Why is White House blocking ‘Gunwalker’ testimony from former NSC director?

And we're supposed to believe the Special Agent in Charge at the heart of Fast and Furious "gunwalking" and the official who advises the president on matters of national security are just old pals shooting the breeze about border gunrunning--in emails that Newell took special pains to protect himself on? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report connects some dots and makes the case that Eric Holder is taking his stonewalling lead directly from the top.

Single-Handed

We talked about this earlier. They're giving him one gun back.  The other, they're still deciding on. [Read]

How nice, refreshing, and darn-near unheard of to see a mainstream reporter go to bat for gun owners.  Good job, Cindy George!

When Harry Met Elissa

“This response was based on my understanding of the state of federal law at the time." [More]
What, you're a frickin' judge, and you didn't know the Second Amendment is about "the right of the people to keep and bear arms"?

And Harry Reid wants us to swallow your backpedaling and put you  on the federal bench?

What more evidence does NRA need that LaPierre's "true champion of the Second Amendment" is an opportunistic, subversive partisan fraud, with a record that reflects pragmatic expediency as opposed to principle?

More on Yesterday's SAF Announcement

We linked to it yesterday. Now Eugene Volokh weighs in:
District Court Holds Second Amendment Applies Outside the Home, Strikes Down Ban on Gun Transportation During State of Emergency
Meanwhile, the irrelevant, desperate-for-attention antis are reduced to whining about NRA hoodies.  Hmmm...I wonder why their website doesn't mention this yet...?

Workman has more.

Furious Mike's* Self-Defense Tips

"Somebody's banging on your door and says, I'm going to come in and kill you...And this guy's got the gun out...You're better off not having a gun." [More]
Unless you're on Bloomingan's Island.
That's the police department's job.
Yeah, he said that, too. What, you don't have a taxpayer-funded armed security detail following you around?

Great "reporting" job there, "Authorized Journalists" Charlie Rose and Erica Hill. Your little brainwashing axis with Furious Mike is exactly what Eric Holder had in mind when he passed out the talking points.

Flying the Friendly Skies Redux

Jeez, no sooner do we get done flying business class and now we find our accommodations in disarray.

On top of that, the in-flight movie was unwatchable.

Just the folks I want peeping on, probing and groping my family.

Squatch-22

Despite being fined for lack of a permit, it would have been likely that Pruitt would not have been able to obtain one. [More]
And that's pretty much all we need to know about dealing with the federal bureaucracy.
