A War of Attrition

“We’ve spent $70,000 [on legal fees] so far . . . and there’s still no court date,” Horsley told American Free Press on July 11. He believes the ATF and U.S attorneys want to avoid setting a court date since the feds might lose the case and receive unwanted publicity.

Their tactic appears to be: Find clerical glitches, if any, make court filings and exhaust Red’s finances.

“They’re trying to win by attrition,” said Horsley, adding that every legal rebuttal to the citations from each ATF visit costs the store $5,000 to $6,000.

Mark Anderson of AmericanFreePress.net gives us a good summation of the continued BATFU assault tactics on Red's Trading Post.

In related news, Ted Nugent may get involved.

If you do not, you really do not understand the situation.
