The ATF served a federal search warrant at the Georgia home of the popular Youtuber FPSRussia with the intention of finding explosives on Tuesday. Investigators suspect Kyle Myers, the host of the show, might be violating federal law with what he does, to the delight of many, with explosives on Youtube.
Federal agents, accompanied by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and deputies with surrounding counties, searched Myers’ home along with his father’s 60-acre farm, where the show is filmed, in Carnesville. However, Kitty Wandel, the producer of the show, said that it was just her at the house at the time of the raid since Myers was out of town.
“Both Keith [Ratliff] and Kyle were sticklers for obeying the laws and would not knowingly break any. It is very common for people to use Tannerite in media both on TV and on YouTube.”
“If it ever came to doing something outside of our legal boundaries, we would then work with someone who was legally authorized to do it in an approved location,” she said about handling guns, explosives and equipment.
Under ATF regulations it is illegal to manufacture, sell, distribute, transport or even own explosives without a federal explosives license. However, in the FPSRussia videos Myers uses Tannerite, an explosive civilians can buy, own and use without a license.
Tannerite is legal because it’s labeled as a binary compound, meaning a pre-packaged product consisting of two separate components. This does not fit the ATF’s definition of “Explosives.”
When Guns.com talked to the ATF about this incident the ATF spokesman Richard Coes said he didn’t know why ATF agents suspected Myers of wrongdoing. However, he told local media that “the claim is that he was using explosives and getting paid for it via YouTube.”

Morale of the story.
The cops and the government watch/monitor youtube and facebook.
Be careful what you post.
Did they ever find out who murdered his business’s partner?
Follow-up Pingeroo...
Look for the war on guns to massively escalate.
You know, I sorta wondered if this would happen someday. That dude is a high-profile gun freak who flaunts what he has.
Who’s next, Tom Gresham? Nutnfancy? Hickock45?
You or I? I mean hell, they busted into that kid’s house in NJ because he had a pic of him and a .22 rifle on Facebook.
Chris Kyle?
I like fpsrussia’s videos. Though when he blew up the pickup that was insane - he’s lucky to be alive. They come after Hickock45, it’s on.
Ever notice BATFE only raids places of normal people and harass everday citizens and businesses?
That’s because if they raided real criminals abodes, they would shoot back.
They have to go about doing things to justify their existence but only go for the low hanging fruit.
Cowardly sob’s.
They got to go.

yea, that truck was insane. missed him by inches... and he stood there calmly looking into the camera as his buddy behind the camera was saying “holy sheeeeet!”
Not a nut job conspiracy when the DOJ is dirty from Eric Holder down thru the US attorney’s to the FBI & BATF. That’s a rude reality.
can you provide a link to the pickup truck video?
At the very end...

Too much bang, too close, no safety glasses... Lucky to be alive and whole.
VERY. I hate to say it but if I was ATF, I would 'raid' him knowing full well he's probably legal, then pull him aside and say, "Dude. I did this cuz I actually LIKE you and want to see you ALIVE. That video nearly showed your DEATH. When doing this stuff, BE MORE CAREFUL brother."
You think there wasn’t some creative editing involved in that?
See my previous.

The redneck Christians on Duck Dynasty who like to blow up beaver dams and old pickup trucks. Lol.
I am so in with the Patriot Act.
