Welcome to the Party, Pals

 There is also a question as to whether Hunter Biden committed a felony when he bought the firearm. Politico obtained copies of the Firearms Transaction Record, and a receipt dated 11 days before the incident. In response to a question on the form that asked “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Hunter wrote “no” despite his history of illegal drug abuse and his discharge from the Navy Reserve five years prior after testing positive for cocaine. Lying on the form is a felony, though prosecutions are very rare. [More]

You don't say. 

Several of you have asked me about this and noted a familiar pattern. Stephen and I are following up on my FOIA and will have more information soon.

It's good news, no doubt, and something those of us with our own skin in the game welcome, but I wouldn't start claiming victory until the war is won.

A Lesson to Be Learned

 Marley is facing charges of: 6 counts of Possession of Firearm or Knife During a Commission of or Attempt to Commit Certain Felonies and 5 counts of Criminal Attempt to Commit a Felony. [More]

So appropriate laws addressing actions already exist then.

It's the Demographics, Stupid

 It’s in no small part due to the changing demographics and voting behavior of Georgia and Colorado that gun reform is on the table in Washington at all.  [More]

It's revealing who recognizes that reality and who continues to refuse to.

Delay of Game

 A bunch of you have sent me all kinds of links about the Atlanta "spa" killer and attacks on Asians and I told you I was doing an article which was the reason I was not posting all those tip links here on WoG. Well, I've been wrapped around the axle on a lot of other stuff, starting with being thrown off pace by the Terry FOIA, Boulder, and then having some other assignments and priorities come up. 

So don't look for anything soon. I still have a draft with lots of source material but I'm not going to be able to get to it for a while. I just didn't want anyone thinking I took their interest in this blog for granted. There's only one of me and I'm continually reminded of what V.I.N.C.E.N.T. said.

 And before "Fast & Furious" there was George Bush's "Operation Gunwalker". Similar in that agents of DoJ - ATF in this case - coerced and threatened firearms license holders if they did NOT break the law. [From a Facebook comment]

Sorry, no.

And I've had to correct even "professionals" on the origin of "Project Gunwalker."
