Anytime the government interacts with citizens, it should be open to anyone to see. You think this was an undercover operation? LOL.

I see, so I guess you think feds questioning of Taliban Johnny violated your creed? Sorry, the guy had a right to call the media, no one said he didn't. This was an investigation into what obviously was a terrorist attack, so yes, it was a bit more than just an average everyday auto accident investigation. In case you haven't noticed the big hole in NYC and the 3000+ dead.

I never said what this guy did was illegal, I said it was uncivil! Big difference. The class of "conservative" and I use that term very very lightly, that perpetuates a hatred and distrust of government does no one any good. A couple of agents want to check the serial number on your gun, let em. They are doing their jobs, why intentionally take a defensive and confrontational stand? There is no reason for it. Let em in, offer them a drink let them check the numbers and they are on their way... but no, greet them with a wire, and shove a camera in their face, and make sure you jerk them around as much as possible. Yea, this guys behavior was really admirable... NOT.

Obviously you missed the earlier posts ...the 'why' was clearly answered there .... Waco ..Ruby Ridge ...FFL Gun Shop owners ... Congressman Hansen ... All Citizens that thought the feds they were dealing with read the same Constitution .... Wrong. You may knuckle under and enjoy brow beating behavoir from JBT's but real Americans fought and died so they wouldn't have to deal with these injustices. ""The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair." H.L. Mencken

I've been reading your comments here. And I disagree with you in so many ways, that to name them all would make for a very long post.

So I've distilled my comments down these comments and one question:

When agents/officers are the targets of investigation, they are the very often the first and foremost to "lawyer up", decline comment, cite "an ongoing investigation", etc...

I've never heard of any agent cooperating with an investigation against them. In fact, in the recent case of the Boy Scout being shot, the investigator was told he'd lose all friends in the bureau if he pursued the case.

My question to you is: If they won't cooperate, why should anyone else?

Moronic statement. You guess wrong.

Great stuff! Trying to equate a simple serial number check for which they tried to make an appointment with the war on terror. LOL Stoop to any level to defend a goofy position.

He did, but he had a healthy skepticism that his property would be returned so he had witnesses there. Whats the problem? If they have no improper intentions, why do they care if someone witnesses the procedure?

I guess you are uninformed about the property seizures carried out routinely by goverment agents in the WOD where no charges are ever filed but the property is never returned. Sometimes even after a judge tells the government to return it. Sometimes you have to sue the government to get your property returned, at your own expense. They know that it will cost you ten times the value of the property in legal fees to make them comply. You need a reality check.
