Although details were initially sketchy, Lumber Liquidators' (LL) stock price plunged as much as 10% early Friday after a reported raid by federal investigators on its headquarters related to a probe of illegal imports.

I was wondering about those blue stripes too. DHS must now be an arm of the UN. They need blue helmets too.

"What is with the blue guns in that photo?"

Inert training aids are frequently made/painted bright blue to differentiate them from actual weapons/munitions:

The blue gun in the photo are for training, they shoot a simunition round, a bit more accurate then paint ball. It has the consistency of lipstick. The bright blue lets you know someone didn’t bring a real gun to training.

DHS = American Gestapo

Look at it from their perspective. Busting a law abiding company is a lot safer than doing something like patrolling Chicago streets.

I thought Homeland Security was supposed to protect us from terrorists. Is Lumber Liquidators a terrorist organization? I guess if they advertise on Conservative Radio and Fox News they are.

Gee, did any of their SWAT teams get to fire any of the 3,000,000,000 hollow point bullets they've got stored for just such events?
