Citation: Misrepresenting story - Inaccurate Title
You are issuing a "citation"? How droll. -- You gots to show me you badges first..
As it turns out, factually speaking, this was the State of California that brought charges against Wilmshurst and not fedgov which so many people here love to loathe;
And you love to point out those loathers -- and issue citations..
I also happen to think he has a case against CA ... Here's an interesting tidbit - and Ii think it casts an interesting light overall on this case:
Richard Wilmshurst, 68, filed a civil complaint against Lockyer in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, claiming that his federal arms importer's license should shield him from state prosecution. Wilmshurst claims, in his civil complaint, that the state is prosecuting him solely to cover up the theft of 10 ounces of gold and other gold coins by state agents and to hide the "cruel and inhuman procedures employed to intimidate a 68-year-old man in failing health."

Yes, an interesting sidelight.. But it wouldn't be the first time a lawman got sticky fingers on a search, would it?

I think it's just a bit more than disingenuous to 'plant' such a misleading title only to stir up the passions of others in an intentionally false and misleading manner.
Just to clarify, what exactly was it the ATF did 'again'?
It's not very clear in my mind, and it's probably ambiguous by what exactly is meant by that to more than just a few others reading these threads ...
