Red's Trading Post

As you can see, I haven't posted to this blog in a while. Not sure I have enough to say to attract folks here, but this is something I just had to post about, if for no other reason to increase the links to these problems.

You see, I 've been following the story of Red's Trading Post for some time now on their own site, and on the War on Guns site.

Here's the nutshell. Gun dealer has some minor paperwork problems, and the ATF brings it's full weight to bear on them, trying to shut them down. When Red's fights back, the ATF turns the screws some more. When people try to observe the ATF in action, they get all upset. It's a mess all around. Seems the "nice" folks at the ATF aren't used to us normal folk looking over their shoulder and questioning their motives and tactics. I hope they see much more of it in the future. It's a government "of" the people ATF, get used to it.

Head over to Red's Trading Post, their blog, or any of the other sites on the internet that are watching this closely. I read about it mostly on The War on Guns
