How to Deal with the FedGov

Lie.

This guy admitted lying to "illegally" purchase guns. Two cops are dead in the sequence of events that followed. He'll get "three to four years."

Wayne Fincher told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He peaceably owned guns--which he manufactured and which never entered interstate commerce, and were never used for any purpose other than to serve in the Constitutionally-recognized Citizen Militia. He got six-and-a-half years.

The moral here is, when dealing with the government, lie. It's a language they understand. And one more thing, perhaps the most important: confess. They get off on knowing they've broken you. And they seek revenge on those who won't break.
