We're the Only Ones Passing the Savings On To YOU Enough

A former Sheriff's deputy under indictment on a battery of gun and explosive charges may have sold numerous handguns he made from mismatched and illegally obtained gun parts, the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office revealed today. [More]
The amnesty offer reminds me of the story of the old man and the talking frog.

I'd rather have the gun.

Take Five

It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go in to a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them.

Then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years. [More]

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.

‘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?

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]

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.

Here's the thing about Metro's finest: If you're eating candy bars and french fries, that's one thing--chances are they can ruin your day and still go home at the end of their shift. Otherwise...

And by the way, "stalking" the suspect meant you wouldn't have been able to claim "stand your ground" if he'd turned on you, and you then had to use all necessary force to defend yourself. Not that you could in DC anyway...

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary opens up a line of credit.

Vanderboegh Medical Update: Good News

I just got off the phone with Mike.  He informed me that he's sitting up and had just finished "a strip of bacon, some scrambled eggs and grits, God love 'em," and was "awaiting judgment" on whether he would hold them down, but had high hopes as he was victorious yesterday over "spaghetti and meatballs and beef tips on rice."

He said "they're talking about letting me go home tomorrow," and had to hang up because his doctor came in the room.

He called me back a few minutes later and said he's scheduled to be released tomorrow morning and will be getting home healthcare visits from a nurse.

I observed this must mean they had the infection under control, and he said "We'll see, at least it's not progressing."

I also told him he sounded a lot stronger and more lucid, and he said that's because they've taken him off the medical marijuana so he's not stoned.  I'd forgotten to mention he was being given Marinol in my previous posts.

We then had a nice conversation about anti-Federalists, Patrick Henry and the strengths and weaknesses of the Constitution.

He tells me he may be doing some posts later today--I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

Half-an hour later...

He called me back with some info on a potential story I can't talk about now, which led into a 45-minute discussion on approaching political and economic storm clouds, and I am very pleased to note that intellectually, he's firing on all cylinders.  I'm very encouraged this morning.

‘Gunwalker’ suspect gave ATF and border authorities plenty of clues amidst lies

The ROI shows Celis-Acosta “recanted some of the details” he gave investigators when asked if he knew about “an AK type high capacity drum magazine loaded with 74 rounds of 7.62 ammunition underneath the spare tire in the truck.” It also shows an affiliation with one CHENDI, legal name Claudio Badilla-Jaimes, a Hispanic male originally from Sonora, Mexico, identified by DEA as a “large scale marijuana and multikilogram cocaine trafficker operating out of the Phoenix metropolitan area,” and per Celis-Acosta, a rich cartel member with law enforcement-type emergency lights on his truck who once chewed out Mexican police for stopping his son, asking why he was paying them.
