How about the guy convicted due to his AR's malfunction?

the part I don't get is why would you build it, hand it to someone else and say "here go to the range with an obviously illegally modified weapon and shoot it"..

though I agree it is a stupid law, it obviously attracted a stupid person. his ignorance is shown in his coarse of action.

how it works

yet the very law was a violation of the constitution and BoR, and is thus null and void

just another innocent mans life ruined by an over reaching federal agency and unconstitutional laws

As to the constitutionality of the law, per the Constitution, that decision belongs to the Supreme Court. Individuals may be of the opinion that the Supreme Court ought to rule this law unconstitutional. Given standing, they may even petition the court to do so. It has not done so, to date. It has, however, offered a few rulings on gun-related matters lately.

As to the man's innocence, per the Constitution, that decision rested with a jury of his peers, which determined that he was quite the opposite. Individuals may be of the opinion that the jury erred, but these individuals generally cannot do much about that other than contribute to his defense fund if he seeks redress.

As to the federal agency, it was fulfilling its mandate: enforcing the laws for which it is responsible as those laws stand.

Since this is already a very old topic and we're just rehashing what's already happened, I think maniak's post is a good place to stop. I think he's pretty much captured what has happened here.
