From
David R. Olofson (via
Len Savage):
Now a while back I promised to show everyone how deep this rabbit hole is and let them see the whole story. As such I am releasing a number of witness accounts. Most have nothing to lose or gain from speaking up other than the fact they make themselves a target of the feds. These will be released one at a time over the next few days. Draw your own conclusions about who has been telling the truth through this, who has been full of BS, and who is out of control. Now with no further ado here is the beginning of the rest of the story from those who lived it.
This is bad ju-ju.
ReplyDeleteATF reform can't happen fast enough.
Read the trial transcript. Len did a fantastic job.

part two and three are the meat of it.
ReplyDeleteDavid, we already know who is full of shit. It ain't Olofson.
ReplyDeleteThis is all fine and dandy in our Second Amendment world. However in the government world this gun by what was giving as evidence to the federal judge is altogether different.
ReplyDeleteThe judge ruled that there was no possession of this firearm until it was giving to use without any quid pro quo to be used as a firearm for enjoyment.
The real question is: When did the the firearm in question become a full auto? Clearly it wasn't during possession so when was it a MG?
So did the Feds install another selector w/mods for full-auto and then lie about it?
ReplyDeleteI just had the sick little feeling that this whole nightmare will spell an end to peaceful events like Knob Creek. The BATFU's essential assertion is that no transfer is legal without the paperwork, and that allowing someone else to borrow a full auto weapon at the range constitutes a transfer.
ReplyDeleteWe are all royally hosed by this, doubly so if we ever were allowed to shoot a full auto weapon.
This can work both ways! I guarantee that I can get any BATFE semiauto service pistol to double tap any time I want.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Judges ruling and the bureaus own ridiculous FTB they are in possesion of an unregistered MG and should be procescuted to the full extent of the law.
Throw their sorry Asses in front of the same judge.
He would let them go, anon. This wasn't about the law or justice.
