In a recent development, Liberty Safe, a reputed American company renowned for its high-quality gun safes, confirmed on Tuesday that they had cooperated with the FBI by granting access to a safe owned by Nathan Hughes, a protester connected to the January 6, 2021 Capitol events.
“Liberty Safe has built America’s most trusted gun safes for sale for over 30 years,” the company stated, underscoring its prominence in the industry. “Our unyielding commitment to high-quality gun safes has made Liberty the premier choice for millions of Americans. You are always protected with a Liberty gun safe with superior fire protection, exclusive military-style locking bars, and unmatched security features.”
However, these acclaimed security features were bypassed when Liberty Safe provided the FBI with an access code during a raid on Hughes’ residence, Breitbart reports.
The FBI was investigating Hughes for alleged involvement in the January 6th events.
Subsequent to the raid, he was arrested.
The Hodge twins, who are acquainted with Hughes, detailed the FBI’s operation at his home, revealing, “Last week, a friend of ours was raided by the feds over J6, his name is Nathan Hughes and he’s from Fayetteville, Arkansas. Nate was raided by the FBI and arrested at gun point. His girlfriend (who just had a miscarriage) was held at gun point and put in handcuffs.”
“The FBI turned off his security cameras, unplugged his internet, and flipped his house upside down in a search,” they went on. “The feds called the manufacturer of his Liberty Gun Safe and got the passcode to get into it too. All for protesting at the Capitol over 2 1/2 years ago. He is being charged with crimes related to January 6th. He didn’t assault anyone and he didn’t vandalize anything. He is being labeled a domestic terrorist and a traitor to his country by woke leftists and the media. Nate is just like us…he’s an outspoken American Patriot…he loves freedom, loves his country, and would do anything to preserve our rights.”
The twins added, “He’s been fighting to save our country for years now. He’s also a small business owner with a family that relies on him. We all know how heated this political climate is getting, but they’ve pushed too far and it’s time for people to speak up for people getting screwed by the system. BLM and Antifa can go burn down our cities and get off the hook, but Trump supporters get raided and rounded up for protesting.”
In their defense, Liberty Safe commented, “Liberty Safe is devoted to protecting the personal property and 2nd amendment rights of our customers and has repeatedly denied requests for access codes without a warrant in the past. We do not give out combinations without proper legal documentation being provided by authorities.”
The company insisted they were unaware of the specifics surrounding the FBI’s investigation when they were approached for the access code.
Trending Politics co-owner Collin Rug called for a boycott against Liberty Safe.
“America’s top gun safe manufacturer, Liberty Safe, gave the FBI an access code to a safe owned by someone who was present at the J6 protest,” he said in a post. “We have officially found the Bud Light of gun safes. Enjoy going out of business, @libertysafeinc.”
