YouTuber CRS Firearms Found GUILTY

[Biggie_Chan]

Judge refused to instruct the jury about whether the autokey cards where machine guns or not. The ATF agents testified they only got 1 out of 3 to somewhat successfully function as machine guns, after jamming it into the FCG to cause hammer follow (which you could do with almost any piece of metal).

Matt was convicted of illegally transferring 4 machine guns but was only an advertiser, and one count of conspiracy (which is based on fundraising for the defense of the other guy). And they are holding him without bond now because the prosecutor said they felt personally threatened by him.


What an absolute joke.

I don't watch videos about topics like this --they usually full of BS and propaganda.

But, does anybody on ODT know what the real story is?

Certainly this guy had to do more than just sell unfinished pieces of metal that had a blueprint, technical drawing, or template of a "drop in auto sear" (DIAS) printed on that sheet metal .

At the most maybe you could call it a 33% complete drop in Auto-Sear:
the purchaser of such a card would have to cut it out out, then bend the sear, and then put it into an AR 15 --and only certain types of AR's --older models, usually--would accept it to make a full-auto.

My understanding is that he didn't even sell the unfinished pieces of metal.
The whole case sounds like he was targeted and they were going to get him, no matter what.

Well, that ain't right. The NFA is a tax law and like many other laws it requires the government to prove a specific intent in order to get a conviction-- in this case the intent is to have an NFA restricted weapon in violation of the federal laws meaning you're trying to avoid paying the tax on it or trying to avoid doing the paperwork for it.

Furthermore in one of the most famous and often-cited Supreme Court cases in history, the highest court in the land said that in order for a conviction to be upheld on appeal the State must've proved every single element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt (to any fair-minded juror.)

(Jackson . Virginia, 1979).

I don’t agree with that.
Citizens shouldn’t be viewed as potential enemies of the State for any perceived “wrong” done against the government.
They are supposed to work for us, not use targeted prosecution to bring down the full force of law on us.
