Actually....No It could not have been my family....Because I don't do stupid Sh*t like hang out at the Arian Nations Church or Agree to cut down shotguns to illegal barrel lengths (No matter how much I disagree with that law.)

actually, he cut the barrel to just over the legal lentgh, but the ATF had ensured that the stock was already cut off so that the overall lentgh ended up being a fraction of an inch under the legal total overall lentgh for a shotgun. Hell I didn't even know there was an overall lentgh untill I read the deatils of this case. I knew what the legal barrel lentgh was, but ahd no clue there was an overall restriction.... did you?
I do not associate with organizations who have in the Past supported and been funded by Armored Car Robberies, Like The Arian Nations Church, that Randy Weaver Hung out at.
Because of this I do not have to worry, as to if my family will be dragged down onto the suicidal funeral prye with me.

Now no, 10 years from now when the anti gun forces are so powerfull and in charge that just posting here will make you an enemy and criminal in thier eyes.
It is not illegal to associate with any group so long as you yourself violate no laws. When we start condemming people to death because thier views are unpopular with us then we have signed our own death warrants as gun owners.
The government targeted the man because he had attentended a few meetings of a group they didn't like. They then pressured him for 2 years to commit an illegal act soley for the purpose of forcing him to work for them. He thought he was cutting above the legal limit but was unaware of the overall lentgh restriction. The government then changed his court date, didn't notify him, and swore an arrest warrant when he didn't show up. By this point I wouldn't trust them either.
The point here is that no matter what a person may beleive, he is an American and no American should be persecuted or targeted for nothing more than thier beliefs. Today people like you feel it is okay to target someone because they went into an unpopular church, whats next, target gunshow attendees.
And when those who enforce the laws think that a persons beliefs justify targeting them for stings, entrapment, and even thier death, we have lost this nation.
