I also heard of another case years and years back where that agency had a track record of prosecuting people with AR15's as machineguns, where the helpful agents actually replaced the firing pins of the defendants/victims' rifles with heavy, weighted firing pins to induce a constant slam-fire, and lubed their BCG's with some super-slick compound, resulting in a striker-fired machinegun. The particular agent(s) even bragged about how well it bolstered their careers, getting them quick promotions and accelerated trajectories towards the upper stratosphere of management. Juries had no clue what evidence they were being shown, and trusted that these were honorable, trustworthy professionals providing expert testimony on deviously-errant citizens who knowingly violated the law with full intent to manufacture a device for killing scores of innocents.
This is no area to play around with, and in a best-case scenario, will involve temporary incarceration, massive bail fees if eligible, and tens of thousands in legal fees for a competent defense team that specializes in firearms/Constitutional Law. If, by some chance you are found innocent, you will be on said agency's target list for illuminating their incompetence, malice, and disregard for the law...and they will want vengeance. Those who treat others in this manner HATE it when the light is shone upon their true deeds. The Gunrunner Scandal is a perfect example of this, but in that ball of wax, a Border Patrol Agent lost his life with the offending agency's role as an accessory to murder. DOJ is squirming to avoid any more publicity with that case.
