Wandered over to The War On Guns and found this, article he links to here.
The federal government allegedly suppressed evidence and edited a legal definition in a Wisconsin case against a man who ultimately was convicted of transferring a machine gun, according to an appeal document.
Considering some of the crap that's turned up in prosecutions over the years, I don't doubt it. And yeah, it should get him a new trial.
WoG also notes the current "We want more power to screw people over" power grab by BATFE, this one "We say that doing almost anything to a firearm makes you a manufacturer." Which is purely, from what I can see, being thrown out as a way to make it as difficult as possible for people to stay within the law, thus giving BATFE a way to find someone guilty of something when they want to mess with them.
As someone once said, just Damn!
