My guess is Gibson probably did something wrong that was the reason they were issued a fine and agreed to pay it. It however of course didn't warrant using a SWAT team but hey that's how they do things in MERICA these days. SWAT teams are used daily all across the country to raid white collar businesses and peoples homes whom aren't drug cartel members or terrorists.. It's a fact of life in New America, right along with NSA spying and guilty until proven innocent on all 25 charges the DOJ decides fits a single crime.
I however lose my reasonable doubt that it was just the big evil govt as out of line and poor Gibson did no wrong, when they try make it a political statement to sell Freedom Guitars. If Holder or anyone else did wrong then Gibson should be trying to prove their case with their evidence and take it to court.. Not try to use it as a political bashing on a right wing website and try to milk sales out of it.

The debate is not about whether Gibson was wrong. The point is that Martin did exactly the same thing and the feds knew it. Why didn't Holder go after them too?
Gibson doesn't have to milk sales. They sell everything they make and this *government* guitar is at the very lowest of their pricing. It's not going to be a money maker.
