US Government Harasses Iconic Business Over Foreign Law at Nobody's Request...

...and we wonder why the economy stinks???

This is precisely the type of dumb regulatory action that embodies the death-by-a-thousand-cuts economic policy of the Smartest President Ever and that is giving us this shitty economy (like this too). America is catching on to this, so you'd think that the someone somewhere in the government with a political stake - like say a President who is touting a drive to reduce stupid regulations - would put out a bulletin to avoid making this an issue by pursuing dumb regulatory enforcements. You would think, but you would be wrong. Furthermore, you would not only be wrong, but you would be wrong by a hundred country miles as this optically bad regulatory assault on an iconic American business wasn't even an enforcement of American law, but of another country's laws. OMFG!!!!! We are harassing and impeding American business based on foreign laws and not even at those country's behest. Head exploding!!!!

UPDATE: Frankly, I hope the feds expand enforcement raids on musical instruments. Musicians are enormous influences on the culture and they overwhelmingly spout collectivist, statist jibberish and puerile criticisms of right-leaning political ideology that abhors this petty tyranny. Let them reap what they sow. Let them tangibly feel the wrath of an empowered regulatory state reducing their liberty in the name of enforcing meaningless pet causes. Hand it over guitar hero!
