Truth about Operation Wide Receiver important to determine

Among these misconceptions being repeated: that no Wide Receiver guns “walked” to Mexico because they were all controlled deliveries; that no one was killed; that the Mexican government was fully informed; that RFID tracking devices were placed in all the guns; and that the program was shut down at the first sign of danger. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report cautions that sometimes the truth is inconvenient, but we really shouldn't want it any other way.

An 11th Hour Release

I've been expecting this shoe to drop calling John Dodson's credibility into question since April. [Read]

Curious they release it just now.  Not really. It's tactical.

I wish I could say more, but I don't have permission to release rebuttal information yet.

CNN again.  Remember that.

Radio Days

  • Tina Terry will be on Rim Country Forum's annual "Fourth of July" Freedom-lovers radio show, 1420-AM KMOG, tomorrow at 9 a.m. Arizona time with host Stephanie Landers to talk about the Declaration of Independence and liberty. 
  • I joined host Bill Frady last night on Gun Owners of America Radio to talk Gunwalker and lots of other stuff.
  • I'm going to be on Kenn Blanchard's The Urban Shooter podcast tonight--actually, we'll record it and it will be posted next week (#275)--I'll announce a link when it is.

Pulling Out the Stops

Workman elaborates on the CCRKBA alert. [Read]

We talked about it yesterday--have you called your representative yet?

I just got off the phone with mine's office.  The ever-useless Steve LaTourettesyndrome hasn't shared with his staff how he's going to vote yet. I gave her several reasons why that ain't good enough and pledged to spread word of his inexcusable lack of anything remotely resembling leadership on this.

A Sneak Attack

Dan, your advertising background, you know, of being a professional liar is showing. [Read]

Right--openly introducing an amendment to a bill is a "sneak attack."

I like this new Brady head.  He looks like he's even more incompetent than Paul Helmke was, and that's a good thing.

"Under the Radar"

How could we possibly trust someone controlling an explosive-filled guided missile weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds with something as deadly as... a handgun? [Read]

Can you imagine being such a mind-crippled paranoid that you don't trust Latinos with silverware?

A Duty to Act

There is no reason to attempt to avoid the vote.  The fast and furious scandal is the most significant and obscene lawlessness in any administration in recent history, and maybe ever in American history.  Congress has a duty to act.  [More]
Which makes those trying to obstruct that duty more than derelict.  It makes them co-conspirators.

Acknowledgment

Gun rights advocates including David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh wrote extensively on the controversy and rumors surrounding Terry's death, and the allegation that ATF was attempting to "bump up its case numbers" by letting large numbers of guns "walk" into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. [More]
It's nice to see this coming out in a more widely-read place, and for more than self-aggrandizing reasons.  Obscurity helps keep important stuff buried, and constantly having to bang pots and pans takes energy and effort that could be better applied to digging.

Don't Give Them What They Want

See, Colin? There are other options.

Oh Shut Up, Amital, You Collectivist Fool

That someone this fundamentally delusional is the norm in academia, whether it's an act or not, says much. [Read]

Nice to see CNN, which has made virtually no contribution to uncovering Gunwalker truths, and which blew the opportunity to get in on the ground floor with insufferable arrogance, continuing to guarantee a downward credibility spiral.  I wonder if they've crossed the event horizon/point of no return?

Gunwalker WAS a Paranoid Conspiracy

On July 14, 2010, roughly five months before Agent Terry's murder, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, ATF's Phoenix special agent in charge of Fast and Furious. "Bill," the email read, "can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time? We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun sales. Thanks." [More]
As per their MO, the dark side projects.

What, Hoyer's from Missouri Now?

"Show me." [Read]

Your side has been asked first.  By subpoena.

My read: Stonewalled documents would provide the contextual framework to make what the Committee has bulletproof against worm-tongued "interpretation."

Until then, twist in uncertainty, Steny, and keep wondering what you dare publicly utter without having to eat it later.

Besides, we all know what he's really after. And the "Authorized Journalists" are there to accommodate him and help him redirect the focus away from the guilty.

Urgent Action Alert on Holder Contempt Vote

I don't normally do this, but I'm tired.  And this needs to get out. So I'm just pasting the whole thing:
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO VOTE ON ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER CONTEMPT CHARGE Your urgent action is needed on Holder contempt vote to be held Thursday, June 28th. Anti-gun rights Attorney General Eric Holder is facing a Contempt of Congress charge as a result of his refusing to comply with the subpoena to turn over all documents relating to the botched "Fast and Furious" gun running sting that were demanded by Rep. Darrell Issa's Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Congress has repetitively asked for accountability in relation to the death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry, the firearms recovered at the scene of his murder and over 2000 guns that are still missing. REMEMBER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S URGENT CALL FOR THE REINSTATEMENT OF THE EXPIRED "ASSAULT WEAPONS" BAN. REMEMBER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S FALSE CLAIM OF 90,000 GUNS RECOVERED IN MEXICO BEING FROM THE U.S. The Obama Administration and Eric Holder's Justice Department have been adamant in communications with anti-gun groups that their gun control agenda would be advanced "Under the radar." In the moments before Darrell Issa's committee were to vote on Attorney General Eric Holder's contempt, the Obama White House issued a proclamation of "Executive Privilege." It is important to note that Attorney General Holder and the Obama Administration denied any knowledge of "Fast and Furious" until new evidence surfaced. WHAT YOU MUST DO AS A LAW ABIDING GUN OWNER TODAY.CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN TODAY AND POLITELY INFORM THEM TO HOLD ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER IN CONTEMPT. USE THE LINK BELOW TO FIND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE'S PHONE NUMBER. http://www.house.gov/representatives/ Help the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms send a message that our rights as citizens cannot be manipulated by failed and legally questionable programs such as "Fast and Furious." 
 Do this. And spread the word.

And the Walter Duranty Award Goes To...

...this disgusting wretch.

Claire has infinitely more patience than I have.

Thinking about this, it's actually not such a bad thing--because it is firing people up and they're holding CNN, which has been derelict on reporting F&F, accountable.

Good.

I almost hung up on an arrogant CNN producer weeks before ever speaking to CBS--he came in all self-important like the pros have arrived, and if we gave him our sources he'd decide if there was a story they wanted to cover.  So let them instead keep company with the likes of this Granderson thing and deal with the consequences.
