Yetta Yetta Yetta Goes Yadda Yadda Yadda

By placing those whose job responsibilities might call for firearm licensing (myself, other officers of the court and law enforcement like the Queens DA) alongside glamorous celebrities, you risk portraying guns as inviting, even fashionable...Instead of glamorizing or trivializing guns, I wish your paper would bring attention to important efforts to control gun sales around the country, including the efforts of our Mayor. [More]
Yetta Kurland, professional trained "Only One".

And you're not.

I mean it's obvious, just from her priorities:
Perhaps the greatest privelege I had while on the campaign trail last year was to be invited on stage with Rev Billy to sing 'we shall overcome' with Joan Baez. Joan kissed me on the cheek that night. I didn't wash it for a while...
OK then.

I suppose you could let this member of the elite know what you think.

This guy pretty much speaks for me.

Call to Action

Contact your two Senators and insist they filibuster any version of the "continuing resolution" which does not defund ObamaCare and bar funds for ATF's unlawful multiple gun sales registry. [More]
Sounds like a plan.  Besides, they should already know you from writing them about this, right?

Feast or Famine

The St. Gabriel Possenti Society, Inc. commemorates the February 27 feast day of St. Gabriel Possenti this weekend with a call for action...[More]
A collection basket protest to starve off contributions as a protest against anti-gun activism by Church officials will definitely get their attention...

We're the Only Ones Helping Ourselves Enough

Two State Police troopers and a Monroe County man were charged Wednesday with embezzling money, jewelry, drugs and other property seized from criminal suspects through a Monroe narcotics investigation...[More]
They're lieutenants, meaning they set the tone around the place, but no doubt the fact that there were only two of them validates the "few bad apples" hypothesis...

Anti-gun groups silent on ‘Project Gunwalker’

Since Henigan invoked Agent Terry’s name, let’s see if he’s capable of joining with some of those “courageous officers” he lauds who have put their necks on the block to do the man’s memory justice. I call on him and Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke to issue a public statement demanding full and public Congressional hearings... [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks a loudmouth why he being so's tight-lipped.

Also read a very good "Gunwalker" report from The Shooting Wire.

Shout, shoot or wire the link over to your friends?

Gunwalker too big to ignore any longer

They're even talking about it in Knoxville, thanks to Liston Matthews. [Read]

Media Doesn't Matter

At least Media Matters doesn't.

Nice to see Kurt take on that fool, and expose him for what he is.

Great timing there, Chris Brown, you boob. On the same day CBS News aired their story.

Sucks to be you.

But you already know that.

“Project Gunwalker” scandal is breaking wide open

Here's a summary from Steve D. Jones, the Fort Smith Gun Rights Examiner. [More]

The Truth is Out There

Project Gunwalker: Word on the Street

You know which street. Here's the latest:

Gun group to Holder: Investigate ‘Project Gunwalker’ or step down

"If Eric Holder is not willing to hold ATF officials accountable, he should resign." [More]

Today's second Gun Rights Examiner report notes yet another national gun group adding it's weight to demands for a full and complete "Project Gunwalker" investigation--of course, in this case the primary investigative tool may just well be a mirror...

Speaking of adding weight, there's still a lot missing from this...about 800 Lbs. or so...

We Now Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled "Project Gunwalker" Coverage...

I just remembered Concerned American asked me to share this link yesterday...[Read]

Always glad to do what I can to promote author Matthew Bracken...

Can't wait to get the time to read this latest interview. Of course, I'll also need to find the time to familiarize myself with his latest book...

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to the task at hand. These guns won't walk themselves...

CBS News brings 'Project Gunrunner' scandal to the public

Detroit Gun Rights Examiner Rob Reed shares his thoughts. [More]

Gun group calls for House investigation of ‘Project Gunwalker’

Please use this briefing paper, get it to your representative, demand to know what he intends to do about it, and let him know if his answer is anything short of what is expected of a leader, you will make his evasion and equivocation on this matter of basic truth, justice and decency known at election time.

Tell him just like that.  [More]
Today's first Gun Rights Examiner report gives you a tool to help get your representative involved. Will you pick it up and use it?

Also get another read on this from another Reed, check up on yesterday's deadline news, and then go watch a rerun.

Share the link?

All Project Gunwalker All the Time

As you might well be able to imagine, yesterday's CBS piece has created a whole new set of demands for my attention, and that was just the tip of the iceberg.  There are many more exciting developments happening with this story, and it's going to take every bit of time I have just to keep up with basics on it.

Don't expect me to focus on anything other than the immediate task at hand for a while--pressing onward with this story.

Please understand if I don't answer emails or respond to tips, at least for today and who knows...?
