"For instance, there are email responses from the Chicago Field Division with a tag line about never quitting based on the SEAL ethos. A source identifies this as coming from Andrew Traver, who has been nominated by President Obama to be the Bureau’s director. That would place him directly in the decision-making loop on the 'Gunwalker' response." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report reminds us to ask some questions before asking for a vote.

Traver ‘up or down’ vote must include Fast and Furious answers
And Now You Know...
...the rest of the story. [Read]
Good job digging for the backstory, but y'know, it really doesn't matter to me.
If I didn't do it, don't blame me for it. Don't use your loss to attack me. I can't think of a quicker way to destroy any natural sympathy and replace it with enmity.

The ABCs of Hard-Hitting Gunwalker Reporting
[More]
See, that's why intrepid investigators like Jason Ryan here are"Authorized Journalists" worthy of a national media forum. The rest of us clumsily covering this just don't have the sense of proportion to grok what's truly relevant and important about this story that people need to be informed about.
We mere bloggers can quit now--Jason's got all the essentials covered.

As always, I'm jealous. Hell, I bet I hate every bit as much as Mike does.

Imported from Detroit
The all-new 2012 Militia, built tough and built to last. [Read]
When you see urban denizens making statements like "We got to have a little Old West up here in Detroit. That’s what it’s gonna take,” see how self-defense is enjoying unprecedented popularity because it works, and note how the whole concept of the "Only Ones" is viewed as "a joke," perhaps hope for a resurgence of some sort is not entirely futile.

A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing
And, I mean, I can only speak to the reporting, but people all the way up to the attorney general knew what was going on.” [More]Here's the thing: If the federal "intelligence" apparatus is so finely tuned they can swoop down on a British tourist tweeting jokes from "Family Guy," what do you think the odds are they would be oblivious to an unfolding story that threatens to reach into the top levels of the administration? And how is it some guy in Alabama and another one in Ohio were getting and documenting all kinds of continually-corroborated information--for months--while the subjects of their reports remained blissfully unaware?

The Happy Truth
For gun-control proponents, the sad truth is that no effective gun-control measure has even a remote possibility of being enacted in the next Congress. Republicans, who regardless of what Obama does, are certain to maintain their majority in the House... [More]But some would have you believe if you don't abandon all principle and vote for Mitt Romney, the destruction of the Republic will all be your fault!
And in terms of court appointments--the Senate doesn't have to approve anyone. If another Kagan or Sotomayor is offered up, tell yours to just say no--or else. Which mean, tell NRA you expect them to give any "pro-gun Democrat" who approves an anti-gun nominee an automatic "F," because, in truth, anyone who would support someone that destructive to RKBA deserves it.

Land bought the six-acre tract in 1991 and later built a private, recreational shooting range on the back two-thirds of his property. He began firing machine guns on the property around 1996, a few years before developers starting building Stonegate, a community of 260 homes nearby. [More]Game, set and match--in a rational world.
Here's something I'd like to know:
Another firearms expert hired by neighbors, however, found that the danger of stray bullets "poses an unacceptable safety hazard" to residents.I'd love to find out who this quisling is so the firearms community could shun him.
