Documentary filmmaker releases Fast and Furious preview

Fuller has been busy over the past year, flying to Arizona from his home in North Carolina, conducting interviews with key people in the story including family members and law enforcement personnel. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes progress on a project that's been over a year in the making.

All This and Whores, Too

Syjuco, Cesar Ubaldo and Arjyl Revereza, a Philippines customs official, were charged earlier this year with violating arms import laws by selling a grenade launcher, a mortar launcher and other weapons to the undercover agent who said he was interested in buying high-powered weapons that could be used by drug cartels in the U.S. and Mexico.

Oh look, another rabbit hole corridor for no one to trace back to the warren...

Univision Fast and Furious special corroborates information reported last year

"That’s certainly the case when the report focused on convicted and incarcerated gun seller Hugh Crumpler and 'Operation Castaway,' both subjects of numerous Gun Rights Examiner and Sipsey Street Irregulars reports beginning as early as July of 2011, and including Crumpler’s story in his own words. " [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report further validates that new media is an indispensable source for important and credible information the “mainstream” press either misses, refuses to cover, or spins to fit an agenda.

Meanwhile, Over at the Malcolm X Lounge

As college student, Eric Holder participated in ‘armed’ takeover of former Columbia University ROTC office  [More]
Be great if this pans out...

In true "Commissar Vanishes" tradition, the website that could tell us has been scrubbed.

Looking around at the Columbia culture, the thought strikes that for a place that incubates socialists, these indignant children are either pretty well off or pretty well taken care of.

It's Not Like We Didn't See THIS Coming

Gov. Jerry Brown outlaws open carrying of long guns in California cities [More]
 Ol' Gomer's pulling double-duty today.

I recall being "schooled" by a "political pragmatist" some time back for pointing out some inconvenient truths.

It seems those of us with "axes to grind" just don't get political nuances and the art of the possible.

Or maybe we do.

Yes, of course I know about Brown filing the McDonald amicus. As I said at the time:
AG Moonbeam isn't doing this because he likes us. California has a slew of anti-gun edicts he wants to position himself to defend.
And now, of course, the same "activists" who loudly condemned open carry every chance they got are condemning the open carriers for being responsible for this new law, as opposed to blaming the ones who passed it.

Yeah, but if they hadn't exercised their rights, they wouldn't have been banned, goes the logic.  What good such a right is that can't be exercised without being banned remains unstated.

Oh but now, since open carry is illegal and concealed carry is so tightly controlled, "shall issue" just got a real shot with the Supreme Court! At least that's the new silver lining being bandied about by those who understand things better than poor SNBIers like me (yes, that's actually used in some "pro gun" circles as a term of derision).

I guess if they ever agree to hear such a case and if the composition of the court hasn't changed by then...

Grounded in the Liberal Arts

This may answer the question about why regressive anti-gunners are so violent. [Read]

Except not really, as physics and biology involve knowledge...

Apostasy

Me neither. [Read]

That's Some Criteria

Really? [Read]

So, if we're to believe that armed right-wing extremists are the threat they're made out to be, there will be nothing allowed that advances citizen disarmament? Because if we believe what they're telling us, that could "incite or provoke violence"?

See, when you rule, you don't need to be consistent.

The Sounds of Silence

A year after the sound and fury over a state law allowing concealed guns in bars and restaurants, there has been silence. [More]
Take it away, Gomer!

That's Some Plan

It looks like the plan he's demanding is that we all be as helpless as he was.  And if we refuse, to have it forced on us by men with guns. [Read]

Killing Is the Solution

With that attitude, I fear he's right. [Read]

Forward!

Hugo Chavez says he'd vote for Obama [More]

Figures.

Award-Winning Performances

Rappers Young Jeezy and Rick Ross in angry fight at BET Awards which 'saw shots fired in parking lot' [More]
They shut down a tribute to this guy.


And while "The opinions expressed here do not necessarily reflect those of BET Networks." you can...uh...bet they really do.

Funny, who the segment of the population who self-identify by race pay tribute to.

But sorry, Rick.  While you're out there telling your audience "Barama" is "the "one," he's telling your audience something else.

This Day in History: October 1
