Media response to ‘Project Gunwalker’ story practically nonexistent

A paper with a “conservative” reputation has finally noticed. It’s one of the few media outlets that have reported on this developing story, and focuses entirely on a major story that broke on Gun Rights Examiner a full six days ago. Other “mainstream press” organizations covering this to date can be counted on one hand.  [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the absence of interest--not necessarily in the story, but in making it known.  This is the reason I constantly ask for links to be shared. 

How about it?

Don’t put wire on your windows – it might hurt burglars! Villagers outraged after police order them not to protect garden sheds [More]

This is my shocked face.

I thought they had already established an open door policy.

Where the hell do they think they are, New Jersey?

Meanwhile, Over in Furious Mike Paradise...

Gelman is accused of stabbing three people to death...[More]

Are they sure they don't mean "spate" instead of "spree"?

The main thing to take away from this story: Furious Mike, Paul Helmke, Josh Horwitz, Josh Sugarmann, Carolyn McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Frank Lautenberg, every member of the Congressional Progressive and Black Caucuses, et al., would all rather see you and your loved ones brutally, terrifyingly and agonizingly stabbed to death by a maniac than armed.

They really would.

Swiss voters firmly rejected a referendum that would have forced soldiers to end the longstanding practice of keeping army-issue firearms at home and tightened restrictions over civilian gun ownership. [More]

Who but a traitor or a fool would push the alternative?

Define "Pressing"

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren is pressing for the White House to come clean with the family of a slain Border Patrol agent and provide details about his death. [More]

Hey Greta: Here are some details.  He even uses the phrase "come clean," so it would appear you share a common goal.

And here are some more details.

I see you're more than eager to give plenty of exposure to Pravda DC's crusade to exploit the Mexican situation to implement a new domestic "assault weapons" ban.

Care to live up to that "fair and balanced" claim?

Press, Greta.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes it's a funny thing about some people who don’t trust the rest of us with guns…

Also, I'll be on Tom Gresham's Gun Talk Radio and Mark Walters' Armed American Radio shows this afternoon and tonight discussing "Project Gunwalker."  Links to listen live via a local station or your computer are included.

Cartel Gunmen Steal All of Town’s Police Weapons
(Xalapa, Veracruz)  The Veracruz municipality of Rafael Lucio, nestled in the mountains, had all of the police department’s weapons stolen by an armed group of gunmen.  Now the municipal mayor of this town of 7,000 people, has refused to equip the 13 officers with replacement weapons. The Secretary of Pubic Safety has denied the municipality even has a need for weapons. [More]

See? You don't need to set up any elaborate cross-border scheme to have it happen...
