How long did they keep the wood et al in question which they used to justify the raid in the first place? Yes, the "home audio lifestyle" may be their real problem. Or it may be a convenient excuse to not have to tell the truth about what corrupt filthy lying treasonous sewage compose this country's "Law Enforcement" and its "Legal" system today.Mark Matisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-37883237242167451252018-05-02T20:33:29.141-04:002018-05-02T20:33:29.141-04:00right now on the local CL there are 20 + Les Pauls...right now on the local CL there are 20 + Les Pauls, from plain to fancy,<br /> numerous 335's, lots of strats and teles, all 30-50 percent less than store price.

That explanation is what...I don't think so. That explanation is what's in my 2011 link I put into "Or an entirely politically motivated attack. " <br /><br />Gibson settled with the feds for $300,000 and was left alone after paying their protection money; what the Romans called "tribute". Contrast that with the $500,000,000 that they're in debt over the "home audio lifestyle" stuff. I think that's the real problem. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-58463983114092142982018-05-02T10:48:11.148-04:002018-05-02T10:48:11.148-04:00This:
