BREAKING NEWS: Grassley to Holder: Terry family deserves answers

I have obtained a copy of that letter and supporting documents, including National Tracing Center Suspect Gun Summaries, Suspect Person Information Reports and a Significant Information Report on weapons recovered at the scene of the firefight where Agent Terry was killed...[More]
In case you don't recognize a bombshell when you see one, this is what it looks like.

I cannot begin to say how important it is for you regular readers to help spread the word on this by sharing the link with not only all of your gun owner friends, but also with every media outlet you can think of.

If we'd relied on them, it would never have seen the light of day. Now it is being addressed at the highest levels of government and cannot be ignored.

Congressional Research Service can be used to expose ‘Project Gunwalker’

What did Mr. Churchill say about doing things while they’re still easy? [More]
Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column tells what you can do to help the Project Gunwalker investigation expose wrongdoing.  You want to help us do that, don't you?

And you'll share the link, too?

It also has a link to Trigger Sports Live! I'll be going on later this afternoon to talk about this.

We're the Only Ones Deliberately Indifferent Enough

The defendants sought summary judgment for qualified immunity, but a Detroit federal judge denied the motion as to four jail deputies, finding that they did not qualify for immunity because they purposefully ignored Bishop's pleas for help. [More]
One would think the same charge of deliberate indifference could be leveled against officials sworn to uphold the supreme law of the land who turn a blind eye toward infringements of basic guaranteed rights.

One would think.

Meanwhile, Down Under in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Darwin's Lord Mayor Graeme Sawyer has been found guilty of illegally possessing a replica gun and silencer. [More]
No worries, mate:
[N]o conviction was recorded for the offence.
Well tie me kangaroo down, sport. But after all, he is Lord Mayor.

It's not like they're going to let me Abos go loose, Bruce.  Or any of the rest of you lot, either.

Assuming this story is even true, if the little knife-wielding reptile now goes out and kills someone, perhaps Mr. Compassion can buy their survivors a nice dinner.

[H/T Of Arms and the Law]

At CIA, grave mistakes, then promotions [More]
Kind of like getting the Mexican attaché gig?

A Covered Wall

DOJ, ATF, and those involved need to remember that it wasn't the Watergate break-in that destroyed Richard Nixon. It was the cover-up. [More]
John Richardson gives a summary of the stonewalling.

Whose Paranoid has more.

Let's Hear it for Being Unreasonable

My liberties are not up for debate, discussion, or a majority vote in congress. [More]
A-yup.

Others are free to compromise their rights as long as they keep their mitts off mine. If they try and drag me along, I'll defy them just as much as I would the insatiable beast they're trying to appease.

A Searching Question

Why? [Read]

"I Guess I Just Don’t Get It."

That's pretty obvious. [Read]

ATF stonewalling highlights importance of getting answers under oath

There are many questions that require answers--under oath. One of the behind-the-scenes advisors Mike Vanderboegh of the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog and I have been relying on throughout the course of our investigation has come up with five of them that go to the heart of the matter. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report suggests ways the mortar between the stones can be eroded.

Share the link and help tear down this wall?

This Day in History: February 9

On February 9th, Capt. Wheatley went out on reconnaissance with 20 mounted Rangers, and Col. Marbury quickly got news of this patrol. He sent Capt. Cooper with 12 men. When Capt. Wheatley stopped to cook dinner, Capt. Cooper rushed the camp and captured them without any resistance. [More]

The Arizona We Don't Trust You Act of 2011

The bill was introduced late Monday by Rep. Steve Farley of Tucson and 19 other Democratic lawmakers. [More]
 Well, that's certainly a shocker.

Here's the bill.

Some suggest being tactful and polite in the face of such naked insults.

I'm not one of them.

We're the Only Ones Appealing Enough

Connolly's attorneys argue a 1982 Florida statute of limitations on second-degree murder expired because Connolly never handled the murder weapon. [More]
But note they don't say he's not a POS who doesn't deserve whatever he gets.
