Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 18, 2009

Lynne Boynton of Wallingford, Connecticut was in her driveway when the stormtroopers arrived. Fifteen federal agents and local police, some of them wielding machine guns, swarmed the home she shares with her husband Paul and Father-in-Law Gilman.

Lynne was thrown face-down on the ground and held with a knee to her back and a gun to her head. 76-year-old Gilman and 51-year-old Paul were dragged out of bed and similarly assaulted.

The raiding party was from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, which received a tip that a felon in their home had access to guns. The ?felon? in question was Paul, who was convicted of check forgery thirty four years ago. On that basis the ATF confiscated fourteen of Gilman?s firearms.

No arrests were made, and the show of force was unnecessary. But gratuitous, arbitrary state violence is a trademark of the quasi-fascist police state America has become.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
