Although I do in part agree with you that he got a raw deal in his trial. Some of what he did intentionally or not was a long standing crime. ATF for decades has said if you have parts of an NFA item you have an NFA item. It is called constructive intent. He did in fact have a receiver for a 4omm grenade launcher. If that is all he had that would have been ok. Even the ATF would acknowledge that fact. But in addition to the receiver he had a 40mm barrel. Some people believe that if you store them separately you are good to go. This is not true and has never been true. The ATF has always pursued charges for constructive intent.
Marking the location for an auto sear pin hole has for many years been something ATF has maintained is constructive intent. Even if it is just with a marker. I'm a bit dubious of this. Given you would have to mill out the pocket for the auto sear. Not to mention just possessing an auto sear is illegal (as of 1981) with out a tax stamp. But ATF has been held this for a very long time. They have gotten convictions on this and so it has precedent. As far as I can tell this dates back to the 80s.
The demilling rule for 3 cuts with a torch, dates back to 2003. That would be during the Bush administration. source www.atf.gov/firearms/machinegun-destruction. Any improperly de-milled machine gun is a machine gun still.
All of this is a long winded way of saying that his hands were not clean and at least some of the charges were completely predictable. Now NONE of this addresses the wider questions about the constitutionality of the laws. I for what it's worth think the 200$ tax stamp and 86 manufacturing ban are not constitutional. The background check imposed by the NFA likely is constitutional. The NFA's registration requirements are likely also unconstitutional for SBR, SBS, Supressors, and Machine guns. Regulations on AOWs and DDs are likely constitutional. With the possible exception of cannons and mountain guns and their amunition.
