I don't know if anyone has noticed the ominous message posted JEMTREK's website. I dropped Ken an email to ask what's up. Here is his repsonse

**************
Dear Douglas,

Good to here from you. We can't say a great deal, as I believe the email is monitored, but in a nut shell, we were raided last week, & I was charged with two counts of "Unsecure Storage", & the cops confiscated 2,750 full guns & hundreds of frames & recievers. We are effectively closed for trading in full registereable (in NSW), guns & frames etc. We can still trade in parts & accessories, & genuine antiques (Antiques under NSW law not the rest of the worlds laws), so we are very effectively crippled,
pending the outcome of the court case, which could drag out, as these things do. Of course we are innocent of all charges & will pursue this vigorously as far as we can. It has been a most traumatic & stressful experience & one I would not wish on my worst enemy. Who would ever of
thought such things would ever happen in Australia?

Kindest regards,

Ken.

Ken said i could post this message so the word would get out well here's what he says, it says it all.

Dear Douglas,

Thankyou for your support. Yes, it would be a good idea to let others know what is going on, it may just save them from being the next victim. I intend to go through what is left as soon as time permits, & see what I can legally sell (under NSW law), & post a revised list on the web site. This may also take a few days or even a week, as we are still flat out gathering stuff for our defence.

Kindest regards,

Ken.

I suppose the best way we can help is to buy what he can sell.

Any other Ideas on how to support Ken?
