Sunday's Armed American Radio Program

Last night turned into an impromptu Round Table.  Host Mark Walters was joined in studio by attorney John Monroe of Georgia Carry and on the phone by George Hill (The Mad Ogre), and producer Sean Young. I came in at 8:30 and stayed on for two-and-a-half more hours, and in that time we were joined by Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America who had just gotten back from helping the shovel  brigade in Tombstone.

I haven't had time to listen to the podcast but I have the nagging feeling that I slipped up when I meant to refer to Atticus Finch when talking about shooting a mad dog and may have called his last name Stevens.  I don't know why I would have made that mistake, but I am getting old.  Maybe I didn't.  Who cares?

These are absolute, bald-faced lies. ATF has been copying FFL Bound Books for years – with or without FFL permission. During annual compliance inspections in other states, FFL dealers have reported that ATF industry operations investigators (IOI) brought in digital cameras and photographed the entire dealer “Bound Book” without permission of the FFL holder. Other dealers reported investigators brought in digital scanners and scanned portions of the Bound Book – line by line. Of course, the Bound Book contains the dealer’s full record of lawful firearm sales transaction records. [More] 

If it's not isolated and discontinued, as we've been led to believe, who can help amass documentation to see how widespread and long of a practice this has been/is?

Has a congressman just been lied to? Anyone willing to come forward and help prove it, or  is the specter of retaliation enough to keep this discussion confined to "gun blogs,"  the only ones with the incentive to press forward on a story like this, that is, with principled interest?

Just One Question

What do you think she'd be prepared to do about it if someone disobeyed?

Community Hero

Meet Alan Rosenfeld. [Read]

No wonder government and public sector unions want to raise taxes so you pay your "fair share."  And if you don't like it, you're a teabagger, you teabagger.

Man Visited by Armed EPA Agents...

The Root of the Problem

Each year, across the country, about 7,000 African Americans are murdered, more than nine times out of 10 by other African Americans. [More]

Y'know, I can conjure up a thought experiment where ol' elitist Chiefie here can show us by example how that wold work. Without going into further detail, it includes force initiators screaming "IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH???"

Oh, look: His mission is all about "securing a feeling of security and safety."  No wonder bleaters who make that their priority would trust it to this authoritarian meathead.

Two Approaches, One Solution

So why is my first thought lynx hair...?

Who Decides?

"The Latino community in Colorado can ultimately determine who ends up being the next president of the United States," he told KBNO's listeners. [More]

And the usual suspects, Democrats, SEIU, et al, are exploiting that for all it's worth.

I don't suppose circulating these would be an option...?

Let me know if relying on Google Translate was a mistake--I can do a quick turnaround text change if need be.

This Day in History: June 11

The enemy, by attempting to hold conquests so remote, must dissipate their force, and of course afford opportunities of striking one or the other extremity. [More]
