“The government did not charge him with possession of a machine gun, or gun smuggling, or with the total amount of drugs he smuggled, or alien smuggling, or any of the other crimes he admitted to on the stand,” the report continues. “Roman admitted numerous times he is hoping for a reduced sentence for his participation in the New Deal case.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column channels Charles Laughton to challenge a chronic and habitual LIAR!

Records don’t back witness for the prosecution in Reese gun case
When the Time is Right
You know, after November 6. [Read]
Then Katie bar the door. A lame duck Obama will be just as dangerous as a triumphant one, and in either case, we won't need radar to see the incoming bogeys.

About Last Night
Here's the video.
Candidly, it could have gone better.
We were surprised, had no idea they were going to bring Lis Wiehl on to debate us so were caught unprepared for that (the producer sent us an email late in the afternoon, but I was already on my way to the studio, and being a fossil with a clam-shell "dumb" phone, I was unaware of it until I returned home). I was glad to see I didn’t appear as totally flustered as I felt, but I'll confess I was apprehensive about watching the results.
Then again, they’re pros and we’re expected to be able to field anything hit our way—next time, and the producer said they’d be in touch, we'll be expecting the conversation to include such parrying, and now that we know they hold such viewpoints, we can be better prepared.
This is real different from talk radio, where you have time to explain yourself, and there was one point where I wanted to respond but backed off so Mike could talk. It's very strange being picked up by a car, getting the Bondo treatment by a makeup artist, sitting unnaturally upright, staring into a lens and getting all your inputs from an ear bud. At this point, I haven't been able to overcome butterflies beforehand, surreal muddleheadedness during and shoulda-saids after. People who do it all the time make it look easy, but it is not, at least for me.
And oh yeah: It was 6,000 rounds, Lis, not 60,000.

'Shooting Death' Kabuki
A Land Without Guns: How Japan Has Virtually Eliminated Shooting Deaths [More]
Say, here's an idea: Why not compare and publicize how gun-free Japan does to, say, the NRA, with a population of 4 million of the most heavily-armed citizens on the planet?
But then, that would effectively kill the argument that it's the guns, wouldn't it?
Unscientific AND UnAmerican
You know, publicly positing a hot button hypothesis with absolutely no supporting data to justify it, when a cursory glance at their own graphics leads to the conclusion that if there was any validity to their concerns, the results would be inescapably obvious and easily measurable...[Read]
The only reason there's heat in the imaginary debate they're trying to mix up is because someone with an agenda on their mind instead of science is f-ing around with the Bunsen burner.
You're paid to think, Mr. Scientist.

It also tells us something that with the media in a full court press feeding frenzy stumping for more gun control, this ruling comes down--in Maryland, of all places.
Kudos once again to SAF. If you support their efforts, you'll help build the war chest needed to make further progress possible.

'Lou Dobbs Tonight' Redux
"Lou Dobbs Tonight" asked us back on this evening on Fox Business at
Tonight Mike and I are quite understandably going to talk more about Colorado than Gunwalker, but if I get a chance to insert something relevant into the discussion, I will. That kind of format is over before you can blink though.
If you missed the last time we were on and want to see it, I wrote about it and posted the segment here.
UPDATE: We were both surprised they brought on that prosecutor and didn't realize it until we heard a female voice coming through the ear bud--I found the email advising me of it when I got home--my old clamshell phone is for calls only. I'll admit it flustered me a bit and led the conversation into territory we hadn't anticipated, but hey, that happens, this is live TV without a net and it was a good learning experience.

Gee, that's some argument you pose there, you yapping ignoramus, as you presume to teach while not having the prerequisites to even be in the class.
I love it when these regressive know-it-alls and their lemming followers trip onto their smug faces right out of the starting gate. Seriously, catch some of the comments. Good grief.

Reese Family Updates
Here's some raw stuff from the family spokesperson from shortly before and after this piece:
7/13:
7/13:
As you obviously know by now, the Trial is set to commence on July 17. There will be 120 prospective jurors from which to choose!! It will probably take 2 days. Accordingly, the trial should start on the 19th of July. The Judge informed us that friends and family would be unable to sit in the courtroom, as the prospective jurors would take up the entire seating area. A suggestion was made to have the audio transferred to another court room where the family and friends could be seated. The Judge stated he would "look into it." He will be ruling on the Motions before him yesterday, byMonday at the latest! Rick, Ry and Rem have all been transferred to DACPF (Las Cruces!). They are all together in the same Pod!! Thank you for your support and concern . It is truly appreciated!7/17:
Terri called this afternoon about 5PM. They were out of Court; and the Jury has been selected. Opening statement was made by Prosecution (Judge gave 30 minutes each for the statements). Rick's attorney gave his opening statement; and the other 3 defense attys will give theirs tomorrow (07/18) We will be there and the Trial starts again, at 9AM. We will keep you posted when we get home -- late evening! Thanx for prayers and your love and thoughts!! Of course, it goes without saying that ANY ONE of you who CAN ATTEND --- PLEASE DO SO!!!!7/19:

Wish you all could see this in the court-room.7/23:
Hello everyone : Sorry about the delay in this message ! Friday was a very interesting day ; we got to listen to the confidential informant ( Ramon ) the drug smuggler human trafficker money launderer ; cheater, explosive smuggler . It was very interesting how you could see that this guy was being coached by the officer that brought these charges against the family ! to also listen to the tapes you could barely understand what was said ! the undercover officer ( straw purchaser )who seemed to be nowhere near Ramon, the special officer and who was the person who actually filled out all the legal forms (4473 ) and was approved by the FBI for the sale ! he was the only one shown in the video ! from what was said and shown all that was going on was good salesmanship and a very knowledgeable person doing his job to explain their product line !! Today the defense gets to cross examine.This morning:
Hi everyone !WOW what a day in court !The defense got to cross examine Roman the prosecution"s key witness time And again his testimony was anything but the truth ! Tomorrow the rest of the defense team will do their cross . Will update tomorrows events.Also see: A Fixed Fight
