"It didn't matter the rifle in question had not been intentionally modified for select fire, or that it did not have an M16 bolt carrier … that it did not show any signs of machining or drilling, or that that model had even been recalled a few years back," said a commentary in Guns Magazine on the case against Olofson, of Berlin, Wis...

This is absurd.

Beyond belief ...

The only encouraging thing is that an appeal is being prepared.

“An appeal is being assembled by a legal team at the William J. Olson, P.C., law firm, supplemented by attorney Bob Sanders, whose career stretches from being assistant director of criminal investigations at BATFE to many years in private trial law, officials said.

Constitutional expert Herb Titus also is counsel to the Olson law firm.”

How did this incident come to the attention of the BATFE?

The Honorable Charles Clevert

"Judge Charles Clevert has served as a federal district judge in the eastern district of Wisconsin since 1996. Before that, he served for eighteen years as a bankruptcy judge, and before that as an assistant district attorney and assistant U.S. Attorney. He has chaired the American Bar Association's National Conference of Federal Trial Judges and served on the board of the American Judicature Society, and has been active with the Judicial Conference of the United States and the Federal Judicial Center. Judge Clevert was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton. "

Elections have consequences. I hope all the Perot voters are happy that they helped elect Bill Clinton.

Just wait until you see the judges Obama will appoint! So go ahead, stay home, vote third party and help Obama get elected, but just think of the consequences of your actions.

“..”What mattered was the government’s position that none of the above was relevant because ‘[T]here’s no indication it makes any difference under the statute. If you pull the trigger once and it fires more than one round, no matter what the cause it’s a machine gun.’..”

This is the kind of shyster reasoning that makes the Goverment, particularly the BATF, hated.

Let me get this straight....

The feds can find one guy with a malfunctioning firearm, but they can't find 12 million illegal immigrants.

Why is that?
