Details on the Schaeffer Cox Case

via The Immoral Minority

from the Alaska Dispatch

Two confidential sources on the payroll of the FBI helped the government make its case against Fairbanks-area militia members who are accused of stockpiling illegal weapons and plotting to kill judges, Alaska State Troopers and others, according to information in federal court records unsealed Friday.

Neither source knew the other one was working with investigators, but both began assisting in the investigation last June, according to affidavits filed with the court in order to obtain search warrants earlier this month.

Federal charges filed against Schaeffer.

Four of the five Interior Alaska residents arrested on state murder conspiracy charges last week now face federal charges after a federal grand jury announced two indictments this afternoon.

For Salcha couple Lonnie Vernon, 55, and his wife, Karen Vernon, 66, federal charges now include conspiracy to kill an IRS employee, U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline and family members. The charges supersede an earlier indictment against Lonnie Vernon.

Fairbanks resident Francis “Schaeffer” Cox, 27, and Coleman Barney, 36, of the North Pole area now face federal charges of conspiracy to possess illegal weapons. Cox faces additional charges for the possession of a Sten machine gun and manufacture of a silencer.

I've referred to Mr. Cox before as the Jim Jones of Gun Rights, but he's much more. He's going to be their patron saint and martyr.

The Jim Jones of Gun Rights

Chris Brown of Media Matters sent us the link to this wonderful article by his colleague David Hothouse, which contains a fantastic video of Schaeffer Cox.

A video posted online in June 2009 shows Alaska Congressman Don Young signing a revolutionary "Letter of Declaration" written by Alaska militia leader Schaeffer Cox, who was arrested yesterday along with four compatriots for allegedly plotting to kidnap and murder Alaska State Troopers and a Fairbanks judge.

At the 5:00 point, Schaeffer explains economics in a nutshell, simple enough for every gun owner to understand. At 7 minutes he explains how juries work. From there he goes right into what "sovereignity" really means.



Is this guy a smooth talker or what?  Aren't your grass roots gun owners usually suspicious of slick salesmen like this guy?  Is his con job so slick that it fools them? Or is his following not as widespread as he'd like us to think?

Ktuu.com from Fairbanks Alaska reports on the latest from gun rights activist Schaeffer Cox, whom we've discussed before.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska -- An Alaska gun rights activist blames his recent legal troubles on a bothersome mother-in-law and local police.

Second Amendment Task Force leader Schaeffer Cox has been arrested twice in recent months -- first in a dispute with his wife, and then for allegedly failing to notify a Fairbanks police officer he was carrying a concealed weapon.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that Cox spoke Friday night to about 40 members of the gun rights group. He acknowledged pushing his wife, but said he never punched or choked her as Alaska State Troopers initially claimed.

He blamed the troubles on his mother-in-law, who reported the confrontation to authorities, and he said local law enforcement is engaged in "character assassination" in an attempt to dissuade people from joining the Second Amendment Task Force.

Cox called the state troopers "wicked, corrupt and despicable."

Well, I certainly don't doubt the state troopers are "wicked, corrupt and despicable," but I also have no doubt that Mr. Cox is dangerous and should be disarmed.

What do you think? Is he just another persecuted gun owner? Is it simply a case of his mother-in-law picking on him?
