Absolutely remarkable. A 51 year-old man lives with his father in a trailer. Thirty-four years ago – as a minor – the man was arrested with a friend that had forged a check. That made him a “former felon.” His father collects guns. The dozen or so guns are secured in a safe. With search warrant in hand, “15 officers from the U.S. bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local police” surround the trailer, use a battering ram on an unlocked door, throw people to the floor, point guns at their heads, handcuff them, and proceed to trash the place.
Why? “The family was told by ATF officers that the agency received a tip six weeks ago that a convicted felon was living at the home and had access to guns.”
The “convicted felon” has no run-ins with the law since 1975 as a minor. The local police were fully aware of the gun collection. No attempt was made to simply knock or inquire about entry. No, Obama’s Thugs treated this family like they were on the FBI Most Wanted List.
Did they arrest anyone? No.
Did they take all the guns? No – they left behind the one gun that wasn’t a collectors item – a hand gun with a clip.
Afterward: “At the end of it when they didn’t find nothing, they were real nice,” Gilman Boynton said.
Yeah, thanks Obama. You’re running the wrong war, son.

What happened to juvenile records being sealed? After 34 years they do this?
Do I understand correctly that they took all the collector’s items & left one handgun that is not collectible, & the owner says they were “real nice?!!!”
Geez, Louise, Clyde, what the hell is going on? Where is the outrage of the collector?
Lord, help us all!
Sealing juvenile records is typically a state issue because a state-level crime was violated. The ordinary situation is that misdemeanors and summary offenses are sealed but felonies are not.
It is common for a juvenile felon to petition for the record to be sealed years after its closure. Some states take that process through court and others to the executive branch. Regardless of the procedure, it is a defendant-initiated process.
This guy apparently did nothing.
Still doesn’t make the ATF&E action even remotely acceptable. This is simply outrageous.
Where was this and exactly when?
Things of this sort are outrageous, if factual.
I am outraged if this is certain, but without facts and specifics, it is difficult to share the outrage.
Jeff, follow the link in the post. Wallingford, CT – this past Friday, May 15, 2009. Thank for reading.
Thank you, Clyde. You are teaching me so much about law.
It is outrageous. They get away with crap like this because people like Mr. Boynton just accept it, & don’t pursue legal options.
These guys were obviously not Oathkeepers. Well, unless you count the one they left behind.
God bless America!
