According to the Justice department, Dugan was charged with one count of engaging in the business of manufacturing explosive materials without a license, one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device, and one count of distributing information relating to manufacturing explosives.

26 U.S. Code § 5861(a) makes it unlawful to engage in business as a manufacturer of "firearms" (defined in this section to include destructive devices, which includes explosive bombs) without a license. Dugan did receive donations, but he wasn't selling explosives AFAIK, so this charge is obviously bullshit.

26 U.S. Code § 5861(d) makes it unlawful to possess a "firearm" (defined in this section to include destructive devices, which includes explosive bombs) which is not registered. The law states that "destructive device” shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon. I don't know what the feds took, but AFAIK Dugan never made any kind of bomb with shrapnel or large quantities of explosives that could be intended to be used as a weapon.

18 U.S. Code § 842(p)(2)(A) prohibits the distribution of information pertaining to the manufacture of explosives "with the intent" that the information be used for or in furtherance of a crime. The feds' case on that charge hinges on proving intent. Apparently Dugan made a comment that "the wrong people could get it" and "it could be misused." I don't think knowing that someone could use information for a crime is intending that information be used for a crime.

Goes without saying that these laws are entirely unconstitutional.

Dugan is innocent. Unfortunately, juries are made up of retards, so I don't have high hopes.
