Is ‘Project Gunwalker’ about to bust wide open?

The bottom line is, insiders are prepared to come forward. Not just with testimony, but with documentary evidence, and it looks like the trail leads to high places in the executive branch. [More]

And naturally, the politicians are doing what they do best--ignoring this.


Regular readers I cannot overemphasize the importance of YOU getting involved in this. 

Gunsensus

You know, like "consensus" only with a "gun".

Thing is, why do they get ink as any kind of authoritative source? (Nice: the gun right next to the mixed drink.  No bias creation intent there in this "straight news" piece.)

But back to my question: Who are these people?

It looks like the folks my late friend Aaron referred to as "Bagel Brains" are helping to spread a one-sided message:

And it looks, from her Twitter page, like Lori A. O'Neil is essentially your typical anti-gun "progressive" hack:

Her "organization," if there is one, hasn't been around long enough to be found on GuideStar, Melissadata or other nonprofit aggregator websites.

If it looks like Astroturf and feels like Astorturf...that must mean there is no "consensus," just the lie that one exists.

Imagine that.

Which brings me back to the only answer that makes sense for my original question: That instead of being an objective news reporter, "Authorized Journalist" Ben Jackson is also exhibiting the "ethics" of a "progressive" hack.

And funny thing about the name O'Neil chose. It's already been claimed:

gunsensus
meaning: forcing a consensus on people by presenting a fait accompli situation.
pronunciation: gun-sen-sus.
usage: pratibha patil is sonia gandhi's gunsensus candiate.
root: holding the gun to achieve a consensus.

Sounds about right.  Actually, it sounds perfect.

But don't worry, Lori: I understand a sound-alike variant is still available.

Anything's Possible

No, it's not.

Idiot.

A Line Must Be Drawn

One has been.

Don't cross it.

Physician, Heal Thyself

Think about it. The AMA and the NRA working together to do good. [More]

Not if it requires tolerating your lying snark and ceding to your list of infringements, you obnoxious malpracticing incompetent.

We're the Only Ones Exceptional Enough

The bill makes some exceptions, for example prohibiting deadly force if the person entering a home is a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official capacity. [More]

Sorry. I know I lead a peaceable life that does not warrant an official home invasion.

So I'm afraid my default assumption is that such armed raiders must be those "fauxnly ones" I've been reading so much about in the news lately...

New Jersey gun case demonstrates no justice possible through ‘lawful’ avenues

As things stand now, there is no relief from this injustice.  Which kind of makes me wonder if these newly-empowered Republicans, the ones who’ve promised us they’re all for principled government—and who were put in power largely through the efforts of involved gun owners—are going to take the lead on fixing this obscene outrage. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at another way simply trying to engage in peaceable air travel can subject good Americans to state-sponsored terrorism. And the highest court in the land just said there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

Also witness a moving memorial, listen to more outrages the antis don't want us to be able to do anything about, and go over some bills that are coming due.
