Now THAT'S What I'm Talkin' About!
Foreign Correspondence
I just got an email asking if I've approached the foreign press on "Project Gunwalker," as they may have reasons of their own to pick up on it, and many Americans consult them for their news.
Basically just the Mexican press--but here's the thing--Mike and I are maxed out dealing with this--what you see published is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of our involvement and time we're putting into this behind the scenes.
Any reader seeing a way to help spread the word is encouraged to do so and see what develops from it. We need supporters acting like independent force multipliers.
Thanks.

With Friends Like These...
It's tough for me to fathom how anyone could be this witless and ignorant. [Read]
I appreciate what Michael is saying about education, but this strikes me as something you shouldn't need formal training on to realize it's a bad idea. I've never taken a class that informed me drinking liquid Drano or sticking my hand down the running garbage disposal are things to be avoided, either.

FWS Gets the Lead Out
Federal Agency Bans Lead Ammunition for Depredation Hunting of Birds [More]
If they presume authority do this in this case, other government agencies can presume authority do it in others.
Another fed agency with an "acting director"...I guess that's one way to keep them unaccountable.

‘Project Gunwalker’ protest can help kill ATF’s long gun reporting proposal
It’s clear by now that informing the public on the implications of “Project Gunwalker” is not (yet) a media priority. That’s why it’s up to those who have been following this story to continue calling attention to it, and here’s another way to do that... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes if you want something done, you'll have to do it yourself.
The only question: Do you?

More silence in Seattle on ‘Gunrunner’ inquiry, while Ceasefire eyes gun shows
[A] briefing was scheduled today in the “other Washington” with members of Sen. Charles Grassley’s staff regarding the “Project Gunrunner” sting operation that now appears to be linked to the murder of a federal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent. [More]Dave Workman brings us new information in the ongoing "Project Gunwalker" story.
[A] meeting with staff members and, presumably someone from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, was on today’s agenda.I'd have loved to have been a fly on that wall. Hopefully Workman will be able to give us an update on what transpired. Stay tuned.
Must Be an Exclusive Scoop or Something...
In a letter sent on Wednesday to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, complained that the response to his Jan. 27 letter containing the allegation has “been little more than delay and denial.” [More]Really?
How do you know, Brady McCombs of the Arizona Daily Star? Surely you learned it from somewhere...?
The Mark of the Beast
The "666" and "Mark of the Beast" in the title of today's column are not really intended as a theological reference--it's just a handy coincidence that "six hundred threescore and six" happens to be the number of firearms going to Mexico that BATFE's operation seems to have "lost" (just as part of "Operation Fast and Furious") [More]The power of Kurt compels you...:)
Sen. Grassley: Time For ATF To Come Clean
It seems clear from Senator Grassley's response that he is not impressed by Assistant Attorney General Weich's categorical denial or the warning to drop the investigation. In fact, the very last part of the letter is the most poignant as it includes a personal plea from Agent Terry's Stepmother...[More]T.L. Davis once more summarizes where we are to date. Make sure you share his link. We need everyone pushing this story to the media and to your representatives.
Isn't it something that we have to? But there it is...

We're the Only Ones Knocking But Twice Enough
A former Walpole police officer, who resigned after being accused of stealing repeatedly from a supermarket, was hired recently by the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Department because the sheriff believes he “deserved another opportunity.’’ [More]Well, they say character is very important in law enforcement, and he certainly does sound like one. Thank goodness this isn't indicative of something being wrong with either his morality or the way he thinks--otherwise, if that manifests itself in a way where a citizen is harmed, why, the taxpayers could be sued!

I'd like him to hold a press conference. As soon as possible.
There are a few questions I'd like to see asked. And there are some people who deserve answers to them.

A Reasonable Gun Owner
Neil Dickson owns a gun. But he says there should be tighter regulations, more gun control laws. On Monday afternoon, he voiced that concern to his congressman, U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-4.Really, Neil? Anybody? Easily? Automatic?
"Ownership should be earned. It's a privilege," said Dickson, vice president and branch manager at Stamford First Bank. "Anybody can easily buy an automatic assault weapon. There should be required training and extensive background checks before people are allowed to own a gun." [More]
Do you have any idea what an ignorant quisling you sound like?
Perhaps any gun owner who does business with Stamford First could explain it to you as he closes all accounts and takes them elsewhere.
Or explain it to your bosses...
NOTE: For some reason the paper decided to remove or relocate this story, so I relinked to Google cache.

How do they put it in "Only Onespeak"? Oh, yeah:
[A]dministrative violations may have occurred and that they stemmed from voluntary interactions between a small number of officers and non-departmental individuals...Think Sweetie's gonna buy that line...?
