The case is being pushed in the national media as an 80% receiver manufacturing case.
Generally no mention of the prohibited possessor charges.
IMHO, this is being used to scare off machine shop owners from setting up tool rentals for people with 80% receivers. The man was a prohibited possessor, so they had him on that. It is probably why he did a plea bargain rather than go to a jury trial.

If I may, this is a yet another case of govt overreach; the only ‘prohibited possessor’ are those in PRISON (IE: This is no valid\Constitutional ‘gun control law’).
It’s another flexing of govt muscle, another Randy Weaver, Waco, Bundy, EPA, BLM, BTAF ‘exercise’.
He was ignorant to not go w/ a jury trial (though, I’m sure the “judge’s orders” would have been another kangaroo court).
