Grassley ties gun from cartel shootout to central Gunwalker figure

Gillett’s involvement is also significant. Readers who have been following this story since the beginning will recall the post from Clean Up ATF, the whistleblower website established by so-called “dissident” agents, that was the catalysts for Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars and this correspondent to begin looking into allegations that would result in whistleblowers coming forward and blowing the lid off of what the world would learn to be Operation Fast and Furious:

"…Word is that curious George Gillett the Phoenix ASAC stepped on it again. Allegedly he has approved more than 500 AR-15 type rifles from Tucson and Phoenix cases to be “walked” to Mexico. Appears that ATF may be one of the largest suppliers of assault rifles to the Mexican cartels! " [More] 

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a strange coincidence for someone who has been tied in with gunwalking since the Clinton era.

‘Stunning developments’ in Reese case as father, son are led shackled in court

In spite of this, and in spite of growing evidence that the family has been subjected to a chronic and habitual liar of a snitch trying to save his own skin and demonstrably false testimony from government agents, despite the fact that all of their actions have been consistent with clearing their names in a court of law, and despite the fact they have nowhere to go and no resources to go anywhere with, the prosecution continues to characterize the incarcerated father and son as flight risks, and the court evidently buys into that.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at continued outrageous persecution as yet more government misconduct comes to light.

We're the Only Ones Groping for Answers Enough

Female US cop caught on tape giving two women body cavity search during routine traffic stop... and 'using the SAME gloves on both'  [More]

When are people going to learn not to talk to the police? Why did they consent? Why did they submit without objection?

Their answers were perfectly lucid, and they exhibited no visible signs of impairment in their conduct, so there was absolutely no probable cause for these fascist pervert thugs to conspire and commit rape and sodomy on two citizens under color of authority, and for potentially exposing both to STDs, although I suppose when it's done under the threat of being kidnapped or killed, it's never "safe sex."  And at the end of it all, their "suspicions" turned out to be totally bogus.

Kellie Helleson and David Farrell  and those like them have come to believe they own us and can do anything they want with impunity. The system they work  in has encouraged and rewarded them for conducting themselves accordingly.

These are who the monopoly of violence freaks want to enable and give absolute power to over us all.

Deliver Us from "Differently-Abled"

Confusing Asperger’s with mental illness, and mental illness with evil [More]

Look, lady, if terrorizing and slaughtering little children isn't evil, then nothing is.

Schizophrenics and psychos and sociopaths may be as lost in their hard-wiring as Gollum and the Ring, but the end result is evil.

See, if there's no evil, then there is no good.

I guess, according to the moral relativists, Hitler was just Semitically-challenged.

We're the Only Ones Bringing the War Back Home Enough

State Police Supt. Col. Steven G. O'Donnell said Monday they'd like to see a reinstatement of the ban on the sale of assault weapons...O'Donnell said assault weapons have one purpose, to kill people in war. He says civilians should not have assault weapons. [More]

So that's why you guys have them, Steve? To have your standing army make war on and kill "civilians"?

Why would anyone disarm, knowing jackbooted fascists like you have such evil designs on their liberties and their lives?

I, Paranoid

Writing about July’s ”Dark Knight” shooting in Aurora, Colorado, Guns Magazine’s David Codrea wrote how “enemies of the Second Amendment sense an opportunity to buck political timidity preceding the November elections, and to strike a crippling blow to the right to keep and bear arms.” Thankfully for gunowners, this paranoia is self-serving, because the natural solution to such a threat is to buy more guns. [More]

See, telling people exactly what is unfolding before our eyes is "paranoia," or at least that's what monopoly of violence fascists want their following to believe.

But rather than address the truth, they cast aspersions.

He did get one thing right: People are buying more guns. How self-serving is that?

Good old unintended consequences.

I doubt if he'll respond -- he didn't to this, either.

Larry Pratt reduced Morgan to sputtering insults. God, he is insufferably smug, obtuse and obnoxious.  Watch for yourself, and share the link. Good job Larry! Thank you for representing us so well.

Speaking of videos, I may have uncovered why Piers is so anti-gun from this old recording.

Constitutionalist military and police group offers teachers free gun training

As demands from citizen disarmament proponents for greater defenselessness in the face of violent evil become louder and more strident, as gun owners increasingly feel their most cherished rights are under mob assault and there’s nothing to do but cover up and endure the building storm, some, those we should be following, are offering solutions, things that can be implemented soon, and without great public cost, measures that have been proven, and demonstrably, the only thing that can stop an active school invader in mid-attack. This is what gun owners can, and must embrace as the only "conversation" worth having. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at an offered solution that we ought to be pushing back in the faces of the antis with everything we've got.

In 2009, Briston was also arrested for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, but a judge dismissed the charges on the condition that there was not enough evidence.

As we gather here in remembrance we can be grateful that he set such a wonderful example of why he was more trustworthy than the rest of us...

Over the Top

That's where they need help to push "Assaulted."

Per producer Kris Koenig:

We are currently on the road filming the last bits needed to complete the documentary, while watching the tragedy of last Friday and the resulting events.
 
At this point, we need to complete the film quickly. I'm asking you to help us start a second fundraising campaign at our website to cover the post production costs. Please encourage your readers to go to the website and make a donation today. 

That would be here.

With the renewed media war on guns being waged, we need all the counter-initiatives we can devise.  This can be a powerful one, and we need to get it out there sooner, rather than later.

If you're on Facebook, you can also help promote this there.

I have not had time to look into this. It almost seems like he's saying people are impersonating the Newtown PD and committing outright prosecutable fraud, and my expectation for that is it would have to be egregiously criminal.  Alternatively, he may be trying to put the kibosh on whistleblowers or on leakers who are sharing information without authorization that could jeopardize a criminal investigation. In the absence of being able to narrowly define whatever he's talking about to those potentialities, I don't know what to make of it.
