The ATF has a long history of coming down hard on anyone with an unregistered machine gun. If the prosecutors agreed to a plea like this one, they clearly didn't have much, if any real case for the unregistered machine guns.
They have produced tens of thousands of firearms, it's hard to imagine that some would not be lost, or stolen.
News coverage of the details of this case has been terrible. No different than most newscasts where ignorant people talk about things they know nothing about. As near as I've been able to find out, Stag (which legally manufacturers automatic weapons for the police and military) had a batch of lower receivers that had been machined but not serial numbered, sitting ahead of the stamping machine that marks the serial numbers. These were the "unregistered machine guns".
I have some old muffler tubing and some fender washers in my shop. According to F-troop gurus I'm illegally manufacturing "silencers".
They shouldn't lose any, 200 or 300 is not acceptable.
Also from the article:
Grow up. No one and nothing is perfect, the US government has a far greater loss rate than that but I don't see you or any other anti gun nut liberal supporting action against Obama. Police across the country lose hundreds of guns a year, better get on your high horse and start a campaign about how that is unacceptable too.
Funny how liberals always expect perfection and start foaming at the mouth when it isn't attained by people they disagree with but will let those they agree with literally get away with murder.

Also from the article:
I deal in machine guns. I have a title III license and I have to submit to periodic inspection of my paperwork by ATF.
Guess what, more often than not, they use my records to correct their records. So ATF looses track of what they are supposedly getting funded by your tax money. Nobody fines them or puts them in jail for loosing track of full auto weapons.
Just curious...how many weapons did Eric Holder lose again?
