Youngkin at Heart

He must be one of us!
Richard Cullen to leave McGuireWoods to serve as counselor to Youngkin [More]

The same enemy inside the gates who said this?

The proposed restrictions have also received strong backing from Richard Cullen, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who says gunrunners consider Virginia a "handgun supermarket."

"They come into the state and go into a store and buy handguns by the dozens, with hardly a question asked," Mr. Cullen said. "Then they haul the guns north and sell them on the street for cash or drugs at profits of 300 and 400 percent. No other East Coast state has gun laws as lax as Virginia's laws -- not South Carolina, not Georgia, not Florida. Nobody. This has to stop."... "New laws aren't the answer to this problem," said S. Vance Wilkins Jr., the House minority leader who is a major opponent of restrictions on gun sales ... Mr. Cullen disagrees. "We've tried everything else," he said, "and now we've got to take extra steps."

And this?
U.S. Attorney Richard Cullen, a Republican who joined forces with Democrat Wilder to boost the idea, said passage of the bill "will have a substantial impact on gun trafficking out of Virginia."
I hate to say "I told you so."

The Non Sequitur Queen

 As the stabbing of Amess makes all too clear, the problem of politicized violence is endemic around the world. But in the United States, this problem is exacerbated by our tragically lax gun laws. [More]

Why can't I get a Sesame Street song out of my head?

Notice she and her fellow grabbers will never commit to what laws they would consider "adequate."

Terry FOIA Request to State Dept. Closes Leaving More Questions than Answers

 

By not allowing the truth to be known, and by ensuring that those responsible will not be held accountable, the incentive never to do it again has been reduced. That’s especially dangerous to gun owners noting the same lies that led up to Fast and Furious are once more being repeated by those who share the original goals, of blaming Mexican cartel slaughter on what they publicly call “lax American gun laws” [More]

Still stonewalling after all these years...

So Much for 'Common Sense'

Another Victim of 'Gun Violence'

Armed robber killed by man with gun [More]
It doesn't matter to the grabbers, because the name gets added to the list regardless.

Y'know, they're right-- things do look "disproportionate."

Could something other than "lax gun laws" and "systematic racism" be factors, and wouldn't someone who truly cares about making a difference want to know?

Speaking of Separating Families...

Heavily armed hitman of rival El Chapo cartel is arrested over Mormon massacre after a stand-off at the US border where he held two HOSTAGES as heartbreaking photos show devastated relatives visiting the scene of the massacre [More]
Damned lax American gun laws!

Don't expect this to change.

Or this.

Any gun owners still out there putting it all on the line for that idiot Ammon Bundy?

UPDATE--Tangentially related:
A tiny cabal of government contractors, mostly religious groups cloaking their profit-seeking in compassion and Scripture, perpetuates the refugee resettlement racket. Openly hostile to American sovereignty, these people spread their tax-subsidized syndicate's wealth to a vast network of subcontractors, often tied to billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundations, which promote global governance and unfettered migration espoused by the United Nations, European Union and Vatican.

A-yup.

To Market, To Market, To Buy a Fat RPG

According to a 2016 report from the Government Accountability Office, 70% of firearms seized in Mexico and traced by authorities originated in the United States. Guns legally bought in the U.S. civilian market are trafficked illegally, primarily over the southwest border for use by criminal elements. High-caliber rifles and shotguns are particularly popular. [More]
Yeah, "the U.S. civilian market" must account for "the M249 SAW light machine gun and a shoulder-fired rocket launcher." And the "mounted .50 caliber M2 machine gun."

Remember when they were flat out insisting 95% of all Mexican "crime guns" come from gun stores and gun shows and were directly attributable to "lax U.S. gun laws"?  We saw where that led.

And they're still trying to weasel-word that impression?

Of Course You Realize This Means War

Five police vehicles were traveling through the municipality of Aguililla in the early morning when they were ambushed by more than 30 armed individuals, according to a statement from the Michoacan state prosecutor. [More]
But...but...but...

Must be those damned lax American gun laws again. And if this isn't an argument for unchecked "migration," I don't know what is.

One word of warning: Malwarebytes blocked CNN's link to the prosecutor's statement due to a trojan.  I wonder how many of their loyal readers they just helped infect.

Speaking of Trends...

Holden was a convicted felon, and background check laws prevented him from purchasing a firearm legally. So he came up with a workaround that federal authorities say is part of a statewide trend: He recruited a friend to purchase guns in a place with fewer gun restrictions than the Bay Area — in this case, Las Vegas, Nevada — and bring them back. [More]
With an average time-to-crime of 11.7 years, methinks the "pipeline" is clogged.

And what they're not saying, because that doesn't help them gin up the "OMG we need to grab guns everywhere!" hysteria, is that "not all firearms traced are used in crime," and that California, with its draconian disarmament diktats, was the source for 17,397 firearms in 2017, and "lax" Nevada was only the source for 1,554.

But hey, when you've got an agenda, nothing spooks the herd quite like anecdotes, right, Mercury "News"?

We Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

Gun crime rises in Canada ...This has far more to do with immigration policy than it does with gun control. [More]
I'd argue they're both major factors. Not that the grabbers won't blame "lax American gun laws"...

Hey, maybe they can sue us in "International Court"...

Show Trial

Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman was a ruthless criminal boss who ordered hits on his own loved ones and his weapons of choice included a diamond-encrusted pistol and a gold-plated AK-47, a court has heard. [More]
Damned "lax American gun laws!"

South of the Border, Down Mexico Way

Tijuana Breaks All-Time Homicide Record amid Cartel War [More]
Boy that one gun store must be busy.

Oops, my bad. It's "lax U.S. gun laws."

Hey, that pretext almost worked before.

You know, we could use more of their "commonsense" disarmament edicts up here.  But we'll need to get more vibrant to make that happen.

South of the Border, Down Mexico Way

Mexican authorities seized 50 AK-47 rifles, 6,500 ammunition rounds, a jeweled handgun, tactical gear, and cash hidden inside a tractor-trailer headed for southern Mexico. [More]
If they're semi-autos, it would be interesting to see if there's a Fast and Furious tie-in. If they're real AKs they're automatics, meaning they're being obtained from sources other than within the U.S. That would further demonstrate the fraud that our "lax gun laws" are what cartels take advantage of in order to arm up, and that the entire premise behind walking guns was a damnable and premeditated  lie.

Most of the guns are coming up the same way all those "refugees" the Mexican government is trying to flood us with (in violation of their own immigration laws) do.

Remember this?

How about this?

Some of us do, but not enough.

Some of us are still demanding answers.

But not enough.
