Yup Ruby Ridge was the same deal. They tried to railroad the guy over a shotgun which they claimed was 3/4 of inch too short (not the barrel but the overall length of the weapon) which meant he owed a 200 dollar tax on it (the gun was valued under 100 dollars) they tried to use this as leverage to make him spy on a group of skinheads. He refused and things escalated to the point his 14 year old son and the Boy's Mother were shot to death by Federal Goons running around in secret on his property in clear violation of his Constitutional Rights. No one in government responsible for that decision chain was every prosecuted.
Ruby Ridge was on HW’s watch.
