Authorities find bomb making materials, ammunition
cache in Illinois

PITTSFIELD, Ill. - One man was arrested and another
was sought after authorities found a cache of
household chemicals that could be used to make
bombs under a sink in his mobile home, and more
than 120 rounds of small arms ammunition.

Also found inside five campers parked in a rural
area of western Illinois were drug-making instruction
manuals, black powder, a black powder rifle, and a
small amount of ammonium nitrate, a bomb-making
material sometimes used as a fertilizer.

Sheriff Perry Petty said investigators found maps
with marks on certain areas in the glove compartment
of a car. Petty would not say which areas were marked,
but said investigators do not suspect the group, which
calls itself the United Survivalists of America, had
plans to attack or bomb anything.

"We believe the site was their compound, or gathering
point. We think they were using this property as a
command center, where they would scheme together prior
to militia training exercises where they would hunt
and fish."

Petty said investigators believe the group was small
and had been unsuccessful in getting others to join.

Petty said the man arrested in Pike County was charged
with unlawful use of an unregistered weapon and
attempting to overthrow the government. He remained
in jail Thursday after being ordered held on $50,000
bail, Petty said. He would not identify the suspect.

"We don't want any of his kind to hear about this
before we have the opportunity to locate them,"
he said.

nipples and gives them a mighty twist."

Let's see...ammonia, mothballs. Didn't "The Terminator" teach us that
these things can be used to make plastique?

Guess we'd better ban ammonia now! While we're at it, let's ban urine
because of its high ammonia content.

I was gonna say, "Just 120 rounds?" Hell, anything less that 150 and I don't
mess with the reloader. Now shotgun rounds (checks ammo box) 40+/- of em.
Mixed bag of deer slug, standard buck, and a few flechette (spelling?) rounds.
Hell, when I go plinking it's prolly with over 100 rounds of large caliber
and 400 or so .22 rounds just for annoying the targets.

Oh, and for a good one-use target try a box of skeet. Stick them in the
embankment and plink away. Otherwise stick with the swinging (self resetting)
steel animal targets. Of course don't expect the ones built for 22 to stand
up to .357 or 30-06. :)

Gee, like a question from the 1960s teevee show,

Due to my news-reader's configs and my sleepy eyes I first read the title

Boy was I confused there for a second.

Well now Mac, that's just TREASON talk, there. Next to shit itself, urine
is one of the major pillars of our way of life. Take away piss and you gut

Regional news for me. This article is low by a couple
orders of magnitude on the rounds of ammunition seized,
and says nothing of the "large number" of ready-to-go
explosive devices reported in area newspapers.

In rural Central Illinois, this arsenal would usually
be considered, well, slightly over the top, no big deal.
You have the county sheriff reassuring the public that
these guys had no plans to attack anything. Likely just
wanted to be prepared in the event that they needed to
defend their farms from UN paratroopers. They couldn't
have been taking it *too* seriously: witness the ease
with which the ATF raided. And this article neglects
to mention that the ATF was even involved.

Peculiar write-up. They're telling you this guy was
charged with attempting to overthrow the government,
and the heaviest artillery the article reports him
to have possessed was a black powder rifle and stuff
that *could* be used to make bombs. Which government
was he attempting to overthrow? Colonial Britain?

This is the best line:

>>> Also found inside five campers parked in a rural

Ammonium nitrate, a bomb-making material *sometimes*
used as a fertilizer!

Gasoline, an arson accelerant *sometimes* used as
an automotive fuel...
