The jurors informed the Honorable Judge Leonard that they acquitted Mr. Friesen on the single charge of lying about the safe in his office but they were hopelessly deadlocked on on the remaining charges, apparently, 7 to 5...This means that the Government can decided to re-try the case, minus the lying about the safe in his office charge, or allow the mistrial to stand.The case is US v. Friesen. I touched on it here, specifically the expert conclusion on NFRTR unreliability for criminal prosecutions.
Len Savage was retained as an expert witness in this case. Naturally he cannot reveal any privileged information he had access to, but we should be able to get some good insights as details are made public. And naturally, WarOnGuns will post more as it becomes available.

I know, let's get rid of the NFR! and all associated laws. If such a miracle ever happened, I wonder which states would treat machine guns the same as all other guns? I believe there is some case law on this. In Florida, for example I think it has been settled that the state can not register them or ban possession. And also which states have just not bothered to ban them because of federal bans.
