Why? Is there something I don't know about them? I have their BUIS on a number of guns and like them.
Here's the short and skinny.
Back in 1992 there was an incident called Ruby Ridge. Mr. Weaver had apparently sold a shotgun to an undercover ATF agent(could have been another agency, can't recall doesn't matter) that had been shortened to fit his young son. The shotgun was too short and was considered an AOW(any other weapon) by the NFA rules which requires a $50 tax stamp. Weaver did not have nor obtain a tax stamp. Law enforcement charged him and he failed to appear.
Some time later some FBI guys, ATF guys, and some US Marshals decided to execute a warrant and arrest Weaver. The story from other literature and sources say the encounter went down like this:
Samuel Weaver, the son of Randy Weaver was out on the property with his dog and a family friend Kevin Harris. At some point 6 US Marshals apparently dressed in all black with MP5's and no identifying marks appeared from the woods having been discovered by the dog. The story goes that the Weaver family dog was shot at which point Harris and Samuel Weaver returned fire with their firearms. At the end of it the 14 year old son of Randy Weaver was dead(shot in the back) as was the family dog and one LEO killed by Harris.
After this incident a standoff began. On the second day of the standoff an FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot at Weaver and Harris under the belief they were attempting to shoot at a police helicopter. Horiuchi shot and killed Mrs. Weaver which reports indicate was inside the house. The shot intended for Harris hit Mrs. Weaver. The other sources and literature indicate that she was transiting between the house and garage for food or other supplies when she was shot. There's more details and more f**ked up parts but you get the point. Lon Horiuchi murdered Mrs. Weaver, other agents murdered her son, Mr. Weaver was wounded as was Harris. The seige ended after 11 days and in the end Harris was acquitted on all charges and Weaver got nailed with two minor ones(failure to appear and the weapons charge). Sources say the cost of surveillance for the Ruby Ridge incident was more than that spent monitoring Manuel Noriega..
Lon Horiuchi was charged with manslaughter some years later but the federal courts used their muscle and dismissed the case without cause. Harris and Weaver both sued the US gov and won a lot of money for their criminal behavior..
So here's how it relates to Troy.
Lon Horiuchi had a partner/second sniper with him. That POS is Dale Monroe, who TROY had hired to instruct in their training division. Monroe has been quoted as saying "
I would have fired if Lon didn't" referring to the shooting of Mrs. Weaver..
It gets better. This gem of knowledge regarding TROY and their inability to do a background check was only discovered after the first poor choice in hiring. TROY had originally announced that they were going to hire Jody Weis, a former Chicago PD superintendent who is openly ANTI GUN!
So two complete losers, one an anti gun zealot and the other an accomplice to murder. Both hired by TROY... so...
F*&K TROY
