The American Government is at war with successful American Business. Until Petroleum, Lumber, Mining and Animal utilization are non-existent in America, the eco-terrorists and their supporters in the Government will stay on the rampage.
The DOJ raided the Gibson Guitar factory for wood imported under the auspices of the Indian Government and the US Customs Service. Gibson maintains that the DOJ is interpreting Indian law more strictly than the Indian Government. Hard to do business when you are in compliance, yet still a target as the result of capricious interpretation.
I must refer again to "3 Felonies a Day" in which the outrageous abuses of Federal power are documented ad nauseum. Required reading to fully understand the lopsided Federal enforcement situation we are in. Otherwise you risk, like Gibson Guitars, being blindsided by the abusive persecutorial practices of the Feds.
I'm afraid Gibson has little hope. The Feds will dog them until they are gone. Once you are on their radar, you're done. They provide weapons to the Mexican drug cartels that are used to murder Border Agents, lie, impede the investigation and cover up those facts - then put an iconic American Company out of business for SUPPOSED violations for importing wood.
Quick, get your Les Paul now - they may not be around for long. Just be careful, they could be deemed illegal and you will end up like Gibson Guitars!

Very, very troubling...
