True, but the whole point of a plea deal is that the defense attorney realizes that the prosecutor can prove certain things in court easily. To keep from getting an "average" sentence he has his client plead guilty for much less. It is likely he could have proved more.
If the defense thinks they can win in court they will go to court.

Were they convicted on the NFA violations? One article doesn't even mention those.

They weren't convicted of anything. They pleaded guilty to avoid further prosecution. And yes it was a NFA violation:

You are correct, it is semantics in my mind.

Yeah, you don't want to mess around with NFA violations! That law has teeth and the general public is not very supportive of "dangerous and unusual" firearms.

Precision in language is very important when dealing with the law. Law does not lend itself well to "close enough" uses of language, in the way that conversational language does. I believe it was Mark Twain who once said, "the difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning."

The cane gun was not the only offense. There were numerous potential charges, including NFA violations and knowingly providing guns to felons. I'm not sure why they didn't go harder after the latter.
