   "It is a detriment to honest  government and American ideals.  It has   
   duped millions of uneducated, ignorant, and foolish U.S. citizens into   
   believing, falsely, that the Second Amendment sanctions gun ownership   
   and the right to kill their fellow Americans just because they want to   
   curtail the sale of dangerous firearms to hillbillies and other jerks.   
      
   "Moreover, it has corrupted especially Republican politicians into   
   meekly doing its will by giving them millions of dollars masked as   
   campaign contributions.

   "Federal agents charge 34 white supremacists"   
      
   By Sari Horwitz   
   November 9,  2012   
      
      
      
   Federal agents arrested dozens of members of the white supremacist   
   Aryan Brotherhood of Texas on Friday and charged them with murder,   
   kidnapping, racketeering and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine   
   and cocaine.   
      
   A 43-page federal indictment unsealed by the Justice Department names   
   34 members of the violent organized crime group who have been charged,   
   including four of its senior leaders.   
      
   “ABT uses extreme violence and threats of violence to maintain   
   internal discipline and retaliate against those believed to be   
   cooperating with law enforcement,” said Assistant Attorney General   
   Lanny A. Breuer. “Through violence and intimidation, ABT allegedly   
   exerts control over prison populations and neighborhoods, and instills   
   fear in those who come in contact with its members.”   
      
   As an example, Breuer said that alleged ABT leader Kelly Ray Elley and   
   others ordered subordinates to kill a prospective member and to make   
   the killing “as messy as possible” to send a message to gang members   
   not to cooperate with law enforcement. Elley also allegedly ordered   
   gang members to return the man’s severed finger as a trophy.   
      
   “Today’s takedown represents a devastating blow to the leadership of   
   ABT,” Breuer said.   
      
   In an investigation led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms   
   and Explosives, more than 170 law enforcement agents fanned out across   
   Texas and North Carolina on Friday to arrest 14 of the 34 ABT members   
   who were charged. Another 15 were already in custody, and five remain   
   at large.   
      
   The defendants range from senior leaders to soldiers of the ABT, a   
   whites-only prison-based gang with members operating in and out of   
   state and federal prisons across the country, Justice officials said.   
   The group was started in the 1980s within the Texas prison system and   
   modeled itself after a similar Aryan Brotherhood gang formed in the   
   California prison system during the 1960s.   
      
   Originally, the group was concerned with the protection of white   
   inmates and the issue of white supremacy. But over time, ABT allegedly   
   expanded its criminal enterprise to include illegal activities for   
   profit, according to court documents.   
      
   The group has a detailed organizational structure, court documents   
   show, with territory divided into five regions, each run by a   
   “general.” The documents allege that the ABT enforced its rules and   
   promoted discipline among its members, prospective members and   
   associates through murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to murder,   
   arson, assault, robbery and threats against those who violated the   
   rules or posed a threat to the enterprise.
