The case went before the 7th Circuit for Appeals today. The MP3 of the argument can be had here: http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/tmp/KD10POY2.mp3 (right click - save target as). Basically the 3 judge court will determine if the ATF's definition of automatic applies to what happened to Olofson's AR-15. Olofson's lawyer made a pretty good case that the gun is not automatic since the gun shot multiple rounds with one trigger, but stopped firing without exhausting its ammunition or releasing the trigger. Or that's what I heard in the argument, and i'm obviously biased. Also, I noted that the 3 judge panel did not seem to be very familiar with firearms at all.
From what ar15.com said, an opinion will be released in 2-6 weeks.
