Mark "Choppa" Manley is a gun owner, a gun collector and a Second Amendment advocate who has more than 70 legally owned firearms stored in a gun safe at his Baltimore home.
All of his firearms comply with both federal law and the laws of Maryland. He is always very careful about that.
Manley works as an intervention specialist for his local school district. His day begins early and ends late, usually around 7 p.m., because he also coaches girls' flag football.
Manley and his wife, who did not want her first name used in this story, get up early for their jobs. For them, Nov. 21 began just like any other workday.
"The morning of the raid started just like any other morning," Manley told the Second Amendment Foundation's Investigative Journalism Project.
"My wife went downstairs around 4:30 a.m. to make coffee," he said. "I was sitting on the side of the bed, getting myself together."
"Mark, there's someone outside the house!" his wife yelled. She saw people moving around in their front yard. .....

The BATF should be dissolved, and the personnel given the option to work for ICE.
I heard the authorities once made a big raid on a former President of the United States, squad car lights twirling, news media showing it like a mobster had been finally cornered after a gun battle, and the agents tossing framed pictures, lingerie in drawers and personal papers on the floor and walking on them.
What a country.
This needs to be fixed. Thank you for posting this.
Manley will soon find out what the skin color of his REAL FRIENDS are, assuming he doesn’t already know.
They are lucky they didn’t get exterminated like rats...
I feel bad for him but he shouldn’t make this about race. This is about the out-of-control government against its people. That’s where the focus needs to be.
Well Said and fully documented
Well said
Again.
This is the same agency that committed murder at Ruby Ridge, WACO, and MANY lesser known incidents.
They have ZERO authority to exist under our constitution, “Shall not be infringed” should be familiar to all here.
Now they have been around for decades enforcing illegitimate “Laws” and their own bogus “Rulings” which have the force of law.
All with NO approval from our lazy congress as required by the constitution.
They will be almost impossible to shut down.
JPFO——
THANKS Dean.
So FlashBangs destroy Flooring and
Sniffer Dogs took care of
Everything Else.
Absolutely Outrageous.
Actually, if that gains more traction in actually getting a response from the lying, covering-up government agency that terrorized his family, then I say ‘go for it’.
What ever it takes.
This was shoddy police work.
It sounds like they did no surveillance, no corroboration, no investigation of any kind!
And, they must have lied on the application for the search warrant or the judge is a complete idiot.
Somebody’s ass needs to be fired, at least!
Maryland is dedicated anti-Second Amendment state.
Law enforcement has to re-evaluate this tactic.
the felony lie was a lie by the ATF
someone needs to be fired and charged
A number of police like to bust down doors an break things.
It should be an extremely limited tactic. It has grown immensely in the last 50 years. It is part of the failed war on some drugs.
ATF LOVES killing Americans. Any excuse will do. Disband the FIB and ATF. They are filled with cold blooded tyrants. We can only hope agents face the same wrath they perpetrate on we the people.
And a holes like Hannity who say “the rank and file are good people” can go to hell with them. There are no “good” rank and file in those gestapo organizations.
