Congressional Research Service can be used to expose ‘Project Gunwalker’

What did Mr. Churchill say about doing things while they’re still easy? [More]
Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column tells what you can do to help the Project Gunwalker investigation expose wrongdoing.  You want to help us do that, don't you?

And you'll share the link, too?

It also has a link to Trigger Sports Live! I'll be going on later this afternoon to talk about this.

We're the Only Ones Deliberately Indifferent Enough

The defendants sought summary judgment for qualified immunity, but a Detroit federal judge denied the motion as to four jail deputies, finding that they did not qualify for immunity because they purposefully ignored Bishop's pleas for help. [More]

John Richardson gives a summary of the stonewalling.

Let's Hear it for Being Unreasonable

My liberties are not up for debate, discussion, or a majority vote in congress. [More]
A-yup.

Others are free to compromise their rights as long as they keep their mitts off mine. If they try and drag me along, I'll defy them just as much as I would the insatiable beast they're trying to appease.

ATF stonewalling highlights importance of getting answers under oath

There are many questions that require answers--under oath. One of the behind-the-scenes advisors Mike Vanderboegh of the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog and I have been relying on throughout the course of our investigation has come up with five of them that go to the heart of the matter. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report suggests ways the mortar between the stones can be eroded.

This Day in History: February 9

On February 9th, Capt. Wheatley went out on reconnaissance with 20 mounted Rangers, and Col. Marbury quickly got news of this patrol. He sent Capt. Cooper with 12 men. When Capt. Wheatley stopped to cook dinner, Capt. Cooper rushed the camp and captured them without any resistance. [More]
