GRE Round Up for March 2

Here are the latest offerings from my fellow GREs:

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

Idaho Rep. to urge Darrell Issa to investigate ‘Project Gunwalker’ charges

That is exactly what is needed. House Oversight Committee hearings conducted alongside Senate Judiciary Committee hearings are the only way the scope of the Gunwalker story—how widely it is spread and how high it reaches up to in the government—is likely to be determined. It would also provide the needed impetus to get the rest of a so-far reluctant media to follow the lead established by CBS News. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a Gunwarrior, a Gunweasel and a Gunwaffler.

Let's get three out of three, and put terror into the hearts of the Gunwalkers.

The Department of Pre-Crime Meets "The Cage"

But, should causation be shown one day, what would that mean for our legal system and society at large? Should we be doing skin conductivity tests on toddlers and then locking them up based on the results?  [Read]

A-yup.

Is Nothing Sacred?

Good question.  [Read]

Unalienable rights are supposed to be. After all, they were endowed by our Creator. Or inherent to the condition of being human for those of you who reject such notions.

So it's no surprise that when you allow mere men to presume authority to commit the blasphemy of dispensing or withholding them, they will continue to make profane every sacred blessing they can pull within their foul reach.

Seeing as how that's been permitted to happen, and submitted to without defiance in solidarity by believers, this latest move by the defilers in Illinois to out gun owners seems perfectly understandable in the context of rendering unto Caesar that which is his.

Isn't it interesting though--the state idol worshipers at the Associated Press are all in an ecstatic frenzy to get their claws on the names of "law-abiding" gun owners.  But as for law-breaking enforcers, we have yet to hear a peep. 

We're the Only Ones Walking Guns Enough?

A sophisticated operation run out of a Bessemer home removed serial numbers from guns, replaced them with fake numbers and possibly put thousands of untraceable firearms on the street, according to federal authorities and court records. [More]
And then there's this:
The operation was stopped by the ATF during a two-year undercover investigation of gun trafficking from Oklahoma to Alabama.
So at what point did they learn about this guy, at what point did they intervene, who issued directions, and what damage was done in the interim?

Perhaps Sen. Grassley ought to add this to his "to do" list...

Was ICE agent killed with ‘walked’ gun?

When the killing was first reported, two separate journalists investigating the unfolding “Project Gunwalker” story asked this correspondent if walked guns were involved, but at the time it was premature to even speculate. Since revelations in this arrest show “the [arrested] men were the subject of an undercover investigation by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Drug Enforcement Administration in November," it’s no longer premature—at least to speculate. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report concludes maybe yes, maybe no. Say, here's an idea: Why don't we have Congressional investigations and find out for sure?

Also listen to an interview, listen to another interview, watch still another interview and then let's all go to Oregon.

Share the link? Maybe yes...?
