Patrick Tate Adamiak is an American man and former Navy sailor serving 20 years in federal prison for owning and selling illegal firearms.[1][2] Adamiak was indicted in 2022 after special agents from the ATF recovered machine guns, two grenade launchers, and two inert anti-tank missile launchers in his possession. A jury found Adamiak guilty of three counts of receiving and possessing an unregistered firearm, and one count of unlawful possession and transfer of a machine gun.[3]
The case has been cited by critics as evidence of federal overreach by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.[4]
