Stinking federal gun cops lose a round. Homer Helton finally gets his firearms back after acquittal on BS charges.

"Homer Helter's guns back home at his store after released by ATF." And here's the original story from the end of March: "Homer Helter returns to operating store, veterans call him 'hero of Naples'"

The ATF has virtually unlimited resources to prosecute you. Sometimes they'll just break you with legal expenses, even if you win the case. A case some years ago cost an Alabama gun store owner defendant over $300K for lawyers over a 2 year period, even though he eventually beat the ATF in court. Charges wound up being dismissed by the judge (after 2 years) because ATF had refused to show evidence they had which would have tended to exonerate the defendant. But that defendant suffered much anxiety and has that much less for retirement while the ATF agents don't have any problem with their retirement funds.; May 19, 2013 at 8:23 AM

Because they're such good guys who mean well, right? And I'll bethca those same agents will tell you they are oath keeping Constitutionalists who support the second amendment, and would swear their agency doesn't have an anti-freedom agenda.; May 19, 2013 at 8:50 AM

It is astonishing that someone of such sterling character was targeted, and of course federal informants are always dirtbags. That is how they get 'owned' by the gov.

At least this one ended well, other than furthering the cause of the "full employment for lawyers act." They ALWAYS come out shiny!; May 19, 2013 at 11:42 AM
SWIFT said...: You read about these instances of ATF oppression all the time. They try to make a name for themselves by breaking people financially. Justice means less than nothing to these sub-human scumbags. One day, they'll screw with the wrong person; some one older who has lived his life and don't give a shit for tomorrow. They'll try their terrorism and receive a face full of lead. The good news is; their children will be eligible to attend the orphans picnic.; May 19, 2013 at 4:46 PM
ATOM ANT said...: Petition our legislators for laws that would at least reimburse documented expenses when winning a case against government agencies.; May 19, 2013 at 7:49 PM
William Flatt said...: Atom Ant; you would have us go hat in hand to beg the people who legislate away our liberty for the consideration of being reimbursed?

These scumbags should be made to crawl on their hands & knees, and crawl every inch from the Capitol all the way back to their home districts, stopping at every home along the way and beg forgiveness for decades of tyranny gradually inflicted upon the American people. They should stop at every doorstep and beg forgiveness for 100 years of wage slavery at the hands of the Federal Reserve and IRS.

And it is my sincere hope that the people will spit upon them and flog them at every step along the way.

Our recompense will only come when we remove them from their seats of power, and send them to hell on the horse(whore?) they rode in on!!; May 19, 2013 at 11:15 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
