That was back in 1999. Things have changed for the better, hopefully.

Re: Constructive possession of an SBR is real btw
The Thompson Center case basically found that if you have a legal configuration to assemble it into, it isn't a SBR. He didn't have another legal configuration to use. If you have a SBR or pistol lower, you can have uppers shorter than 16". Because you can legally use it. When you have a rifle only and SBR uppers, you run into trouble. Either keep a pistol, SBR or stripped lower sitting around and you are in the clear as per the Thompson Center case.

This is court text from the appeal. I don't think he appealed the MG charge.QuangTri wrote: ↑February 27th, 2023, 2:42 pmSo where was this "machine gun" he was allegedly in possession of?MarkItZero wrote: ↑February 26th, 2023, 10:34 am https://casetext.com/case/us-v-kent-18

If they could have proved the MG was legal, he would have skated on the constructive possession.
