Pathetic what happened to this guy. Miserable state of affairs this country is becoming.
Sad news indeed. This is the very definition of a miscarriage of justice. If you want to make a financial contribution to help his family while he is in jail, go here: http://gunowners.org/olofson.htm

How did he get caught in the first place? Can't you just blame it on fast fingers?
Nothing for nothing, but he built ARs with a burst selection. Even if it jammed when using that selection, he built it with that selection available and knew
that when placed in that position it would fire 3 rounds.
Do I believe that he is guilty from the above? Yes. If someone on here built that gun would you buy it without a stamp and shoot it in front of an ATF officer?
If it wouldn't have had that selector switch I would say it was a travesty of justice. But it did.

The gun was malfunctioning. What part of that do you not understand? Someone would have been hurt testing this thing. It was not a machine gun, if you actually believe it was a machine gun then you are just as moronic as the ATF
^^this is what I read on GOA webpage.^^ A neighbor was borrowing the OA gun when it malfunctioned. The atf did 2 stress test until it malfunctioned. Prayers for the family. The dude is a vet...horribly

Just my 2¢
In my opinion, the ATF is an out of control agency, which should be abolished. Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be a chain of supermarkets, not a federal agency.
That said, according to the Olofson affidavit, which can be seen here:
- The rifle had a 3-position selector installed
- Olofson specifically told the guy to whom he loaned the rifle not to use the 3rd position at the public range
- ATF tested it 3 times in the 3rd position, and in all 3 tests it fired 20 rounds full-auto
- Olofson had been illegally using someone else's FFL number
I am not defending the ATF in any way. However, from all unbiased accounts I've read about the Olofson case, he was not squeaky-clean either.

wow if this is the case. why is it the big news peoples aren't talking about the real story? all I've seen is the malfunction story - even on cnn iirc. seems like a lot of folks would like to jump on this to clarify and make gun owners look like bg's.
