"ATF Arrests 'Commanding Officer' Of TX Citizen Militia On Weapons Charge"

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. -- I Peter, Chapter 5, Verse 8.

The collectivist Talking Points Memo reports: Authorities arrested a Texas man belonging to a citizen militia on weapons charges Monday morning. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives booked Kevin "KC" Massey in Brownsville, Texas, according to local station KGBT. Massey belonged to the paramilitary group "Camp Lonestar," a colorful outfit that sports guns, military fatigues, and soul patches in its mission to secure the border.

According to Gary Hunt Massey was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

LATER: Here is the story as reported by the Brownsville Herald: Militia man arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Backwoods Engineer said...: Yeah, I hate the "felony possession" provisions of the Gun Control Act of 1968; if felons are dangerous if they owned a gun, why are they not incarcerated or dead?

But this is really a different issue. I think ATF is cranking up their "get the militias" department again.; October 22, 2014 at 11:31 AM
bitter clinging texan said...: Im interested in how this case is disposed of.......being that being in possession of a firearm while a felon is NOT necessarily a crime in Texas(provided its been longer than five years since final disposition of the sentence), but this charge is evidently FEDERAL.......could there be some conflict of interest?; October 22, 2014 at 11:37 AM
Paul X said...: Again we see the use of "prohibited persons" lists. Now it is used to attack militias. It seems to be a general purpose tool for tyrants.

At some point it will dawn on people that it apparently no longer makes sense to tolerate being arrested. The enemy is already at war, and we are in his sights.

In the big picture, the enemy may have lost this encounter; all they managed was taking out one man while warning all the others that a war must soon come.; October 22, 2014 at 11:51 AM

rdf1967 said...: Amazing how ATF decides when to use felon in possession charge. For example, Steward and Chambers were allowed to buy 350 guns by Phoenix ATF "so they could get to cartel leaders" even though no effort was made.; October 22, 2014 at 7:59 PM
Anonymous said...: If you are a felon, regardless of being a Patriot, you should not have a gun. Change the law and then you can have your guns back. You do a dis-service to all of us when you are arrested as a felon in possession of a firearm. Please stay home or if you intend to patrol the border do it unarmed.; October 23, 2014 at 11:02 AM
Anonymous said...: Why would a convicted felon *seek media?*

He was all over internet and YouTube last couple of months.

This is someone who has been put up to this. He may not even be aware of it. The idea is kind of like "American Spring" - demoralize people, and reinforce stereotypes.

This event will discourage others from doing same, and is basically what I call "reverse false flag." This has ATF fingerprints all over it. I bet a network analysis of his contacts would show ATF or DHS handlers. I am also guessing "Fusion Center" on this one. It's an op.; October 24, 2014 at 1:10 AM

"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.
