ATF emails and Assistant US Attorney memo point to official Gunwalker cover-up

Especially relevant to prior reports in this column: Much of the correspondence focuses on straw purchasing suspect Jaime Avila, and a memorandum from AUSA Hurley to his then-boss, just-resigned U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, specifically opens detailing Avila's connection to the guns found at the Brian Terry murder scene. Burke, regular readers will recall, filed a motion with the court in the Avila case to deny victim status to Agent Terry's parents citing lack of a link between Avila's straw purchases and their son's murder.

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report shows how "law enforcement" officials immediately tried to mask the connection between their gunwalking and the death of a Border Patrol agent.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS.

"GOP Insiders" for Obama

That's what they'll get if they try to foist that "assault weapon-banning" Mitthead on us. [Read]

Even if they do want to diminish unalienable rights as a trivial "social issue."

Conservative Action Alert

I'd just like to say that Mike, I and others could have never done this, this, this, this or this had it not been for Tony Adkins and his $175 fax blasts. I can't tell you how rewarding it is to see those efforts finally pay off.

Hello, ATF...?

I'd like to report a straw purchase... [Read]

What...? Go ahead with it...? Everything's under control...?

There Oughtta be a Law!

"Captive hunting for both native wildlife and exotic wildlife should be illegal," says the Humane Society's Casey Pheiffer. [More]
Why?

And if identical principles were invoked, why would slaughtering captive domesticated animals be permitted in Casey's world?

"Only in America"

Wouldn’t it be better to have local values and standards reflected in local rules? Isn’t home rule usually the best way to go? [More]
So let me get this straight--you're advocating elimination of all federal and state gun laws...?

Fincher services today

Thank you for all your help. Dad will not be released because there is no way to get him out of prison. There is not enough time. I want to thank you all for all your efforts. Thank you, Fincher Family [More]
I'll have more to say on this later. Now is not the time.

The National Spotlight

The last time Boundary County ended up in the national spotlight happened to be this little incident... [More]
Yep. It's only too bad this little incident didn't also make the national spotlight.

Words Have Meaning

"Botched gun sting"

Whose interests are served by this terminology?

Are yours served by standing by and letting it happen without challenge?
