A couple of quick points.
Given the afore mentioned nature of those who appoint the "conferees" I'm not certain that I'd be willing to bet a bunch of money on the happy tidings, for our side, that would come out of this conference committee.
Earlier, re my mention of counter suits, one poster offered that as they were bound to fail, they were wasteful of resources, wording to that effect. What makes you so certain of their failure?
Lastly, respecting what might be expected from "government agencies" JPFO has available, both in tape format as well as on DVD, BATF fails the test, dealing with BATF claims that one John Glover was in possession of an "illegal machinegun", which turned out to be a MALFUNCTIONING FAL TYPE RIFLE. The ATF agent who wrote the original report it seems, had never stripped and carefully inspected the rifle before firing it. Test firings at Charlotte, North Carolina showed multiple roinds fired with one brand of amunution, Winchester commercial loads, out of 4 different makes of ammunition tried. Detail dissembly and post firing inspection showed that the rifle was not in proper mechanical condition. It contained some word and broken parts, which could have contributed to the "automatic fire" accomplished with 1 out of 4 makes of ammunition tried. One would think that a mal functioning rifle does not, a machinegun make, but ATF in the person of Mr. Michael Cooney, their firearms examiner/enforcement agent would have it otherwise.
I understand that all charges were subsequently dismissed against Mr. Glover. Whether or not his property, seized firearms, have been returned to him by BATF, I cannot say. In any event, JPFO is certainly capable of mistakes, and or misconstruing things, but they do not bring criminal charges, with all that such things involve against anyone. BATF can and does, and they also make mistakes. Have they ever so admitted? Not that I've noticed.
