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.

Who knows? Who cares?
You are saying "They went after one company, but they didn't go after the other company that is doing the same exact thing". Well, maybe there is a reason for this. Maybe they don't care about this issue but were required to look into it after a tip. Maybe they decided to test the waters with this one case first before going after others. Maybe the agency tasked with this issue can only devote a small percentage of it's time to this certain law and feels it's time would be better invested elsewhere. Maybe the agency tasked with this issue was going to after all of them, but after the first shot they decided not to but still had to follow through with other cases because it wasn't worth their time or effort.
I would like to believe that the President of the United States isn't so petty that he would have law enforcement shut down a company because they donated to the other team. Clearly I'm wrong because we have a governor who shut down a bridge to piss off another city that didn't back him.
