This demonstrates the senator is serious about this and will not tolerate willful noncompliance. It also marks a serious miscalculation on the part of ATF bureaucrats and their Department of Justice handlers, and has produced what, for them, is no doubt the unintended consequence of steeling Grassley's resolve to pursue his investigation over all attempts to refuse cooperation. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner column notes the stakes just got higher. It also notes you're not getting this news from any "mainstream" networks or newspapers--which is why I keep on harping for regular readers to share these links.

The Criminal Mayors have started a Treason on Wheels cross-country tour. George Stephanopoulos does a great job being impartial instead of just a sympathetic sob-sister tool for Furious Mike, don't you think? [Read and watch]
You don't?
And OK, it's a truck, not a bus. But it's still magic. Because there's certainly nothing grounded in reality about it.
Huh--I see they're posting Tweets and they're now in Newark. Does this mean they won't announce their destination and dates in advance, so maybe people can greet them? Armed and openly carrying, where feasible?
And Huh again--all the comments so far appear to be solidly in the "disarm us for our own good" camp, almost as if they primed the pump or something. Let's just see if they entertain reasoned discourse:

Not the Whole Truth-O-Meter
"Mostly True" [More]Not really, because it's not the whole story. It's not even the most significant fraction of the whole story.
Without accounting for lives saved, I'd say this graphic is more appropriate, as would be referring to you agenda-pushers as "Politif****d":
Joke of the Week
Angelenos have a meaningful opportunity to make our city a model of gun violence prevention. [More]Hahahaha! Good one, Eric Garcetti and David C. Bohnett!
I'm looking forward to you explaining how that will work to these guys. Just get rid of those NRA troglodytes and it'll be Kumbaya City!
$2M in foundation grants for this control freak nonsense, eh, DB? Nothing like knowing this is a true grassroots movement, as opposed to elites using their inordinate influence to impose themselves on everybody else.
Banging Pots and Pans
That's a description I use for the process we're going through to get the "Project Gunwalker" story noticed in the absence of "Authorized Journalist" interest. Mike even tells us there's a name for that when other people join us: Cacerolazo!

FOIA request filed with ATF over Grassley ‘Gunwalker’ briefing
This would include any memorandum, report, summary or other communication that describes what happened at the meeting, including a description of any oral briefing and what was said by both sides, and include copies of any such documents filed or stored, or designated for filing and storage, at the Office of Public and Government Affairs. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there is no (legitimate) reason why this information should not be shared.
