Jury returns guilty verdicts in Kansas gun case
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) A jury has found two Kansas men guilty of federal firearms violations in a case that repudiates a Kansas law that purports to prevent federal prosecution of anyone owning firearms made, sold and kept in the state.
A jury Monday evening convicted Shane Cox in eight counts for illegally making and marketing firearms. They found Cox not guilty in two other counts involving possession of a destructive device. Kettler was found guilty on one count for the purchase of a gun silencer from him.
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten told jurors the case would likely be appealed because of the issues involved with the state law. Marten says he cant change the law at this level, but he anticipated the U.S. Supreme Court might eventually review the case because the issues are this important.

These guys were making suppressors (aka silencers which really don't silence and only serve the purpose of making your gun longer--apparently a big deal for some gunners) and 'ghost guns' (guns without serial numbers). Because guns are so special Kansas passed a law saying that any gun made, trafficed and kept withing the state was exempt from federal law. Seems people with functioning brains disagree.
