ATF Arrests 'Commanding Officer' Of TX Citizen Militia On Weapons Charges

Authorities arrested a Texas man belonging to a citizen militia on weapons charges Monday morning.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives booked Kevin "KC" Massey in Brownsville, Texas, according to local station KGBT.

Massey belonged to the paramilitary group "Camp Lonestar," a colorful outfit that sports guns, military fatigues, and soul patches in its mission to secure the border.

The group also guards against "members of ISIS" crossing the boarder, echoing recent remarks by Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
