Today is the 27th anniversary of Ruby Ridge.
Look it up. Refresh your memory.
Randy Weaver's 14 year old son, Samuel, was shot in the back and killed by federal agents because the family dog (which they also killed) alerted him to something in the woods on the property.
US Marshals hiding in those woods never announced themselves.
These federal agents then attempted to murder Randy Weaver via sniper fire when he went out to get his son's dead body and his back was turned, but they missed the kill shot and hit him in the shoulder instead.
Randy’s wife, Vicki, was murdered by FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi while holding her 10 month old baby.
After Randy Weaver's son and wife were murdered by federal agents (over illegal weapons charges, kicked off by an unfounded claim of threats, called in to the FBI by a neighbor who was retaliating against Mr. Weaver over a land dispute), he was later ACQUITTED ON ALL CHARGES except for failure to appear to court.
None of the federal agents who attacked and killed innocent American Citizens faced a day in court, much less prison time. Many would later saunter on down to Texas and roasted 82 more Americans, many of them women and children, less than a year later.
And the argument is being made that based solely on a tip, and with no due process, the government should be able to send armed men to your home and forcibly take your Right to defend yourself.
Stay Armed. Stay Free.
