Three days after he posted a series of six video clips recorded with a cell phone camera at San Francisco International Airport, four federal air marshals and two sheriff's deputies arrived at his house to confiscate his federally-issued firearm. The pilot recorded that event as well and provided all the video to News10.Make sure you watch the video. That's quite a gang-up. I'm surprised they didn't at least kill his dog.
At the same time as the federal marshals took the pilot's gun, a deputy sheriff asked him to surrender his state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon.
A follow-up letter from the sheriff's department said the CCW permit would be reevaluated following the outcome of the federal investigation. [More]
So much for depending on the government for permission to keep and bear arms. They don't like you and so much for that. But doesn't this just show the ridiculousness of the whole presumption--that videotaping official thugs and boobs makes someone who knows them when he sees them too dangerous to be trusted with a firearm.
But he can still fly.
So say the "Only Ones."

I'd guess his company will suspend him pending evaluation of his psych profile and fitness to pilot a commercial aircraft, and faa will move to pull his certificate. He is on his way to being a non-person in the new Amerika.
This will make for an interesting civil rights case if he can afford to carry it to court.
A shame we'll have to use the military buddy system not only when we travel -- got bumpersticker? -- but in our own yards.
I try to listen for the patter of little po-po feet in my neighbors' yards as well as my own. If there's any, I WILL know what it's for, and we can all have a good day or a bad day, depending.
Another public relations coup for fedgov and the cops.
They don't see any backlash forthcoming.
Speaking of feds gone wild:
Obama EPA moving "unilaterally" without Congress to impose his unreal "greenhouse gas" emission restrictions on the industries we have left.

I don't see any backlash coming, either, at least not in any significant numbers. We who understand liberty and the motivations for the War for Independence are too few. We'll be picked off one by one, and the media will successfully portray us as lone nutjobs.
Truly sad.
Would this qualify as - literally -- a war on guns?
What will it take to wake people up who are still asleep at the switch?
