Not sure, but it sounds like his self defense was an attempt to ultimately get a mistrialA man who represents himself, has a fool for a client
In most instances, courts do not view defendants failure to adequately represent themselves as grounds for a mistrial. In the case of Godinez v. Moran (1993), SCOTUS ruled that the same standard applied to stand trial and competence to represent oneself. While the courts may require an otherwise competent defendant proceed to trial with the assistance of counsel as ruled by SCOTUS in the case of Indiana v. Edwards (2008), this is not typically an issue that is pushed unless the individual is presenting a very poor defense or shows some evidence of mental impairment. Even in the case of the LIRR shooter, Colin Ferguson, he was permitted to act pro se and mounted a very convoluted and irrational defense.Not sure, but it sounds like his self defense was an attempt to ultimately get a mistrial

Guys like this give us all a bad name.
Anyone else notice the article was actually non biased and factual in nature? After reading, all I could think was where the hell did this article come from? Salt Lake Tribune, so go figure...
Wondering exactly what was the part?
Don't read the comments...
“In an email to a customer shown in court, Bishop wrote “I read the gun control act quite a bit different than other people.”

Lightning LinkProbably something like this.
Pull shit like this and you earn a visit to Pound you in the Bum Federal Prison.
No sympathy
The RAW Materials Kit includes the following: Non-completed material necessary to make a Bolt Carrier Group Counter Weight and detailed instructions for bending, drilling, and installing the completed part. The material is cut to the correct shape necessary to make the part, but is left unbent and undrilled, and thus is simply a flat piece of metal.
When asked if he could have sold the kit to a felon, child, mentally ill person or undocumented immigrants, Bishop said it was possible.
“Mr. Bishop flooded our country with illegal machine guns,” Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Drew Yeates told the jury. “Find him guilty.”
oh, the humanity!!! When at least one f***ing ATF agent goes to prison for Fast Furious, this is horseshit.
From what I could find it was not even close to lightening link, not that lightening link probably won't work with your AR anyways (google to find out why)
so basically the guy got jammed up for selling a piece of f***ing aluminum that could be turned into something FA.
at the same rate, selling a Coke can is the same thing, because you can jam an Ali shim under your sear and make your AK temporarily "full auto."
This is not what he was selling, apparently it's what you can bend that piece of aluminum strip into, he literally sold that flat aluminum strip, completely flat, no holes. How is this different from "80% receivers"? It's not, get a clue comrades. And no, this is not mine, just found a pic from barfcom.
From the article:
I am f***ing speechless ... so selling this shit to an illegal is bad, but illegal is "undocumented immigrant". This reminds me one Russian anecdote: madam walks onto a priest f***ing a whore as she says: "father, would you mind puting your pants on or taking your cross off?"
