Orlando resident Lawrence Michael DeStefano is 65-year-old, has no criminal record and reveres the Second Amendment more than nearly anything else.
DeStefano’s website, Indie Guns, is still active, at least for now, even though he cannot fill any orders. The site contains his business motto, which is simple but very true: “Guns are Normal and Normal People Build Guns.”
DeStefano has been held without bond in the Orange County Jail for nearly 90 days, awaiting a trip to New York’s infamous Rikers Island—a violent 400-acre prison island in the East River near the Bronx—from which he may never return.
“I am in jail for telling the truth. I was one of the largest dealers of self-built arms. I hate the term ghost guns,” he said last week on a jail telephone.
DeStefano’s firm was one of 10 self-built arms dealers targeted by New York State Attorney General Leticia James, because they allegedly shipped gun kits to New York.
“She made a deal with the other companies,” DeStefano said. “They turned over all their customer data. I have more than 50,000 customers just in New York. My attorney even told me to turn over all my customer data, but I thought this isn’t about me. I am going to fight this.”
