I've never liked this whole story, which I guess is why it is in court. Not saying the guy is guilty, but he does seem like a dumbass. Being a dumbass is not illegal, but dumbasses make for poor heros and test cases.

And hopefully nothing changes. Especially since he knowingly put a full auto LPK in the weapon and even after if "malfunctioned" he lent the weapon out to someone. The guy is an idiot and he played with the systemone too many times.

You got your post edited because you chose to be childish.

What part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" do you not understand? The simple fact that we allow the government to rewrite the United States Constitution and Bill Of Rights is abhorrent and is no excuse to jump on the left wing soundtrack. If the government wouldn't have violated the Second Amendment this would have never happened.

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, Olofson himself isn't even using the "Shall Not Be Infringed" defense.

The guy is a jackoff, self appointed Mr. Helper in the shooting realm. I know these types...

He had several L.E. run ins. He knew what he was doing, and had the balls to come crying on the internuts about how he got shafted over a mechanical failure?

PLEASE!!! Is the law stupid? Yes. But he took the risk when he put FA parts in the gun.

I just never understood why this guy became a media darling? I just find it odd that the press would get behind this guy. I'd rather put resources behind people who used CCW to protect themselves and then have problems with the law or the Katrina confiscation-ees.

Maybe the press reports, eventhough taking his side, have not provided all the detials that would exonerate him. If I was not a gun guy and watched the report I'd have to say that guy was not exactly a white knight in the whole thing.

It is STRANGE!!!

CNN on top of it all!! It was a reverse hit piece.

Here's my conspiracy theory..... stand by.....

CNN wants gun owners to be under the impression that the NRA will do nothing to back up shooters who go up against the Gubment.
