The informant was eventually accepted into the organization and given the title "sergeant major." In the following weeks, the informant provided agents details of the group's activities.

That will teach you - make them start out as privates...

So the only crime is they made hand grenades and owned weapons. Anybody else find this case alarming? The government is disarming citizens just because they are armed...........

The article states they had no plans to do anything. HHMMMmmmm, yeah, the disarming of Americans continues........

"They stockpile things and live off a fear, a paranoia they're going to need weapons and explosives because some event is going to happen when they will need them."

Yeah, it's called a tyrannical government hell-bent on imposing socialism on the little people. The kind of tyranny that send JBTs out on simultaneous raids in four Alabama counties.

“We classify these groups as violent and anti-government,” said Jim Cavanaugh, who supervises the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operations in portions of the South. “They stockpile things and live off a fear, a paranoia they’re going to need weapons and explosives because some event is going to happen when they will need them.”

Well, are they all anti-government or is the issue really firearms violations?

“It became less popular for someone to rail against America,” Cavanaugh said.

Someone needs to tell Cindy Sheehan, Hollywood and the Democrats about this. Yes , I find it alarming that citizens are being disarmed when there is no evidence of intent to harm.

"Investigators said the DeKalb County-based group had not made any specific threats or devised any plots, but was targeted for swift dismantling because of its heavy firepower"

Unbelievable. I guess they will be coming for me soon. This is really scary stuff - ATF pfffft.

"Six alleged members of the Free Militia also were arrested by federal authorities and are being held without bond."

Hmmmm. They may have to change their name.

Is that fear and paranoia or just good planning?

I had an FBI agent tell me that for any militia group that has more than two members, one of them will be FBI agent.

Since they have NOT Committed any crime how the hell did they get a warrant?

The right to own a weapon is guaranteed by the Constitution so why are the civil rights of these people being violated?

Just think how bad it will be when al-Qaeda takes over and the feds and locals start to round up all Americans under Sharia Law. The beheading(s) will really be on the roll.

“Let that be a lesson” springs to mind.
Watch what you say on your bumper stickers, folks. Watch what you say, period.

Isn't that exactly what the Second Amendment is about?

Is 2500 rounds of ammo considered excessive? Heck, I have that much for my squirrel rifle.

2500 rounds of ammo? That’s not even a good Saturday at the range for the number of people involved.

Maybe we should each register a gun in the name of an illegal alien, or donate one to some La Raza sort of organization, that REALLY wants to overthrow America, and then watch the govt take THEM to the cleaners.

Problem: officious feds with too much time on their hands.
Solution: have the ATF switch job descriptions with ICE.

No Hate group can be bigger than the Federal Gubbermint.

Take that peons! Your mere existance is a threat.

That 2nd Amendment bumper sticker is a dead giveaway to your threatening intentions. Say nothing more.

Although home made bombs are a little different issue unless you are blowing up tree stumps.
And firearm possession by a felon is a no no.

Do you think they watched Jericho?

Anyone with half a brain ought to be shared skitless by this bit or news. Talk about paranoia. This raid and the reasons for it as explained could be a sound basis for wacoparanoia. To know that there are people in powerful places with ideas regarding citizens of the United States of America as enemies of the state, ought to give rise to a renewed vigilance.

Anyone check under the sink or in the garage recently using the governments “bomb making materials” list? Got more than one gun? That my friends is spelled Arsenal. Got more than a box of shells, good for 5 minutes at the range? You are hoarding. So shut up and sing, but don’t let anyone know what goes on behind closed doors.

To say this type of action by “law enforcement” agencies out looking to justify their existence is action against citizens deemed dangerous, could be the very same prohibited profiling needing to be done nation wide against known enemies of the state, but for Constitutional, or rather legal reasons, is not allowed.
