I've only been to this blog a couple times and haven't posted any replies, but I thought this story interesting. This kind of thing provokes a backlash. A good example of the activity that this kind of thing has already started spurring is the Second Amendment March set for next spring. I hope it's ok to post--here is the website if anyone wants to see. http://secondamendmentmarch.com Hi.

If they thought he deserved jail time for not fixing the malfunction because, they should charge him with that, if they can, and not warp the law to suit themselves. Definitely something warped here.

The idea that your gun can be defined by a malfunction is just wrong. Even if he knew about it and didn't fix it, it still doesn't make it a full-auto rifle. If I take my Blazer around the Indy speedway and for some reason it shoots to 180 mph (Ha!), that doesn't mean it's now and Indy car and is suddenly not street legal. As for WND, I generally take them with a grain of salt, too. I had seen posts that Olofson knew about it, but like all things interwebz, took them with a grain of salt.

Most notably, they neglected to mention that Olofson knew the gun would go FA and never bothered to try and get it fixed. Worse, he lent it to someone else being aware of its broken condition, and even told them what it would do. That makes him guilty of owning and transferring a FA machinegun. IMO it should not be against the law for this guy to have or transfer a FA gun, but it is and he broke that law. That was a colossally stupid choice on his part. If he had taken the gun in for repairs when he discovered the problem, he'd be a free man. This is the same kind of colossally stupid crap that got the ball rolling with Weaver's troubles. That said, I think you and Steve are both right on the money with your comments. The precedent this will set in case law will be that the .gov does not need to supply evidence in a trial so long as the judge is on their side, and that's some seriously scary sh--. I also agree that the BATFE needs to be undone and has no business existing in the first place. But the fact we disagree with a law or an agency means we need to work to change it, using the proper methods. Because once you slip up they've got you - and they always make sure their cell monkeys aren't able to be effective.

The ATF needs to be gutted. I'm sure they've saved countless lives by harassing gun dealers over the years. "Oh, I'm sorry, you have the county abbreviated here, you can't sell guns anymore." A government agency that continually works to violate the constitutional rights of citizens has no business even being in existence. That whole case stinks like a pig farm.
