United States v. Olofson
''United States v. Olofson'', 563 F.3d 652 (2009), is an appellate decision in the case of David Olofson, who was convicted by a jury of knowingly transferring a machine gun in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o) when his AR-15 broke while being used and had an internal malfunction and burst-fired 3–4 rounds then jammed. Olofson was sentenced to thirty months in prison, which he began serving after his appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit failed. The US Supreme Court declined to hear a further appeal. Olofson's case was, for a time, a minor cause célèbre in conservative media and among gun rights advocates, attracting support from, among others, Lou Dobbs of ''CNN'' and from Oath Keepers, and legal assistance from Gun Owners of America.〔http://www.gunowners.com/olofson.htm〕〔Diedrich, John.

==Facts of case and pre-trial proceedings==
On July 13, 2006, US Army Reservist David Olofson of Berlin, Wisconsin, lent an AR-15 rifle to Robert Kiernicki, who took the gun to a local shooting range.〔Diedrich, John. "(Automatic gun transfer nets prison sentence )". ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel''. 14 May 2008. Accessed 4 March 2013.〕〔''United States v. Olofson''. (563 F.3d 652 (2009) ). Opinion of the Court. 1 May 2009. Accessed 4 March 2013.〕 The AR-15 rifle broke while being used and had an internal malfunction and discharged three or four rounds and then jammed; Kiernicki did this several times with the rifle jamming each time.〔〔 Following a telephone complaint of automatic gunfire, Berlin police showed up at the range, and after questioning Kiernicki, confiscated Olofson's AR-15 and contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) about the incident.〔〔
On July 19, 2006, ATF agents, Berlin police officers, and the Green Lake County Sheriff's Department SWAT team carried out a warranted search of Olofson's home.〔''United States v. Olofson''. "(Brief of Appellant )." 25 August 2008. Accessed 6 March 2013.〕 During the course of the search, Olofson spoke with law enforcement officers and acknowledged lending the AR-15 to Kiernicki.〔 At the end of the search no illegal firearms were found.
Olofson was indicted by a federal grand jury on December 5, 2006, on charges of knowingly transferring a machine gun in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o).〔 Shortly before the trial began, Olofson filed an evidentiary motion to compel the prosecution to produce documents concerning the ATF's testing procedures, correspondence between the ATF and the manufacturer of Olofson's AR-15 regarding M-16 parts used in such rifles, and the ATF's registration history of AR-15 rifles containing M-16 parts.〔 The trial court judge denied the motion on the first day of trial, concluding that the information sought was not exculpatory under ''Brady v. Maryland''.〔 According to the testimony of Kiernicki, Olofson's purpose for lending the gun was to sell it to Kiernicki. Kiernicki also testified Olofson knew about the third automatic firing mode, but that it jammed. The prosecution also provided evidence from Olofson's computer with proof of acquiring M-16 parts, which could be used to make an AR-15 automatic, and of Olofson's participation in a group that was described as "vigilante" according to U.S. Assistant Attorney Gergory Haanstad.〔
