John, your first mistake is saying “he” did. He didn’t… his lawyer did. I got fired on a misdemeanor years ago because I was stupid enough to believe a lawyer knew when he was doing and I followed his advice.

The BATF&E made the case complicated. It was actually very simple. Olympic Arms sold some defective firearms. They admitted their mistake and sent out a recall. Mr. Olofson loaned the firearm to someone and it fired a three round burst. The judge would not allow his attorney to submit the letter of recall into evidence. BATF&E tested the firearm and it WOULD NOT go full auto. The rifle was sent back to the lab where they kept trying and kicking up the load until it finally doubled…. ONCE.

There should never have been a case. The manufacturer had admitted the firearm was defective from the factory and the BATF&E and the judge railroaded the man.
