I didnt see anything in the article that indicated the AFT agent lied, rigged the test, refused to let a defense witness examine the rife, refused to disclose official documents, etc....
dk..is there an official court transcript or is this just the ramblings on gun and militia movement blogs?
I did see in the article that records indicated that Olofson allegedly
"had provided weapons and ammunition to so many people he couldn't keep track. A search of his home turned up books on converting rifles to fully automatic, and e-mail on his computer showed he bought M-16 parts" ....and that "Olofson had contact with vigilante groups and professed to be part of the sovereign movement, which doesn't acknowledge federal laws as applying to them"
Why should I be sickened that some anti-government vigilante militia guy got caught breaking the law?
