ATF to grant ‘Project Gunwalker’ FOIA inquiry ‘in part’

This will have been vetted with intense scrutiny by a Department of Justice that has proven itself artful at withholding information and stonewalling. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders which parts won't be granted.

Because Lynne and Liz Cheney are such noted Second Amendment authorities.

I guess there's no better use that the kind of dough they're asking for could be put to...

I wonder if they'll be keeping the riff-raff out of the Blog Bash again this year...?

Resistance is Futile!

I always thought that this argument was hogwash. [More]
As opposed to arguments that are unimaginative and cowardly? Or those of a subversive who knows what he's doing?

The ignorance-based arrogance, if that's what it is, is a two-edged sword.

On the one hand, it's to our advantage in a basic Sun-Tzu kind'a way--that is, if he truly doesn't know those he would make his enemy.

On the other hand, if that fear he ridicules and disparages ever loses its restraining power, that will make things a whole lot more dangerous for everyone, because people who don't fear an "or else" take risks they otherwise would not.

An Ounce of Prevention

The plan I am supporting is, in my view, common sense. And it respects the constitutional rights we all share. [More]
No it's not. It's ridiculous.

And no it does not either.

Anything else you care to be wrong about?

Obviously We Need Stronger Gun Laws

The mother told investigators she did not want to press charges against Hachero, because she had recently been accepted to several Ivy League colleges. [More]
Yep. It's not like there's anything else at play here.

I mean, it's not like weakling mothers producing, enabling and virtually guaranteeing amoral entitled little sociopath monsters has anything to do with anything.

Interesting, where the gun is said to have come from...

Anti-gun campus cop displays 'Only Ones' elitism

If we’re to follow Sgt. Stucky’s “logic” to its inevitable conclusion, and if we accept that the place for guns is not the classroom, we must also accept that there is no place for guns in any public setting—at least by non-“Only Ones." Because any danger “unofficial” armed adults would pose on campus premises would apply to wherever they are. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report  looks at someone who considers himself just plain better than the rest of us when it comes to keeping and bearing arms.

This Day in History: March 29

A letter, of 25, from Baron Steuben was read, accompanied with a system of regulations for the infantry of the United States; also, a letter from the Board of War, representing that Baron Steuben, inspector general, has formed a system of exercise and discipline for the infantry of the United States; that the same has been submitted to the inspection of the Commander in Chief, and his remarks thereon and amendments incorporated in the work: that it has been examined with attention by the Board, and is highly approved, as being calculated to produce important advantages to the states; and therefore praying "that it may receive the sanction of Congress, and be committed to the press..."

Origins of ‘Project Gunwalker’ important for media to understand

This is bigger than mere self-interest, although of course that plays a part.  There is a story here about how the establishment media has, for the most part, ignored a scandal that works against their agenda.  There’s a story here about how two mere “bloggers” with virtually no organizational resources or “official” credentials, beat the press at its own game in uncovering a major scoop—a potentially significant indicator for “new media’s” role in the shape of things to come. And there’s a need to ensure that others in the major media outlets at least are aware of who they can talk to if they want to understand the unfolding evolution of this story. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary makes the case for giving credit where it's due. It's a shame the case needs to be made at all.

This Day in History: March 28

WHEREAS certain Persons, stiling themselves Delegates of several of his Majesty’s Colonies in America, having presumed, without his Majesty’s Authority or Consent, to assemble together at Philadelphia in the Months of September and October last, have thought fit, among other unwarrantable Proceedings, to resolve that it will be necessary that another Congress should be held at the same Place on the 10th of May next, unless Redress of certain pretended Greivances be obtained before that Time, and to recommend that all the Colonies in North America should chuse Deputies to attend such Congress, I am commanded by the King, and I do accordingly issue this my Proclamation, to require all Magistrates and other Officers to use their utmost Endeavours to prevent any Such Appointments of Deputies, and to exhort all Persons whatever within this Government to desist from such an unjustifiable Proceeding, so highly displeasing to his Majesty.
