Good Question

So When Is Eric Holder Indicted? [Read]

Wrong answer:

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, was sending a letter to President Obama on Tuesday arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself, and requesting the president instruct the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel.

This Justice Department is in it up to its ears.

Re-up the damn Independent Counsel Act and leave it there for occasions such as this. Otherwise, why shouldn't we believe the fix is in?

Holder revelations contradict Obama’s ‘Gunwalker’ assertions

Did the president believe what he was saying when he said it?

Did Holder lie to his boss as well as to the House Committee on Oversight and Government reform?

Or might we have probable cause to doubt the implausible assertions coming from the Chief Executive? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes it's not just the Attorney General who appears to have a truth problem.

This Day in History: October 4

The riot, which began on October 4, 1779, after the British Army had abandoned the City of Philadelphia. Lawyer and Congressman James Wilson (1742-1798) had successfully defended at trial 23 people from property seizure and exile by the radical government of Pennsylvania. On October fourth, "A mob whipped up by liquor and the writings and speeches of Joseph Reed, President of Pennsylvania's Supreme Executive Council, marched on Congressman Wilson's home at Third and Walnut Streets. Wilson and 35 of his colleagues barricaded themselves in his home, later nicknamed Fort Wilson. In the fighting that ensued, six died, and 17 to 19 were wounded. [More]

Holder Lied, People Died

The man perjured himself in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. That is an impeachable offense and a prosecutable offense. [More]

Wow.

Now This Kind of Stuff Just Pisses Me Off

I don't say it because it's rude.  Don''t tell me I can't say it but someone else can.  Especially for such a bullshit reason.  [Read]

So naturally the vapid ignoramus calling for double standards thinks the earth is flat and Christians predated the Greeks.

And naturally, that's what it takes to be an award winner and an influence on millions of useful idiots who eat this crap up.

Gee, I wonder what  regular viewers "think" about guns...?

There Can Be No Peace Between Us

Between the insane Madame Robespierre and this piece of fascist crap, I can't say that I want it.

Can DOJ eliminate ATF?

But no sourced information has been received by this correspondent regarding outright elimination of the Bureau. And while others report they have received such information, there is one other important consideration that must be factored in:

Appropriations language. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner reports notes such a change would require an act of Congress.

Thank you.  Thank you very much.

Gun Rights Radio Network posts GRPC videos

They are long, as they captured the entire program of speakers--making  this an invaluable asset allowing those who could not make it to Chicago to attend a virtual GRPC. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column links to videos that will let you watch and listen to all the speakers as your time permits.

Freedo...o...o...o...mmm!!!

What does it mean?  Interesting discussion going on here.

I don't view the Constitution as the ultimate possible evolutionary pinnacle of social contracts--more like a starting point that we can't go under, a plateau from which new experiments can be tried.

Who's on First. What's on Second.

With interest.  [Read]

CleanUpATF speculates on imminent management shakeup

This assessment has also been shared with this correspondent by other sources, some hearing scuttlebutt that a partial realignment of senior executive staff may happen as early as today. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes some packing boxes may be showing up soon on the Fifth Floor...

Making Hay

Not that he'll have anything to do with those who baled it...[Watch]

Ahhh....

....no...o...o, I don't think I'd put one on my car...[More]

Sorry, Michael, I like a lot of your stuff but "experience hath shewn" 'n all that, and there are a lot of dangerous maniacs out there...

Readers here may feel differently though, so everybody feel free to disagree with me. I'm just speaking for myself--and yeah, one could argue I'm being inconsistent, but I think one is more likely to provoke an "official" response than the other...

First Person Shooters

"This doesn't make me happy at all," said Vicki Bash, owner of Shooters. "Any time you have people drinking, you never know how their personality is going to change. A real nice guy could come in and then all of the sudden he's drinking a lot and wants to take on everyone in the bar. But this law won't change anything here. Guns are still not allowed.

"My personal opinion is that the police are the only ones who should be carrying guns." [More]

Gee, Vicki, can I be informed like you some day?  I guess if your priorities are "Girls Gone Wild" and Jello shots, perhaps it's a clientele issue...

Although if someone inclined to ignore stupid signs wishes to take advantage of a bunch of disarmed drunks showing each other their tits, I guess maybe the name of Vicky's dive could prove prophetic...

We're the Only Ones Half Off Enough

Peterson is a 14-year veteran who bought a home as part of the federal Officer Next Door Program that allows officers to buy homes at half price to help fight crime in some neighborhoods. [More]

That oughtta federally stimulate home prices! Jeez, why not also offer Buy One Get One Free?

Any guesses on whether the incentive carries with it a legal duty to protect neighbors?

But say, why wouldn't that work if you gave the same deal to gun owners?

Sorry, you're not an "Only One."
