The guitar note heard 'round the world?

For years, progs and hippies have been dreaming of the "Rock 'n' Roll Revolution," in one context or another.  Would that this would be the start of it.

Wherein tonight's installment can be entitled, "Where were you when owning wood became a felony?"

I noticed on the news today that the offices and factories of Gibson Guitars in Nashville and Memphis Tennessee were both raided yesterday (8/24) by armed federal agents, forcing a shutdown of operations, and sending employees home.  Since I remembered hearing about Gibson being raided in 2009, this caught my attention. 

What's going on here?  Why is a company best known for producing electric guitars being raided by armed feds?  Is it labor?  Illegal aliens?  Are they selling raw milk on the side?  No, it's about wood.  Wood? 

RTWT.  Yet another in "a long list of abuses and usurpations" by a government far, far out of control.  When does it become too much?  What's your breaking point?

Wake up, man!  They're coming for your guitars!!


UPDATE:  I was wrong.  Apparently, the scourge of unlicensed guitars is causing ever more havoc on the Mexican border.  Mea culpa.  The loss of our freedoms is a small price to pay for safety.
