In conjunction with Red's Trading Post, JPFO will be premiering our
newest documentary _The Gang_ in Red's home town of Twin
Falls, Idaho. A movie many don't want you to see, _The Gang_
exposes the abuses of the BATFE, from entrapment to racial discrimination
to institutional perjury.
This will be shown FREE OF CHARGE and Red's Trading Post will also
be raffling off a Ruger 10/22 Rifle and other prizes to those who
attend. Members of the press are expected to attend the showing as
well.
Where:
Lamphouse Theater
223 5th Ave South
When: June 13th and 14th at 7pm

We've been keeping our readers abreast of the trials Red's has suffered
under the BATFE. Targeted by the agency who exaggerated minor paperwork
errors while hiding other relevant information in an effort to shut
down the business, Red's recently won an injunction to keep their
business running ( www.jpfo.org/alert20070503.htm
). After telling his story on our "Talkin' to America" program
(www.jpfo.org/talkamerica.htm
), owner Ryan Horsley was audited the next day by ATF agents, including
an area supervisor. Said the agents, "We'll do this again and
again and again..." (www.jpfo.org/redsupdate2.htm
)
Yes, the BATFE is impressed with itself, no doubt. Take a peek at
this Amended Declaration ( www.jpfo.org/redsdec.pdf
). Part of the suit Red's filed in an effort to save the business,
this declaration is the sworn statement of BATFE agent Richard Van
Loan. In Section 7, he references the phrase "...when justice
so requires." This isn't the first time Agent Van Loan has said
that. In fact, according to Horsley, Agent Van Loan has stipulated
several times that he has ultimate authority "when justice so
requires".
Justice ... or revenge?
Ryan's still fighting back. In addition to the coverage JPFO has
provided on this outrageous case, Red's has taken out ads in both
radio and print to publicize their plight, and numerous articles are
being written in their local papers. Red's will also begin blogging
their experiences at http://redstradingpost.blogspot.com
, and Ryan has been invited to appear on the area's biggest talk show.
Writer David Codrea even mentioned the case in his "War on Guns"
blog ( http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2007/06/batfu-revenging-itself-on-reds.html

If you can make it, please support Red's Trading Post and JPFO by
attending this showing of _The Gang_. We must abolish the
BATFE ... or the Second Amendment will be abolished for us.
In Ryan Horsley's words, "I was left speechless after watching
The Gang. Having been a target of the BATFE ourselves, the
other stories of abuse were eerily similar. Gun dealers are sitting
targets; there is no winning against the BATFE. If they cannot win
in court then they will bleed your finances until you give up and
it is your tax money that supports them. The Gang will wake
people up and make them realize that this false security that the
BATFE protects us is a lie. This is an agency that cannot be reformed,
it must be abolished."
