Syad Maaz Shah from Pakistan was found guilty of Weapons charges in a Houston Federal Court last week.  Mr. Shah was found guilty of being an alien in possession of a firearm, a penalty that can carry up to 20 years in the State Penn.

Mr. Shah said he was merely on a camping trip with buddies. The FBI says he along with his buddies were on a military training trip with the ultimate goal of joining in Jihad against U.S. Forces overseas.

Mr. Shah stated in a letter to the UTD Mercury, a student newspaper, that;

“I was invited by my friends to go camping and have a good time, and that’s what we had,” “Isn’t it mind-boggling that someone can be placed in prison for merely going to a shooting range? … I mean, for God’s sake, we live in Texas …”

However, during the trial, Shah said he and his buddies were going on “fishing” trips. 

This “fishing trip with friends” as Mr. Shah states, took place at a remote place near Willis Texas, which is about a 3 hour drive from Dallas.

I don’t know about you, but I jump in the truck and drive 3 hours to go Fishing all the time just to end up shooting assault weapons. Yep, we have some tough fish here in Texas!

His “fishing” buddies and their alleged crimes are as follows.

Hmmm, them are some pretty tough “fishing” buddies. I think if i was Mr. Shah, I’d find me some different fishing buddies.

But that’s not all. The FBI found extremist propaganda on Mr. Shah’s personal computer as well including one file labeled “Statue of Liberty in a Burka“. Probably in the same folder as his Bass Pro wish list I’d imagine.

And the weapon he’s accused of possessing? An Armalite M-15 Assault Weapon.

Where was the graphite rod at?
