The weapon malfunctioned when the man lent it to a friend. The weapon was never converted illegally to full-auto. Now the man has all his weapons taken, is out of the military, and will likely never be able to own a weapon again.

No you've got it all wrong...you are dreaming again.....YOU say the weapon "malfunctioned"....the defense lawyers I'm sure say the weapon "malfunctioned".
Tell us gun nuts...what is your LEGAL argument that the CONVICTION was in Error????????????????
Sorry to break up your fantasy gun nuts but there is more to this story
Milwaukee Journal
"This was a man who has considerable knowledge of weapons, considerable knowledge of machine guns," Clevert said. "Mr. Olofson, in this court's view, has shown he was ignoring the law."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Haanstad noted that Olofson had two previous gun-related convictions, including carrying a concealed weapon with his children trick-or-treating. He also noted that Olofson was reprimanded for corrupting Army computers and perhaps providing militia groups access to sensitive information.

Kiernicki testified Olofson told him the third position was for automatic firing, but it jammed, court records indicate. He also testified Olofson told him he had fired the weapon on the automatic setting at that same range without a problem, according to the records.
Olofson contended an ATF document showed that the company that made his AR-15 used M-16 automatic parts in some of them, including his, which would explain that it malfunctioned. Clevert reviewed the document and found it wouldn't exonerate Olofson.
Clevert said the key was not what parts were in the weapon but whether it operated in automatic mode. He played a video used at trial showing ATF agents firing Olofson's weapon in automatic mode. He also noted that in one ATF test, the rifle didn't fire automatically when military-grade ammunition was used.
Haanstad said Olofson 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, records show.

It's a semi auto weapon, period. NOTHING illegal about that.
