Per David R. Olofson:
This one only reinforces what the others on the range said, the next 2 will bring up further allegations of increasing severity. I’m trying to convince one of my other neighbors to do one on when they dropped me off after the raid. If he does it would prove perjury on the part of the ATF at a motion hearing. But he is pretty scared right now so I’m not sure if #8 will ever get done, but at least we have these 7 if anything.

A very sad day in America when a man is so fearful of government agents that he is afraid to make a statement under oath for a court. Then to add to it this is a friend and neighbor of a man needing this statement to hopefully stay out of federal prison.
If there are some older guys here I'm sure they remember the TV show back in the 50's, Car 54 Where Are You? Kind of like congress, where are you?
I just deleted a comment, not because it was "bad," but because it was irrelevant to this post. Please keep comments on topic. If you have a link to another story you'd like me to feature, please send it to me via email to dcodreaAThotmailDOTcom and I'll consider it.
I see a lot of sites where the thread gets derailed and don't want that to happen here.
"That he has neither the tools, skills or blueprints to make such a conversion."
So POTENTIALLY being able to do a little machining/home gunsmithing makes one a criminal now? That would only take in a few tens of millions of us.
How Soviet.
Uh, feds, I can't drive a nail straight, and I barely know how to sharpen a knife, OK?
OH defender, you are WRONG. You probably DO have the skills needed.
Drop all the guts of a 10/22 trigger group out, yank the bolt back and guess what you've got.
What do you have when the government does not fear the people?
You know what they say about a true friend, that he will not bail you out of jail, someone else will have to bail the both of you out. A friend or even an aquantance of mine would never have to worry about getting me to make a sworn statement, unless of course I had something illegal to worry about.
I just read something over at "snowflakes in hell" that makes me want to give a little more thought on my last post. What he is saying is not something I've read, previously, in any of these various post on the Olofson case. It seems there is actually two sides to every story, even in this case. I am not sure we have been getting all of the story, no matter how much we might want to blast the B.A.T.F.E., even when they deserve it. I am going to hold off on further comments I think until the whole picture comes out. If it ever does.
Looks like somebody at NRA legal dept. wants to throw cold water on this & they're using this guy as the conduit to do that & keep their hands clean.
I read the Snowflakes in Hell piece.
Sounds like Mr. Olofson was doing what I recommend for us all: simply living free. It's just that such minor things were never prison fodder before.
I guarantee that at least a third of our current presidential candidates have nastier skeletons in THEIR closets, things that have intentionally hurt people. Yet they have the support of millions. Ironic, isn't it?
I'm sure BATFE is thoroughly familiar with the kinds of cases in which NRA will and will not involve itself, and chose to go to the lengths it did in the Olofson case accordingly. On the basis of the information available, it's a miscarriage of justice, and more than that -- it's a message pour encourager les autres (les autres would be gunowners and patriots). "See what we can do, if, as, and when we decide we want to?"
I haven't read the SIH piece. I don't need to. I already know his bent.
I would not let him at my back, under any circumstances. Unlike a friend of mine with whom I disagree most virulently on most political issues. The difference is the presence of honor, or not.
At least, that's my opinion, and I'm still alive despite many attempts to correct that oversight.
In fairness, he is afraid of me. Conversation scares him. No, NO Really NO! I don't know why. But I believed him when he said it.
being scared should make one angry. Don't know about the testosterone level of his neighbor, but I suspect he hasn't fathered any children.
Nasty, uh huh! tired of people who let fear rule them. Hell, I been scared,not enough to curl up and beg.
I have read everything I can get my hands on. Transcripts, ar15.com thread, (yes, all 78 or so pages), and have read everything else I can find on this case.
It's complete BS. There is no way, even if the gun had all 4 parts, supposedly put in by Olofson, that the jury should have convicted him. There is so much reasonable doubt, and I'm talking real reasonable doubt, not just a mere scintilla, or a preponderance, but *everything* I've read, I would still come down on David's side.
The ATF and the AUSA made this into a witch hunt, and the Judge went along for the ride. It sickens me. I can't wait to see this on appeal, and I just hope and pray that the next judge that hears this does the right thing, and actually follows the rules of evidence, criminal procedure, and appellate procedure.
