Lordofhats, is that you? If the government is doing it it must be right! It wouldn't be a law if it wasn't right, right?
"So, do please come along when we're promoting something new and need photos for the facebook page or to send to our regional manager, do please engage in our gaming when we're pushing something specific hard and need to get the little kiddies drifting past to want to come in an see what all the fuss is about.

What's wrong with them? I know nothing of them.

I think it was in the original IRS thread some time back. As I recall it was about wood of allegedly dubious provenance. The raid took place. There was a threat of legal action, and instead Gibson were given a fine. The feds could not prove that the wood in question was actually obtained unlawfully.

One of many reasons to just dismiss someone else's points without being able to debate against them, it's fine it happens a lot online.

I remember now...
It wasn’t even American law they were supposedly violating, but for supposedly violating the laws of India and Madagascar, which came as something of a surprise to authorities in India and Madagascar if I remember correctly .
The biggest thing that got me was that the folks at Gibson were never allowed to see the sealed warrant that authorized the raid. Took quite some time to get that unsealed. Why even seal it in the first place? EDIT: actually, it's still sealed AFAIK, which makes all of this dubious.
Bah... getting side-tracked...
Can "sanity" ever be in any vernacular during a Gun Debate?

See, it'd be one thing to argue that a law is wrong, because then that (hopefully) leads to a sensible response based around legal means to change the law.
But instead our new poster is arguing that government is actually ignoring the law. I have no idea if this is because he is unaware of the laws in question that government was looking to enforce, or if we're going to end up with one of those truly wonderful round trips in to constitutional gobbledigook that ends up talking about free citizens and how government can't charge income tax, but either way it leads to a conclusion that armed resistance is needed.

Just hypothetically, how did you think international trade deals work? Do you actually think that countries in those deals are just completely indifferent to breaches of their trading partner's laws?

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.
Mexico has extremely strict gun laws, as does Guatamala, Ecuador, and El Salvador. They also have the highest murder rates in the world, so much so that their children are flooding the US as refugees. Brazil also has strict gun laws and has a joyously high crime rate. Its almost like different countries are each unique...
Argentina has strict controls on who can play Evita, and sing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina."
