We're the Only Ones Triumvirate Enough

A Danville police officer was arrested Friday on suspicion of drug and gun offenses, becoming the third law enforcement official in a month held in the widening investigation of a Contra Costa County drug task force chief and a high-profile private investigator, law enforcement officials said.

I guess depending on who you talk to, they represent either a few bad apples or else a spate...

We're the Only Ones Unretentive Enough

Police believe the gun fell out of an officer's holster during a foot chase of a suspect... [More]

If this could happen to a highly-trained officer, isn't it time we admitted guns are just too dangerous for you and me? And until such time as someone invents a device to keep this from happening, we can expect such tragedies-in-the-making to continue.

That's ONE Way to Find Out...

I'd venture many of us are aware of this.

Perhaps this is a good way to find out who probably can't resist before setting up an "interview"?

Ask Chuck Grassley

Guess who's now my new e-BFF?

And yes, of course I know it's not really him but a staffer. Still, we can find out some good information.

Like this:

How about it, those of you who are social media-savvy?

A Beverly Lawmaker

Great idea there, State Rep. Bill Cunningham (D-Chicago), you dolt. [Read]

Create a whole new class of "prohibited persons" based on the say-so of academics and administraitors.

Hell, why not include Democrat party and SEIU officials among those authorized to point and scream "Witch!" too?

Congressional Marxists Think Gunwalker...

...a great reason to speed up citizen disarmament. [Read]

Make no mistake: Those "spearheading" this are domestic enemies. Literally.

There can be no peace with them. They will not allow it.

We're the Only Ones Approaching the Bench Enough

NC bill would allow prosecutors to carry concealed weapons in courthouses [More]

Because we all know officers of the court have better judgment and morals than you and me. 

‘Project Gunwalker’ now ‘an international incident’

The big question now?  How will Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handle her end of things, now that State has been irrevocably dragged into Project Gunwalker? [More]

That's actually a HUGE question.  Provided enough of us raise enough of a ruckus to keep this from being buried.

You'll help do that, won't you?

I mean, who wouldn't like the idea of also opening this up to the House Foreign Affairs Committee?

Oh...yeah, that's right...

This Day in History: March 7

Sir: Your Letter of the 15th. Ulto. was handed me by Captn Beall. That you may not be embarrassed for want of money in reinlisting such of your men whose times of service have expired or will soon terminate, I have given a warrant to Captn Beall for 15,000 Dollars for this purpose and that of filling up the corps by new recruits. You will proceed in reinlisting agreeable to the terms and principles established in the general orders, which accompanies this letter. [More]

Issa silence on ‘Project Gunwalker’ enabled by NRA inaction

In the week when CBS News aired two follow-ups to its groundbreaking “Gunwalker” reporting, including an on-camera interview with a whistleblowing agent and a phone interview with Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s sister, in a week when The Los Angeles Times ran the story on its front page, and the story has been picked up by CNN, the BBC…

...NRA issues a nationwide “alert” to its members that mentions not a word of any of this, let alone any call to action. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column demands leadership from those who claim to be our leaders. 

Grassley: Federal officials made whistleblower feel like skunk at picnic

“The ATF agents who spoke with my staff warned their supervisors that this kind of risky operation would get someone killed,” Grassley writes. “Tragically, they were right. [More]

This just came to my attention so I thought I'd call it to yours.

As some in media pick up on ‘Gunwalker,’ others remain (intentionally?) clueless

Meanwhile, it would appear regional management is stepping up to follow the marching orders from ATF’s chief of spin to “proactively push positive stories this week, in an effort to preempt some negative reporting, or at minimum, lessen the coverage of such stories in the news cycle by replacing them with good stories about ATF.” OregonLive.com reports ATF’s Kelvin Crenshaw has released the Kraken and “proactively pushed” on cue...

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column demonstrates the difference between reporters and "Authorized Journalists."

BREAKING NEWS: Another CBS "Project Gunwalker" Report Tonight

TONIGHT ON THE "CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC":

Sister of Slain Border Agent Murdered by Guns Linked to ATF Reacts to CBS News’ Interview with Agent

Tonight on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC (6:30 PM ET), Kelly Willis, the sister of murdered U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, responds to John Dodson, the ATF agent who risked his job to speak with CBS News about the agency’s practice of letting guns “walk.” Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson uncovered “Fast and Furious,” a secret case in which the ATF allowed guns to be purchased in order to track them, build a big case, and take down a major Mexican drug cartel.  Two assault rifles the ATF let go as part of  this strategy were found nearly a year after purchased at the scene of Terry’s murder.

Agent Dodson spoke out in an exclusive interview that broadcast on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC on March 3. When asked by Attkisson about what he would say to Terry’s family, Dodson said, “First of all, I'd tell them that I'm sorry.  Second of all, I'd tell them I've done everything that I can for them to get the truth.  After this, I don't know what else I can do.  But I hope they get it."

Tonight, Terry’s sister responds. Following are advance excerpts from tonight's broadcast.  MANDATORY CREDIT: THE CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC.

Kelly Willis: “You know, within the first five minutes after that was finished airing, my whole family members, we all called each other just in tears that somebody, sorry I'm going to cry…that somebody would put their job on the line like that for my family to give us the information that we need. And that right there was the whole break in the case for us. Sometimes you can't believe everything you read but when someone actually puts the truth to it in person like that it shows us that all our thoughts and speculations are true.”

Sharyl Attkisson: “What have you been told officially about what happened to your brother, where the guns came from, what bullet killed him?”

Kelly: “Nothing. We have been told nothing.  Every time we have a question they can't answer it. Nothing.”

Sharyl Attkisson's follow-up report broadcasts tonight on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC, and can be found online at www.cbsnews.com.

CBS interviews ATF senior agent on 'Project Gunwalker'

Last post today. Go watch the video.

I'm going to go have a cigar and about three fingers of the good stuff.

CBS News to air 2nd ‘Project Gunwalker’ segment and Grassley writes Holder again

But the agents who objected within their own agency were repeatedly rebuffed, they were told to keep their mouths shut, to stop complaining about it, in one case we have an internal email that describes a supervisor telling somebody ‘If you don’t like it you can go work for the Maricopa County Jail—if this isn’t fun to you then you can go find something else to do.’  [More]

Plus read Sen. Grassley's latest to Eric Holder, where he flat out tells him "the Justice Department's denials simply don’t hold water.”

Pass this link to everyone you know. And watch tonight!

Now back to work--there is more breaking on this.

Also don't forget--tonight at 8:00 pm EST I'll be doing a live chat.

Rumor confirmed: Murdered agent Terry armed with beanbag rounds

So of course this means the government also knows which gun was used to kill Agent Terry. That the Justice Department refuses, as yet, to confirm that points to the same intentional stonewalling that kept the beanbag information suppressed for so long.

Officials who do not want information about the circumstances of Agent Terry’s death and about wider “Project Gunwalker”* allegations to come to light are engaging in a cover up. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the government's response so far isn't worth a hill of beans.

Also watch a rerun, join a chat, witness a proof and find out why I've decided to muzzle everyone but myself.
