Tonight I received an email with some very disturbing news in it from a good friend of mine, Bob Rich from The Bob Rich Shooting Journal in Connecticut.  Below is the email he sent me.

This is a must see if you are not aware of it, you’ll have to site through a short commercial first. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2008/03/13/ldt.tucker.govt.guns.cnn
This guy’s AR-15 malfunctioned on the range firing a couple of double bursts after firing 800 rounds without a problem. Someone reported it, his guns were all confiscated (they are all legal) and he was convicted of having a machinegun! This guy is a vet and his damn gun malfunctioned. Now he will likely go to jail. I haven’t heard the follow-up but something must be done about this. Does anyone have any more info? We need to not let this guy just disappear into prison or anyone with a malfunctioning 10/22 could be next! This is government out of control, and this is why we have a 2nd amendment
