BREAKING NEWS: HELL FREEZES OVER!
That's the key to this mess -- and the reason that Operation Fast and Furious might turn out to be the biggest Washington scandal since Iran-Contra.The New York Post publishes a kick-ass Gunwalker column that doesn't call for more citizen disarmament and power for government.
As Issa and Grassley note in their letter, had the other agencies shared information -- theoretically the goal of the post-9/11 revamp of the intelligence and law-enforcement agencies -- "then ATF might have known that gun trafficking 'higher-ups' had already been identified."
So if the identities of the Mexican criminals were known to the feds, what was the point of Project Gunrunner -- and why is Holder so desperately trying to stonewall by withholding hundreds of documents from Congress?
Law-abiding gun owners and dealers think they already know. With the Obama administration wedded to the fiction that 90 percent of the guns Mexican cartels use originate here -- they don't -- many suspect that "Fast and Furious" was a backdoor attempt to smear domestic gun aficionados as part of its stealth efforts on gun control by executive fiat.

Obama: Good U.S.-Mexican relations demand we spare guilty and let innocent die
How telling that he does not place his emphasis or concern on an operation conducted under the authority of his administration that has resulted in estimates that up to 150 Mexican nationals may have been killed—people who were never given due process and their day on court, that is, people who are legally innocent.

This Day in History: July 5
July 5, 1779 at New Haven, Connecticut - In July, Maj. Gen. Sir Henry Clinton decided that he was fed up with the activities of Connecticut in Long Island Sound, where the Americans had continually harassed and ambushed his supply boats and raided across to Long Island. On July 5, he landed British detachments on either side of New Haven, and marched on the town. The local militia came out, and a body of students from Yale contested the British advance, but the locals were not in sufficient strength to offer more than nuisance resistance. The town was plundered and several prisoners were carried off.

The act of the General Assembly passed on June 22, 1779, which established the Virginia Land Office, also provided for the awarding of bounty lands for specified Revolutionary War military service. The purpose of the bounty land system was to encourage longer military service. In order to qualify for bounty land, a soldier or sailor had to serve at least three (3) years continuously in the State or Continental Line or State Navy. Militia service did not count. The process of obtaining bounty lands was lengthy, and, in many cases, land speculators acquired the right to the land from the veteran or his heirs. [More]

Cain’s ‘in your face message’ still does not face gun questions
I hope no one from your campaign thinks you’ve been misrepresented here, Mr. Cain. Not only did I acknowledge the opinion that we needed to cut you some slack because you “slipped up a bit,” I actually sent you a series of questions that would leave no room for anyone to misrepresent your position on guns. I gave your campaign a chance to be nontraditional, to address sensitive subjects, to be atypical and to enter the belly of the beast. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner column notes asking a candidate specific questions about their positions on fundamental rights should produce answers, not anger.
Standing Room Only
There's a new 9th and10th Amendment ruling from SCOTUS. Here's the decision.
CliffsNotes version as I understand it after a fast scan: A woman tried to get revenge on cheating hubby's preggers f-buddy by putting "caustic" chemicals (household items?) on sweetieskank's mailbox and door handles, causing minor burns on her "old fashioned" delivery system (if you don't watch South Park, forget it). This apparently violated US Code, the particular section of which was written to implement an international treaty/convention on chemical weapons development, production, use and stockpiling. You know, something to keep Saddam from gassing Kurds and the FBI from...never mind...
Anyway, Woman Scorned challenged that on 10A grounds and the lower courts told her she had no standing and now the Supremes unanimously say she does.
Did I get it right?
And if so, what does that bode for this?
[Via several of you]
CliffsNotes version as I understand it after a fast scan: A woman tried to get revenge on cheating hubby's preggers f-buddy by putting "caustic" chemicals (household items?) on sweetieskank's mailbox and door handles, causing minor burns on her "old fashioned" delivery system (if you don't watch South Park, forget it). This apparently violated US Code, the particular section of which was written to implement an international treaty/convention on chemical weapons development, production, use and stockpiling. You know, something to keep Saddam from gassing Kurds and the FBI from...never mind...
Anyway, Woman Scorned challenged that on 10A grounds and the lower courts told her she had no standing and now the Supremes unanimously say she does.
Did I get it right?
And if so, what does that bode for this?

Excellence in Broadcasting
I understand Rush Limbaugh opened today with Gunwalker.
As I've noted before, that's great. Someone with his reach can really get the word out.
There is one bit of information that two separate people have told me: They were under the impression he implied he originated the term "Gunwalker." If that's the case, I need to correct my wrong assumption, because I've been telling people I did.
Easy enough to explain--it's probably a pretty common reaction that a lot of people would independently derive. Still...

UPDATE:
RUSH: That's what we called it back on March 4th. We came up with our own name for it: Operation Gun Runner or Gun Walker.

Personally, I'd have picked "Terrible Tyrants" for $400, Alex.
And I'd like to call them all down to play another round of "Catch It and You Keep It!" (7:08 on Side One)
Hyperpartisans
It's not a partisan issue. [Read]
Anyone who says it is is either a deluded zealot or an evil, shameless liar.
After reading this subversive drivel, I vote for hyperprevarication.

We're the Only Ones Just Happening Enough
"If we hadn't gone, it would have been negligent," he said. "These things happen." [More]True. If you hadn't gone it would have been.
But that's no excuse to allow your vicious beasts to attack a citizen before determining if he's really a threat. And that goes double for your damn dog.

This Day in History: June 20
Townsend had a good reason to be in Manhattan, and was readily able to provide Washington with good naval intelligence because of his job as a mercantile clerk. Townsend and Woodhull distinguished their dispatches by adding the phrase "Senior" and "Junior" to their dispatches. Townsend began sending reports on June 20, 1779. [More]

Is the Second Amendment check against tyranny obsolete?
There are those among us who would decry the right to keep and bear arms as being the product of a different era, as being outdated, no longer relevant, and an actual detriment to life, liberty and happiness in our modern era of "enlightenment." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary scolds an ignorant "Authorized Journalist" for berating a better man.

It's the JOHNNYCAKE Man Who ROLLS
The GUNWALKER Man RUNS. [Read]I hope he doesn't make a habit out of taking early morning canoe trips.
I wonder if he's let his bosses know there's an envelope secreted away somewhere to be opened in case he can't...?

Patrol Rifles
Words have meaning and power, and can be used especially insidiously when the intent is to prompt opinions from people who don’t even know they’re being manipulated—and that can include naive journalists. [More]Or ones who damn well know better.
My latest Guns Magazine "Rights Watch" column is up.
As is the complete digital edition.
Wide Receivers
That cramming caused the antennae to be folded, reducing the effective range of the tags. [More]That and the smugglers being followed knowing it, and running around until the surveillance planes run out of gas...
