GREGORY GIRARD of Manchester-by-the-sea, Massachusetts. Yes, he believes what Glen Beck and others say - that Obama is a dictator and socialist and has bad breath and stuff. So, he's armed himself with a big batch of really bad and illegal (which for America is saying an awful lot!) weapons, and a shooting range, and other scary stuff.
He is a "Tea-Bagger" or "Tea-Partier" or whatever, and a follower of Sarah Palin, whom he sees as a Christ-given force for good who will save us from the Armageddon which Obama has in store for us.
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA, Mass. (AP) — A dangerousness hearing has been rescheduled to next week for a Massachusetts man police say told them he was preparing for Armageddon when they found weapons, ammunition, and tear gas grenades at his home.
Gregory Girard of Manchester-by-the-Sea will be held without bail until the hearing Tuesday in Salem Superior Court. It had originally been set for Friday.
The 45-year-old Girard was arrested Tuesday after officers searching his home found about 20 high-powered rifles, shotguns, handguns, knives, body armor, camouflage clothing, and stockpiles of nonperishable food and medicine. He had permits for some weapons.
He pleaded not guilty Wednesday to four counts of possession of an infernal device and four counts of possession of a dangerous weapon.

I read the rest of the article and cannot believe the comments after the article. All the ones I read said he did nothing wrong, this is not illegal, welcome to the POLICE STATE,etc!! What kind of damage can Glen Beck & Rush Limbaugh do, you ask?? Too many ignorant people are listening to them! We should beware!
Actually the grenades are legal since they are NON-EXPLOSIVE, the police battons are only illegal if in a vehicle or carried in public, and the law in MA is if you are owner/occupant of the building you are shooting in it is legal (DUMB law in my opinion)
The police got a search warrant by revoking his firearm license due to an unsubstantiated claim of explosive grenades.
Also all of his 11 rifles and 2 handguns were bought and registered legally.
1st. The state messed up by giving this nutjob a license for firearms
2. The state violated his constitutional rights in the way they reacted to this man.
I do not think this guy should have all those weapons, but the law allows him to, and if he has committed no crime who are we to steal his weapons and throw him in jail for his opinions.
The fact that some, most, or even all of the guns seized may be 'legal' doesn't change my opinion that they shouldn't be, nor change my opinion that the guy is nuts.
What a society we have made! So free and yet so violent.
