Anti-US activist convicted of buying gun for 'revolution'

Jurors on Thursday convicted an anti-government activist on firearms charges after authorities said he sought out high-powered weaponry for a coming "second American revolution."

William Krisstofer Wolf of Montana was arrested after buying an automatic, sawed-off shotgun for $720 from an undercover FBI agent nicknamed "Dirty" in a truck stop parking lot. He was found guilty of possession of a machine gun and failing to register a firearm.

Automatic weapons that can fire multiple rounds with a single pull of the trigger are considered machine guns under federal law.

Wolf testified that he was seeking a legal version of the same weapon and intended to use it for home defense. But the 53-year-old carpenter and host of an anti-government webcast also acknowledged that he wanted to acquire a flamethrower and spoke of targeting judges, elected officials and law enforcement in an anticipated conflict between the United States and its citizens.

A friend of mine had his class III and owned one, it could pour out 20 12ga rounds in a matter of seconds. It was a blast to shoot that's for sure.

Since all saiga's were made after 1986, it's the only way an American can get the NFA version.

Edit: Well, I guess you could be a police department too. That could get it.
