In his plea, Mugge admitted to knowing his possession of the rifle was unlawful.

He had it, he knew he had it, he knew it was illegal; and people think the law should be ignored because he's a "Trooper"?!? What other laws can he ignore? We either have laws, or we do not. If we have laws, they are enforced equally across the board; or we have anarchy. I'd say he made a STUPID decision.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Unlawful, but not unconstitutional?

100% correct. I disagree with the law but it is there.

Or a conscious one, deciding that since the restriction is unconstitutional, it need not be obeyed.

We have many unconstitutional alleged "laws" on the books, and they will almost certainly remain there until enough people challenge them to make them an issue.

If that was his intent, he needs to have a LOT of money to work with, and LOTS of supporters.
