Homeland Security Inspector General’s report on Fast and Furious still unfiled

A footnote in the report following that revelation then explains “The ICE agent who was assigned to ATF’s Group VII declined our request for a voluntary interview.”

Why? And why is no one asking that? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes when it comes to stonewalling on Fast and Furious, Janet Napolitano is every bit the equal of Eric Holder.

I've Got a Secret

Darrell Issa can’t keep a secret [More] 

As opposed to The Washington Post, which specializes in helping the administration keep a lid on all matters Gunwalker while acting as its attack dog against any who dare delve into them...

Win Fabulous Prizes!

Someone's gonna win. Might as well be you if you don't mind getting on another list, which is why I recommend establishing a secondary free email account to use for such things. [Read]

My luck is terrible with contests--also I don't want to use it up and screw my chances for that $185M Powerball jackpot--you know, the one where your odds of winning are about the same as if you never bought a ticket at all out to around eight decimal points...

All I have to do is pick six lousy numbers and I can't even do that right.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Good idea, but hopefully they won't penetrate the perimeter and get that far. [Read]

We're the Only Ones Unidentified Enough

The firing officer, whom police haven’t identified, thought Davies was an armed threat in the dark of night, the spokesman said. [More] 

They didn't identify the shooter in the dog mixup, either.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

An SAS soldier has been jailed for possessing a “war trophy” pistol presented to him by the Iraqi Army for outstanding service. [More] 

How "common sense" of them. Still, those calling for leniency are really advocating for "Only Ones" elitism, and that's no good, either.

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

Memphis police said a police officer was shot when another officer tried to shoot a dog during the search of a home.  [More]

So is the dog OK?  If they didn't end up shooting it, why did they need to try in the first place?

Inviting Tragedy

Unregistered guns invite a tragedy [More]

Unlike registered ones?

"It is a debate that we must have! Isn’t it?"

OK, Rafferty, what do you propose should happen to people like me who refuse?  Be specific. [Read]

Consider the Source

I actually see some people on Facebook are reacting to this post from "The World's Only Reliable News" with calls to contact Congress. [More]

It's actually no more ridiculous than the real plans, and I won't be surprised to get spam from some opportunist turning this into a for-profit fax blast.

Bat Boy's lookin' good these days, don't you think?

This Day in History: November 12

Broad River, S. C., November 12, 1780. Fought between the Americans under General Sumter and the British under Major Wemyss. British defeated. [More]

Speculation on Holder replacement puts Deval Patrick on short list

Obama, of course, knows all this. It's why names like these would be foremost in his considerations and reflects that new-found "flexibility" he perceives is his as the restrictions that have always been his goal emerge from "under the radar." He's counting on a supportive media and an establishment Republican leadership that time and again through the years has equated appeasement with pragmatism. He's counting on an attorney general that will help him push whatever he wants through the courts and he's counting on Supreme Court replacements that will let him get away with it. [More] 

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a Who's Who of gungrabbers being considered for the slot of top enforcer, and lays out what NRA must be prepared to do without prompting if this materializes--something they refused to do last time.

Veterans Day 2012

This is my first passing of this day without this principled, wise, strong and exemplary human being in my life.  He was my hero, the one I imprinted off of, the one I consciously use as my template for how a man is supposed to conduct himself.

What a blessing, to have enjoyed a lifetime of memories that resulted in my feeling this way.

Wave of violence sweeps over 'Alpha World City' in spite of restrictive gun laws

The fact is, Brazil could be looked at as a laboratory of sorts to help determine the effectiveness of citizen disarmament proposals being made for the United States under the guise of “common sense” measures that promise to reduce the violence. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a failed experiment some are determined to keep repeating--with us as the lab rats.

Media ‘gun control’ proponents argue there's no longer any need to fear NRA

“Profiles in apathy” has long been a theme expressed here, and should rightfully be considered as great an enemy of freedom as the most rabid of gun-grabbers. That gun owners must organize and pool their strength together is a given, and that so many ignore the call to muster and instead draw their curtains while others march to the green does more to give aid and comfort to their attackers than anything. [More] 

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes a perception of vulnerability that's not altogether misplaced.

Post-Diggin' with Dayton

Here's the interview link. [Listen]

Diggin' with Dayton

I'll be on TalkRadio 101.1 FM, Panama City, FL, tomorrow morning at 9:00 Eastern/8:00 Central with Dayton Vaus to talk Gunwalker and the reanimated UN Arms Trade Treaty.  

Armed American Radio host Mark Walters will come on in the next half hour.

Stolen gun report a sign of things to come from Obama’s second term

Obama’s need to keep things under the radar is no more. Now it’s time for building that transformational “legacy” pundits were talking about Tuesday night, and also, because he perceives the momentum is on his side, time for one other thing. [More] 

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks "Did somebody say 'revenge'?"
