According to Gritz, Naomi Stewart said
that when the BATF claimed to find about
40 guns in their house, her husband Bob
whispered into her ear: "Those are not our
guns; they're planting those guns."

Gritz told WorldNetDaily the Stewarts
were living in Utah about six years ago
when Bob Stewart was featured on two
magazine covers with his self-designed
rifle. The BATF subsequently raided his
store and asked him to stop building the
Maadi-Griffin. He refused to comply,
based on the Second Amendment.

A couple of days later, according to Gritz,
two men entered Stewart's shop with an
AR-15 and asked him to "tighten the
scope." As soon as Stewart applied a
screwdriver to the weapon, the two men
pulled out their ATF badges and arrested
him because the AR-15 had been modified
to fire fully automatically.

"Now they had him working on an illegal
machine gun," said Gritz. "His wife told me
they didn't have a lawyer, and the
government talked them into plea
bargaining."

The resulting felony charge made Stewart
unable legally to possess a firearm, leaving
him facing a 10-year sentence for each gun
reportedly found in his home on Friday.

Gritz said Naomi Stewart told him that the
BATF threatened her with a paper
allegedly containing her signature, which
could serve as evidence that the Stewarts
were manufacturing machine guns. Mrs.
Stewart has her parents staying with her in
case the BATF decides to come back and
arrest her.

Gritz said Bob Stewart makes $144 per
gun. He praised the Maadi-Griffin as "an
awesome gun" that is made of the finest
materials and craftsmanship, yet is
affordable. He believes that combination
made it only a matter of time before the
ATF came to get Stewart.

Stewart is clearly a dangerous man, not.
