Unfolding Sharpton snitch scandal could overshadow Yee allegations
Assuming their sting activities are over so the FBI can no longer dismiss inquiries using an "ongoing investigation" excuse, this would appear to be the type of law enforcement operation that cries for oversight hearings. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes if the guy was given a pass, someone in the administration probably had a hand in it. Why not pull the thread and see who?
And what exactly does Obama mean by "No justice, no peace" anyway?

Surprising Critics
We want a police officer to be able to take any gun, his partner's gun, a criminal's gun, any gun, and use that gun to his advantage. If he is in a scuffle, and he gets a criminal's weapon and it's useless to him, we've got a safety problem. [More]The FOP, of all groups, has a novel consideration...
As Long as We're Doing Comparisons...

A "Progressive" Tax
Can the government seize your tax refund to pay a relative's debt? [More]Well, since the Constitution no longer matters, why would proscriptions against "corruption of blood" be an impediment?

"...violent people cause violence.” [More]Fine and good, but his "there isn’t a constitutional amendment that says we have a right to have a car" assertion shows the guy needs to stick to his field of training.

As for gun sales "plummeting," all kinds of things besides a "new law" factor into when "law abiding" gun owners reckon they have enough -- and as for those who go outside "the system," be they outright "real criminals" or simply those who have had it with obeying tyrants, it's a combination of wishful thinking and a lie for the antis to assert they've got a valid handle on those numbers.

FAA ‘no fly’ zone over Bundy ranch reminiscent of Waco
With the potentially explosive situation developing in the area, the situation is quickly becoming reminiscent of the federal siege at Waco 21 years earlier, particularly noting how the Branch Davidians hung a banner pleading “God help us: We want the press” as the government kept the media at a manageable distance from Mount Carmel for reasons if its own. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes in spite of reports of BLM standing down, the “no fly zone” can keep things dangerous.

I have written to captain Pray, that if the brig and boats remain at anchor against his post, to move up with his boats at night, and take his station at Kings-ferry; or if he cannot get by them, to haul his boats over the bank where they can be defended.

Holder ‘gun safety’ plea belies true ‘common sense reforms’
In terms of another argument brought up in the Free Beacon piece, that such guns could also be tracked using GPS, it’s not unfair to note that when the Department of Justice was in a position to track guns it knew were being trafficked to violent criminals, it instead turned a blind eye and allowed thousands to “walk” to Mexico. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the bracelets this lying domestic enemy ought to be concerned about are the dumb kind, that don’t recognize their user and that operate with a key.
