HMS Ontario was a British warship that sank in a storm in Lake Ontario on October 31, 1780, during the American Revolutionary War. She was a 22-gun snow, and, at 80 feet (24 m) in length, the largest British warship on the Great Lakes at the time. [More]

ATF whistleblower Cefalu calls on Romney to address Fast and Furious gunwalking

The Devil and Daniel Webster
"When you deny high-risk people access to guns, the evidence shows that saves lives," said Daniel W. Webster, director of Hopkins' Center for Gun Policy and Research and the report's lead author. "And when you regulate all gun sales, fewer guns get diverted to criminals." [More]Right Dan. Let's all be like Maryland, which "is among a small number of states that already restrict or prohibit gun ownership among the high-risk groups targeted in the report."
Let's go after folks who haven't been adjudicated prohibited in a control freak orgy.
Let's criminalize these "high risks"--and deny access to little scofflaws like this one. Or how about military veterans who are not yet 21?

What Newell gave no hint of was the involvement of his office in doing its utmost to ensure that would happen, and by the time he opportunistically used the media as his mouthpiece, we know from the Congressional Joint Staff Report on Fast and Furious subtitled “Fueling Cartel Violence,” he was masking his involvement in upping the numbers at the same time he was exploiting gun trafficking as a public relations tool.

The Paper It's Written On
And yet for all the hysteria, the Obama White House has shied away from taking the initiative in gun-control legislation, including worthy efforts to renew the 1994 assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. [More]I guess nobody at the Canadian-owned Crackron Leakin' Urinal watched the second debate:
Responding to a question from an audience member about reinstating the federal (so-called) “assault weapon“ ban, President Obama acknowledged his desire to resurrect the ban, falsely equating firearms with cosmetic similarities to military firearms as “weapons designed for soldiers [that] don’t belong on our streets,” repeating the standard anti-gunner ploy of conflating automatic weapons with the semi-automatic variants that was originated to confuse the public by the Violence Policy Center. Obama also let slip another target of interest that has long been a goal of gun-banners with his reference to “cheap handguns.”They've been guilty of that conflation themselves, and unapologetic about it.
They save all their apologia for the administration on Fast and Furious.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Why he has not to date is anyone’s guess, as it would certainly not only leave the president with no credible rebuttal but would also be too dramatic of a development for the media to ignore and suppress.

[More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner column tries to find a good reason why Romney and the NRA leadership won't do one simple and vital thing--especially since the alternative is to give up on Fast and Furious.

He got his first "Get Well" card today at the hospital and that pleased him, and I sent him some magazines as a respite from basic cable hell. He's flailing along, battered but unbowed and determined to continue--that he still finds humor is a real testament--I'm not sure I wouldn't be wallowing in self-pity bearing his cross.

Just got off the phone with Mike. He's been going through physical rehab, basically "push/pull" exercises, but nowhere near ready for balance therapy yet.
He's still waiting for information on that sourced scoop I mentioned yesterday and in the meantime has resumed working on "Absolved." Based on a brief post he made yesterday, he's got his work cut out for him, but in reality, work is his best therapy.
Speaking of rehab, another project he wants to get in shape to tackle is trying to fix up an old beat-up Yugoslavian SKS he owns, and he's interested in hearing from any of you with knowledge and experience you can share with him on that. Aside from by email, which as his friend I'm still trying to discourage, (along with still asking you not to post comments to Sipsey Street that he'll feel obligated to moderate), you can mail him stuff the old-fashioned way, but note he's been moved to Room 1111 at Trinity Medical Center (800 Montclair Road Birmingham, AL 35213).
In addition to well-wishing cards (and very helpful, especially at this time, voluntary subscriptions/donations) he'd really appreciate if some of us would send him gun magazines we've read and have no more use for.
