A drill instructor in the National Guard has been convicted in a Wisconsin federal court of illegally transferring a machine gun after a rifle he loaned to a student malfunctioned, setting off three shots before jamming.

The NAZI are in command. And there is nothing we can do except if we are on a jury to stick in in their ear and find them guilty and not the person who they have violated the Constitutional Rights of.
I wish my new 1911 would permanetly jam and fire more than one bullet at a time.
No Romney male, since at least 1830 has ever served in the military. At all.
Plus, the guy went to Harvard.
So, culturally, and legally, he has been anti American with our God given rights to own firearms.

My AK has done it a few times.

My Olympic arms AR-15 did this often, until I learned how to clean it real good and replaced a few key parts.
1. Keep your firearms in good shape.
2. Do not "loan" out guns.
3. Cops are not sympathetic.
4. Do not shoot at a range unless you have too and then check who is around for both safety and police presence. I avoid the range because most of the people there are idiots and I do not want to be around them.
Unless the basic justice system has changed you must have intent. A good lawyer or a pro se could argue that and use the recall in their favor. Screw the ATF tests. Demand independent tests and grill the "tester" endlessly on the stand.
What’s he doing loaning out Guard equipment to students?.....
This should thrill “W” considering the administration’s amicus brief in the D.C. gun ban case before the Supreme Court.
Wth??? Why did you bring Mitt Romney into this thread? So, an overzealous prosecutor and bureaucrat in ATF with more time on their hands than good sense is somehow twisted into an attack on Mitt Romney? Whatever did he do to deserve this?
Lastly, why not place the blame on the Democrats and those gun grabbers who are explicitly and actively trying to remove guns from the citizenry?
Bias is one thing; moronic bias another.
If only we were a notion of LAWS, not of men. Or at least not of BATF Goons! Booze, sex, guns, and sin...the Demoncrats are gonna win! Alas.
For the most part, everyone is very safety conscious and respectful. However, every now and then we get a few guys that we give a very wide berth to and I’ll have to watch them like a hawk.
These are the guys that are practicing quick draws with their pistols and doing roll and shoots like the movies. They practice emptying their magazine as quickly as possible. And yes, in most every case these guys are cops.
Mittens is ruining for the executive office. He’s never gone to bat for gun owners, or anyone else for that matter.
Take the instance of the decorated US Army Lieutenant that wanted to be a police officer in Massachusetts. He shot his friend, harmlessly, with a BB gun when he was 11 and was charged. Mittens wouldn’t give him a pardon. Too risky for the prissy.
"Doubling" has been known since the first semiautomatics appeared over a century ago. Up until the mid-80s, ATF's written policy on doubling was "see your gunsmith". Then it changed to "contact your local ATF [as it was known then] office for further instructions." What was once either a maintenance problem, or a design flaw in a model they themselves approved, instead was used for self-incrimination.
Ever since the 1968 Gun Control Act, liberals have enabled BATFE to define their own rules, and their own secret test procedures. The gun grabbers asked for that, so they could redefine at their whim (and often in contraction to their own earlier policies) whatever it takes to get a conviction. The politicians are only too happy to provide, judges and juries are browbeaten into believing this is American "justice" at work. And most defense attorneys don't have the experience or the guts to challenge it.
Plus, the client can't spend the millions to beat the rap. Often BATFE is just the farm team, developing snitches for the FBI. Before it goes to trial, the defendant is offered the "opportunity" to work with the FBI in infiltrating some very nasty group that is too dangerous for our "professional experts" to deal with. Certain hard federal time vs. the chance of maybe surviving your work as a snitch, that's what's offered.
How do I know this? Because my friend of 30 years, who had a Class III FFL until the Clintons ordered BATFE to put 90% of FFL holders out of business, was told so by BATFE agents. He said it was amazing how much they'd open up during their biannual inspections if plied them with coffee and donuts while they blasted away with his inventory using his ammo as they "inspected" the merchandise somewhere out in the boondocks. He made sure they left happy, and he was never hassled until the letter came that said his license renewal was denied.
And all of this is why I use a titanium firing pin in my AR15. I know all about soft commercial primers. If they're in a bad mood, BATFE will even claim that the shallowest indentation on an unfired primer is proof that you have an illegal automatic weapon.
Worst.
Sentence.
Ever.
This should be struck down as having a “chilling effect” on our 2nd Amendment rights.
Oh, that’s right - that was the intended effect.
I advise any interested parties to order a military style rifle this year. Who knows what’ll be available shortly after 1/2009? I’m vacillating between an AR style and piston operated myself. I’d like both 5.56 mm and 6.5 mm capability. The new Masada rifle looks interesting, as does the XCR.
Sadly, any of the interesting options will start at about $2K including optics. I guess making sure it never malfunctions has become a bit more of a priority. :-P
