Gibson was raided because they are non union and known contributor to conservatives. Martin uses the exact same materials but is a union shop and democrat contributor. I don't know if Gibson was targeted as retribution or if Martin was taken off the target list as a political payback, but it is an act of cronyism of the sort that is very old and has become much more common as the government has become more powerful and activist.
We should all expect the same sort of thing to happen to firearms manufacturers that don't acquiesce to demands from the feds that would be unconstitutional to legislate. Imagine that The feds tell a manufacturer or wholesaler that they should stop marketing and selling guns directly to the public through transfers OR ELSE.
A raid doesn't have to be constitutional or legally allowable to be effective. Look at what happened to Cav arms a few years back. They had written permission to do what they were doing and they still got raided, shut down, and bankrupted.
