OSHA shooting range ruling points to agenda besides worker safety

While workplace safety ought to be a paramount concern for any employer, and while the list of citations provides a blueprint for corrective actions needed to regain compliance, a review of the detail of some of the cited instances, such as picking up a shell casing without gloves, shows that achieving a clean bill of health free of any subjectively-assessed violation may be impossible, and that such audits could be used to effectively close down gun ranges using fines to make their operations unprofitable.

Armed American Radio to Talk Vanderboegh Bombshells

Here's the latest press release from Armed American Radio, copied and pasted in its entirety:

For Immediate Release

Armed American Radio to report during Sunday 6-17-2012 broadcast on possible high-ranking whistleblowers within the Department of Justice and revelations that a murdered ICE agent was investigating Fast and Furious.

Atlanta GA- June 15th – Award-winning citizen journalist and blogger Mike Vanderboegh along with regular AAR contributor and award-winning journalist David Codrea, join host Mark Walters to blow the lid off of Eric Holder’s and Janet Napolitano’s cover-up of Operation Fast and Furious on nationally syndicated Armed American Radio this weekend. (AAR is nationally syndicated on the Salem Radio Network) 

Vanderboegh and Codrea, the two men who originally broke the story now known as Operation Fast and Furious, will discuss claims from “multiple previously highly credible sources” that at least one, and possibly two high-ranking sources from within the Justice Department have “come in from the cold” seeking whistleblower status and “hold the keys to the kingdom”…with knowledge of Eric Holder's actions before and after" the 4 February 2011 DOJ letter denying that the DOJ and its subordinate agencies knew about ‘gunwalking’.” 

In a second bombshell revelation, Vanderboegh reports that murdered ICE agent Jaime Zapata was investigating Fast and Furious weapons—despite Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s sworn testimony that there was no connection. 

Armed American Radio is one of the fastest growing talk radio shows in America, and the fastest growing pro-gun show in the nation. AAR airs live nationwide every Sunday from 8-11pm ET, 5-8pm PT. Each week Mark Walters discusses the right to carry a concealed firearm, training, tips and carry techniques, the politics of the right to bear arms and the responsibility that law-abiding citizens have to carry a firearm for their own defense.

On the Other Hand...

This is the kind of anger-fueled killing that might only be prevented by not having a loaded pistol in your possession. [More]

Then again, if the guy who got shot and killed had produced one, the whole thing might have been prevented when the assailant realized his actions would not be risk-free...


Typical stupid argument for no one having guns--ever.  Do these people ever listen to themselves, and if so, are they so self-deluded that nothing that conflicts with their pre-programmed routine gets through?

Blogger Vanderboegh reports murdered ICE agent investigating Fast and Furious

While the weapons found at the Zapata murder scene were not from among the Fast and Furious guns, this revelation is profoundly significant, because it directly contradicts sworn testimony by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there are liars, damned liars, and administration officials.

Four Against One

The disarmament advocates portray themselves as the arbiters of what's "reasonable" as they throw out their tired old lies about "paranoia"--especially considering what referee-with-money-on-the-game Alex Wagner is on record advocating.  [Watch]

Nice of a whole panel to gang up on one person.  I know the feeling.

And what's with that creepy smirking eyebrow raise Dan Gross does?

We're the Only Ones Preventing Enough

Police Supt. Garry McCarthy pointed out earlier this week that there were similar mob attacks last summer, and his department was able to get the problem under control. He said he believes they’ll be able to do it again this year, and it’s a matter of making sure his officers are where they’re supposed to be, to prevent these incidents from happening. [More]

The things you'd have to believe to buy that line of crap for one second...but then again, consider the source.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

This Day in History: June 15

Whether or not the Americans already suspected Arnold by this point is unclear. It is certain that by June of 1780, the American leadership was intensely suspicious. Tallmadge wrote to the Governor in charge of supplying West Point on June 15, 1780, warning to expect a sudden strike, with insider knowledge. [More]

Another Great Fast and Furious Video

We talked about CCRKBA's new video offering the other day. This one deserves to go viral, too. It's very powerful, very compelling, and packs a lot of message into one short minute.

Reese Family Update

As a follow-up to yesterday's GRE:

Yesterday was a great day for the family. The attorneys' for the defense of the kids did a GREAT JOB. Out of three motions they only got through (1) which was conspiracy against the government, straw purchasers, money laundering, smuggling etc. The judge was very attentive and very detail- oriented of all the issues brought forward by the government. The attorneys were able to bring up how the government agents lied on federal forms to try to get the kids to make a mistake so the feds could trap them. The judge could see what they were up to and didn't like it. The newspaper reporters were right on top of that story; the article should be out today in the paper. The motion hearing lasted until after 5:00 o'clock . We watched the news last nite, but they were not on last nite. Whenever there is anything on this case the news always picks up the story. So look for it today ,the other two motions for dismissal are reset for July 12th 13th, one of the motions being dismissal of the case. 

Here's the story from Las Cruces Sun-News, the only other account posted in Google News at the present besides my piece.

Speaking of Trash...

Yes, the "Authorized Journalists" at Pensacola News Journal, "a Gannett Company" along with USA Today,  is actually advocating that expecting candidates to tell you where they stand on issues before entrusting them with power is "McCarthyism." [Read]

Do you think they know they're just cynically appealing to the ignorant and the hive-minded, or do you think the slobbering loon publicly fluffing for tyranny actually swallows what he wrote?

Blogger Vanderboegh reports 'game changer' DOJ whistleblowers have come forward

Sources described as "previously highly credible" and "close to the Gunwalker investigation" are claiming "one and perhaps two sources within the Department of Justice headquarters...have approached the Issa Committee seeking whistleblower status," Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars blog is reporting this afternoon in an exclusive story.
