Project GunTALKER

Mark Walters has posted last night's Armed American Radio program.  I came on at the end of Hour 2 and stayed on for the Hour 3 "Roundtable."

Hour 1:

Fresh from the floor of the NRA annual conventions, back in the AAR Atlanta studio, Mark welcomes Niki Goesser, Stephanie Samford, and David Bray.  Niki gives us the latest news on her husbands murderer’s trial and conviction.  Stephanie, from the NRA gives us the update on the convention from St. Louis and David Bray, lead singer of rock band Madison Rising discusses the bands joint appearance at Galco Gunleather with Mark, Kathy Jackson and Rob Pincus.

Hour 2:

HUGE HOUR! Mark received a call from famed economist, author and Fox News Contributor, Dr. John Lott who was in between flights in Chicago. John and Mark discuss his new book, “Debacle” co-written with Grover Norquist. John pulls no punches discussing the failure of Obama and his policies as well as ties everything together with this president’s gun-hating agenda. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!!

Hour 3:

The Roundtable includes David Codrea and a very special call from AAR resident Navy SEAL, Larry Yatch!!!  David and Larry bring expertise found nowhere else!  The AAR Roundtable….the FUNNEST hour in national radio!

Credit Where Due

Oh no, this gentleman informed me (and I didn’t get his name, sorry, he split while I was fussing with my computer). Chris Cox had been on top of the situation for a year before David and Mike jumped in and used the information Cox had gathered to write their posts. [More]

It's all true.  I plagiarized everything I've ever written on Gunwalker from NRA--particularly most of the stuff appearing here. And Mike is sorry for that "weinermobile" crack.

Can they ever forgive us?

So When Will the Hilarity Ensue?

This snarky Bookman character isn't as witty as he thinks he is. [Read]

I'd like to see him use his smug sense of relevance to the debate on someone willing to slap his cheek or worse, that is, someone who initiates force as a matter of self-interest and without giving it one second of moral evaluation.  Such creatures do exist, you know.  All over the damn place.

I doubt it would be an NRA member, but possibly hilarity would ensue. Or maybe not.

No charges filed in Fast and Furious suspect’s drug and gun bust

Left unsaid about that is why no charges were filed, albeit the Fox report acknowledges a motive advanced by “critics...[More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report provides further corroboration, not only for yesterday's column, but for a motive advanced by those shining a light and disparaged by those trying to keep us in the dark.

I'll be joining Mark Walters on Armed American Radio tonight at 9:30 Eastern to talk about the latest Gunwalker revelations.

Vanderboegh Medical Update

This time he called me. That's a good sign.

He understandably sounds weak but says he's doing a little better than yesterday although it's "premature" to guess when he'll be able to get released from the hospital. He said he may post something later today.  I cautioned him against overtaxing himself, but acknowledged having the motivation to reengage may be the best medicine.

I still ask you to hold off on emails and Sipsey Street comments that he will feel compelled to address.  I've told him about the well-wishes and prayers, and he's very gratified.

Vanderboegh Medical Update

I finally got through to Mike a few minutes ago, after earlier calls to his phone, his wife's and the hospital room went unanswered and left me worried.

His response to my asking how he is:

I've been better. They haven't killed me yet.

He was tired but alert. I filled him in on some of what's been going on and passed along well-wishes that many of you, his friends, have asked me to share with him.

All in all, happy news.

‘Gunwalker’ suspect arrested for cocaine month before ATF released him

Now, Gun Rights Examiner has obtained a copy of the April 2 Phoenix Police Department arrest reports for Celis-Acosta and his alleged accomplices from a source who has provided corroborated documents in the past. Of note: A handgun was seen being thrown out of the suspects’ car before police arrested them, Celis-Acosta was “arrested for possession of narcotics, Class Four felony” for a substance that “field tested positive to cocaine,” and arresting officers reported finding “multiple shell casings on the passenger seat and the floorboard on the driver side and passenger side.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders just what the heck a gunwalker has to do to stay arrested.  Besides have his federal handlers get caught.

Stand Your Ground

What we’re seeing in terms of strategy on the part of doctrinaire anti-gunners is nothing new. They’ve always exploited anecdotal tragedies to whip up emotions, and then used that to go after our rights. [More]

My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch column is now online. It was submitted for print publication on April 1, thus the reference that "Zimmerman...at this writing has been charged with no crime."

Now That's Funny

I laughed. [Read]

'Stand your ground’ laws must be applied equally for all

Still, morally, are we dealing with the same circumstances and different outcomes?  [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column advocates for the radical concept of equal justice.

The Lie Behind the ATT

Paul Gallant, Alan Chwick, & Joanne D. Eisen continue with their great series of exposés on the global gun grab. [Read]

We're the Only Ones with a Firm Grasp of the Situation Enough

Good grief. [More]

The most telling part:

They had plenty of opportunities over the course of many years to do something about it and they refused to...

Yet they still released him on an unsuspecting public.

[Via more of you than I can shake a...uh...stick at]

There's an App for That

And they say there are no stupid questions. [Read]

Which, naturally, means there's a federally-funded "answer."

NBC Would Misrepresent on Guns?

Say it ain't so! [More]

We've come to rely on them so.

Besides, what incentive would "experts" have...?

Where Angels Fear to Tread

The HSI Special Response Team serves warrants and apprehends international criminals considered too dangerous for other law enforcement to go up against. [More]

Yeah, like deadly Minnesota hackers.

And ferocious California counterfeit software traffickers and embezzling technology company CEOs!

Watch out--this one's got a shotgun! Whew, that was close.

Just remember: They intend to go home at the end of their shift, and yes, whatever they do to get there will fall under approved department protocol.

You wouldn't be one of those rightwing extremists who have a problem with that, would you?

Stop the Threat

From American Trigger Sports Network:

A worker on his lunch break, returns from grabbing a fast food lunch and parks in a quiet parking lot. He is approached by a panhandler in an encounter that turns tragic.

Calderon Misfires

Kopel does a pretty good job here with what's on top of the table. [Read]

Me, I still think if the cartels wanted the guy dead, he'd be dead. Meaning no way do I believe his hands are clean.
