Michael Emry, 49, appeared at the Malheur National Wildilfe refuge on Jan 6., 2016, after militants took it over. He described himself as an embedded reporter with the militia. Photo by Mark Graves, The Oregonian/OregonLive.com (Mark Graves)

FBI agents searching his trailer and vehicles found a fully automatic .50-caliber machine gun – a Browning M2 -- under the bed in the trailer. Law enforcement sources also said agents found explosives.

He said he has a military background and has manufactured weapons, including automatic weapons. He said he was once described as the "Picasso of machine guns." Emry said a friend told him he wouldn't surprised if Emry could "make a machine gun out of toaster."

News of Emry's arrest ricocheted through the self-styled patriot and militia community via social media Friday night. Some claimed the arrest was timed for a day when the sheriff was out of town, a claim that couldn't be confirmed.

"The cowards waited for Sheriff Palmer to be out of town," said one Facebook post. "How much more do we have to take? Do they not realize the [expletive] time bomb they are playing with?"

1. Emry attempted to establish a militia unit guarding the Bundies in Maheur and when that failed

colluded with the Grant county sheriff to provide safe haven for the Bundies and other occupiers in Grant county

That ended up getting Levoy 'Shit for Brains' Finicum shot by the OSP

Which is elect a militia member to county sheriff and then proceed to take over County government and establish a 'constitutionalist/sovereign' state fiefdom run by white supremacists and gunrunners

I should mention meth dealers too since a GOP county commissioner and John Cain fundraiser was arrested recently for cooking meth in her house as well as dealing LSD and cocaine

Here is a FB page where Emry and other militia types established the Voice of Grant County to do the same thing there

Enjoy if you have the stomach

FBI agents searching his trailer and vehicles found a fully automatic .50-caliber machine gun – a Browning M2 -- under the bed in the trailer. Law enforcement sources also said agents found explosives.

FBI special agent Miguel Perez said in an affidavit that Emry said the machine gun could fire at a rate of 550 to 650 rounds per minute.

"Emry admitted that he took the M2 from the shop where he works in Idaho about a month and a half ago" the affidavit said. Emry took the gun without the shop owner's knowledge, it continued.
