? Check
A Claymore mine? (For hunting “packs” of deer perhaps?). Maybe he was going to set up the Claymore next to his trail camera… and when he saw a bunch of deer he planned to set it off?)
/sarc/
I’m not saying its a good idea to own any of those things however when the 2nd Amendment was written private ownership of rockets, landmines, cannons, etc… was pretty common for the super-rich as we would call them today.
What part of shall not be infringed is he being prosecuted by?
Thank God he didn’t own any of those dangerous AR 47’s that spray 3000 bullets per second.
I thought they were ak15’s
What about the “ghost gun”? I hear those things can fire off 30 round magazine clips in under 3 seconds.
You mean the scary-looking black rifle that some pol said had a “30 Clip Magazine”? NO, WAIT, yeah, it could fire a thirty clip magazine in half a second, ain’t politicians smart?
“Doesn’t have a criminal record. ”
He will soon….
Pfft. You crank fish, you don’t blow ’em up. Amateurs.
Oops.
Blowing them up is fun!!
What we used to do as kids was go over to the grain elevator and dig up a bunch of redworms from the swept corn area. Go out to the marl pit where the dead fall tree was. Throw out the can of redworms where the crappies hung out in the branches. Wait about a minute and toss in two or three cherry bombs. Scoop them out with a net.
No muss, no fuss and tons of fun for all.
“No muss, no fuss and tons of fun for all.”
With possible exception being the crappies. And the Game Warden r i g h t b e h i n d y o u!
*grin*
Nope. No game wardens. Private pond. Not to mention the son of the owner would come out there and go “fishing” with us kids whenever he and his folks got a hankering for fresh crappies.
True story: I was once swimming off a boat in the sea near Nha Trang when some dickhead ARVN tossed a concussion grenade in the water on the other side of the boat. It brought my ass out of the water like a freakin’ orca. The ARVN thought it was the funniest thing since the kegger at Fat Nguyen’s.
This reminds me of that old joke. “You gonna fish or just sit there with a lit stick of Dynamite?”
Just sell him that special Claymore with “Front Toward Enemy” on the other side 🙂
And of course, lost in the story is the fact it’s been illegal for private citizens to own hand grenades for a bit over 80 years now.
So why is this not in federal court?
