Just remember Olafson [sic] will do more than 2 years in jail for loaning out a gun acknowledged by the ATF as unsafe and malfunctioning in the 1980's while someone selling machine guns to drug dealers got 24 months. Fine state of affairs.Forum posts are typically entered without final edit, so don't hold typos and misspellings against the author--his facts and observations are what matter.

Stroke of an idiot's pen and we're all felons?

Oh we were already felons to these assholes, we just hadn't committed a crime yet
I'd like to thank a local "journalist," who describes a single shot from a semi-automatic rifle as "a burst of gunfire from an assault rifle."
A columnist, his specialty is civil rights. I wonder how much of his expertise to believe in that field also.
He and those like him have sown enough confusion that, yes, we all CAN BE felons for an innocent malfunction.
ATF isn't confused, though. Not at all. They're crafty. They're just EMPOWERED by the confusion and hyped-up fear.
"Two years" and "24 months" are the same period of time. The real crime is that Olofson was railroaded when he should have been acquitted.
Conspicuously absent from both cases is discussion of taxes owed. You'd think that the law was created simply to railroad people into felony convictions. Imagine that.
