How Do You Say 'Common Sense Gun Safety Laws' in Spanish?

Murders hit record high in Mexico [More]

Why, I'll bet we could come up with something to "corroborate" our talking points that 95% of their "crime guns" are due to lax U.S. gun laws!

Say, how about if we design an operation to "prove" that...? Hell, even if people die and we're caught, we'll just call it a "botched gun sting" and continue riding the gravy train.

We're the Only Ones Foot-Dragging Enough

The review finds fault with the speed of the agents' response to the evidence against the three Lancaster men. [More]

Hey, but then they couldn't have ensured the guns would turn up at a Mexican crime scene to feed the administration's narrative about U.S. gun sales.

Besides, the media can just refer to it as a "botched gun sting" and no one will care, let alone be held accountable.

Deja Vu All Over Again

 But after the two-day trial, and testimony from eight of the government’s witnesses, and only  one witness for the defense, the jury came back unanimously that the government had not provided enough proof of Santos’ involvement in the third-party gun scheme. [More]

The more things change the more they stay the same.

It sounds like they want to make sure they have a "botched gun sting" excuse for when things blow up.

I don't suppose anyone's interested in addressing a border you can drive an elephant through?

Point of Contention

Don't Know Much About History - New York’s Supreme Court brief on the Second Amendment is flawed. [More]

Far be it from me to challenge Prof. Halbrook's recounting of what was, but I will respectfully offer an alternative premise: New York knows exactly what the historical truth is and their arguments are not flawed, they are calculated lies.

Just like Gunwalker was not a "botched gun sting"...

UPDATE:

Halbrook then nicely deconstructs an anti-gun brief headlined by a "Vote Freedom First President" Supreme Court shortlister.

UPDATE: 

David Kopel weighs in with Amnesty International, a group that ought to know better than anyone about totalitarian brutality, siding with citizen disarmament.

Rest Assured

[Click to enlarge]

Anybody see anything worth Holder covering things up that's come out of this yet? This is the same deliberate indifference that's characterized "Gunwalker" since Day One.

Aside from advancing the absurd "botched gun sting" deception, anybody see anything other than double-talk coming out of ol' Buddy here?  Every time one of these guys (or Fairfax, for that matter) says "Rest assured," it's like code for you're being played.  Resting and trusting them to actually do something means nothing will get done -- which is the plan.

Yet again they have been given leads they have the power to follow, and yet again the deniers can count on cover from the glad-handers.

Rush Limbaugh Recognizes Buried Truth Behind Fast and Furious ‘Gunwalking’

Those guns ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels,” Limbaugh explained.

“So the way they do it is to try to create a mass hysteria,” he elaborated. “The program backfired because it was discovered.” [More]

Meanwhile, Soros-funded apparatchiks dismiss that as "wild conspiracy theory," and the mainstream press dutifully spreads the "botched gun sting" misdirection.

Unanswered Questions

Expect them to stay that way, and for anyone getting close to be ridiculed as a conspiracy theorist. [More]

What that does is, it allows "competing" conspiracies, including directed disinformation, to steer a detached public's short attention span away from actual conspiracies.

"Botched gun sting," anyone?

The NeverEnding Story

Border Patrol agents arrested a group of heavily armed Mexican nationals who illegally crossed the border into southern Arizona. The agents found three Mexican nationals who were carrying multiple weapons–including “assault-style firearms.” [More]

Any traceable to the "botched gun sting"?

Oops, Our Bad

Establishment media outlets repeatedly bungled their coverage of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, spreading misinformation as a result. [More]

"Bungled"?

Like in "botched gun sting"?

The lazy useful idiots no doubt amplified talking points, but the narrative being parroted was pure DSM.

"Not Evil Just Wrong" is a Groverian delusion.

If "three times" is "enemy action," what the hell is nine?

The propagandists weren't "pushing misinformation." They were lying on behalf of their handlers. For power. Over you, me and ours.

Et Tu, Breitbart?

The weapons were supposed to be traced to high ranking cartel figures, however the U.S. Department of Justice lost track of thousands... [More]

No they weren't and no they didn't.

Pretty pathetic and discouraging to see these guys buying into and promoting the "botched gun sting" line of BS.

A Mailing Flub

A non-profit group says more than a half-million inaccurate applications for absentee ballots were mistakenly sent across Virginia this week — including to dead voters, errant relatives and even a pet — in an unprecedented mailing flub that has heightened concerns about the integrity of expanding mail-in voting efforts [More]

Is that anything like a "botched gun sting"?

"Botched gun sting"

Whose interests are served by this terminology?

Are yours served by standing by and letting it happen without challenge?

'The NSA's Foul-Up'

Is that anything like a "botched gun sting"? [More]

It must be, since I don't see anybody facing obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence charges.

But hey, at least they have "sincere regrets."

So will the guy who plays Dustin do the full Monty and play grab @$$?

And will any of those "Authorized Journalists" they say they're benefiting ever acknowledge that as presidential scandals go, nobody died in Watergate? Or will those who mention Gunwalker at all stick with the "botched gun sting" lie?

Underpants Gnomes Redux

3. A society based on the liberties enshrined in the Constitution. So, what’s Step Two? [More]

Not the first time that's been used for an analogy by someone named Kurt...*

I agree with not being overly picky about fighting back using any chair at hand. That's why I've recommended stuff like RICO actions and "knew or should have known" civil suits against those financing subversives, among numerous other suggestions I doubt I'll ever see happen. I've actually been an advocate of using "the left's" laws against them for a long time and I'm sure I could come up with a dozen examples if I didn't have other stuff to do right now.

In terms of a broader and more detailed plan, lacking a crystal ball and, importantly, unified leadership with resources, I'm pretty much stuck in the same place as everyone else and must make do with hoping my preparations, alliances and reactive adaptations get me and mine through as far as they can against whatever "wicked this way comes."

'Flawed'?

Really? You think it was all a big mistake? [More]

You know something our source didn't?

I wish "conservative media" would stop pushing the "botched gun sting" line.

It makes them sound like "Authorized Journalists."

I'd be surprised if the latest revelations are a mistake, either.  When you learn you can get away with murder, what's the incentive to change?
