The JPFO brings to you the story of John Glover. Glover was the innocent gun owner that the BATFE tried to frame through fraud, deceit, and perjury. The truth only came out and conviction was evaded only because a video was released showing the BATFE testing a semi-auto gun that was supposedly converted to full auto. Check out the story to appreciate how that agency pursues law abiding gun owners with a vengeance.
The Cato Institute has a map detailing botched S.W.A.T. raids over the past 2 decades. These are incidents where the police often needlessly used para-military force to conduct no-knock raids that were conducted on innocent suspects and ones that ended in tragedy. Last year alone in New Jersey, S.W.A.T. teams with the wrong addresses raided four innocent families--luckily, none ended in tragedy.

The House has voted 322-99 to pass H.R. 5012 which is FOP endorsed legislation designed to prevent seizure of firearms during a state of emergency as we saw in NOLA post Hurricane Katrina. The Senate passed similar legislation--S.2599 earlier in the month 84-16.
