Another Simple Way to Help

Go here, scroll down and enter text similar to the above along with this link.

Also note the "Gunwalker Man" linked graphic in the WoG sidebar.

Look, I'm going to be a pest about this for the next month, because screaming and stamping feet is the only tool I've really got, and it's what resulted in others finally paying attention to Mike's and my incessant noise-making.

The fact of the matter is, the other side wants to make a citizen disarmament propaganda piece, they get funded.  And they get plenty of free publicity...uh..."news stories".

We don't have that luxury. If we want something done, in this case a truthful narrative, we have to do it all ourselves as a grassroots action, meaning we need many, many small contributors doing what they can.  A link from Drudge would expand the reach on this by more than an order of magnitude.

Tomorrow I'll probably have another bright idea I'll bug you with. Speaking of which, have you written that letter yet? See, I don't do this so that people can just consume, maybe leave a comment and then move on. I do this so people will become force multipliers and their own agents for change.

No one can say I didn't do my best to discourage that. What a thing to expect someone who's been through what he has to deal with.

I hope every single person who just couldn't wait is at least a financial supporter.

‘Blood on their hands’ seeks to document truth about Fast and Furious

That said, the film may not get made. Funding for documentaries has always been difficult to obtain without well-resourced backers, and interest in the film community and among their foundation and individual benefactors in exposing the government’s part in sanctioning “gunwalking” is practically nonexistent. In order to deal with that reality, McNulty has turned to us. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks those who say they want to see justice done just how much of their own skin they're willing to put in the game.

Armed American Radio for April 22

Armed American Radio with host Mark Walters has posted it's Sunday show on their website.  Here's the breakdown:

Hour 1:
Tampa’s Talk 860 WGUL’s Joe Weaver joins Mark to discuss the mayor of Tampa’s intention to ban guns within a “clean zone” during the 2012 RNC convention.  North American Arms’ Kenny Barlow stops by to discuss the NAA mini revolvers!!! These things are proof positive that you have NO EXCUSE EVER to be unarmed!  AAR is a HUGE fan of these incredible little firearms that can be carried whenever you might not otherwise be able to carry a gun.  Get it?
Hour 2:
Alan Korwin joins Mark and Tampa’s Joe Weaver to bring unbridled truth about your CCW rights and the assault that gun owners find themselves under.  No one tells it quite like Alan.
Hour 3:
The Roundtable.  Joe Weaver from Tampa’s Talk 860 WGUL, David Codrea, Mark and producer Sean give commentary on the weeks events.  The Ogre stopped by but alas, we couldn’t seem to make a phone connection.  Next week.
 As long as you're on the internet anyway, why not have these playing in the background?

Homer Simpson's Dumber Brother Redux

Let's see...hunters (that would be you, silly Ms. Fuddette) could keep their weapons  in an armory (I told you they'd be coming for you if the line falls back), we could keep one registered gun in our homes subject to annual fitness evaluations, and collectors would have to render valuable pieces "unfireable"...[Read]

Simply put, domestic enemy Dan Simpson, the answer is "No."

The longer answer is two words, starts with "F" and ends with "you."

A Matter of Priorities

'Arms are serious issues, and countries should have effective tracking and monitoring systems in a foolproof database,' Dr. Cyriaque Agnekethom, Head of the ECOWAS Small Arms Unit, stated. [More]
Cool. He's speaking about a country where almost 45% of the population makes under a dollar a day and he'd allocate resources to this kind of impossible, prohibitively expensive  nonsense. 

I'd just bet Cyriaque here hasn't been missing any meals lately...

Fuddettes for Citizen Disarmament

I’m a hunter and a sportswoman. I own guns, but not for self-defense. I support gun control laws. [More
 And this useful idiot oberkapoette  really thinks if the line is forced back to where she "stands" that Polyphemus won't eat her last?

Trucker accidentally transporting ammo to Mexico highlights inequity in laws

This is hardly the same treatment given to Mexicans last year when “military trucks…loaded down with soldiers and weapons” ended up on the U.S. side of the border. 

It’s also not the first time a case of negligently transporting ammunition to Mexico has created severe legal problems, in this case, a lifetime disability on the “prohibited persons” list for Thomas Lamar Bean. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a disparity in treatment and that there are those who want it that way.

An Untapped Resource

Jones thanked Powell for working with ATF to encourage youth and young adults to report violent gun and gang crime anonymously to ATF’s hotline at 1–800–ATF–GUNS. [More]
Anonymously?

Hello? ATF? I'd like to report guns being walked to Mexico...

Vanderboegh Medical Update

Just got off the phone with Mike. He had a rough night last night, described as "two steps forward, one step back," which at least beats the other way around. He was in the car being taken to the doctor--there are some things the home health care folks aren't set up for. He's interested in what's going on but not prepared to do much about it at the moment. Let's hope and pray that changes soon, and the up/down ratio gets bigger on the front end.
