Stumble it!Judge rules Constitutionally guaranteed right to bear arms merely a privilege
No, your honor--it is most definitely within the purview of the courts to rein in the legislature's unconstitutional excesses through judicial review. If you are unable or unwilling to do that, what good are you?That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
. . .
If the court's role in government is merely as a rubber stamp for the legislative and executive branches, Cummings is probably just fine for the job. The flip side of that, of course, is that if we the people cannot count on the courts to rein in an overzealous legislature and executive, we will have to do take that on ourselves. That could get messy. [More]

Henigan went incandescent with outrage when House Judiciary Committee Republicans killed a proposal to block gun sales to those on the "watch list."

Our gangster government: 'Project Gunwalker's' newest, most depraved twist
By the way, it is also instructive to compare what BATFE Agent John Dodson was directed to do, to the language in Representative Carolyn Maloney's (D-NY) H.R. 2554, the "Stop Gun Trafficking and Strengthen Law Enforcement Act of 2011." These latest "Gunwalker" revelations would seem to indicate that every one of the provisions of that bill was broken--by the very people who would be in charge of enforcing it, if it becomes law.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
More importantly, with "Project Gunwalker" being every day more conlusively proven not to have been a "botched sting," there is only one other thing it could have been--an attempt to justify more "gun control." [More]

It is only Representative Darrell Issa's (R-CA) position as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (because of the Republican House majority) that has allowed the investigation to get anywhere so far.

Mexico--like American people--still not getting answers on 'Project Gunwalker'
While "thousands more victims" may be an exaggeration (so far--the "gunwalking" may have ended, but the killing almost certainly hasn't, and will not for years), she is perhaps granting the perpetrators of "Project Gunwalker" far too much benefit of the doubt, in attributing the atrocity to "inpetitude," rather than ruthless, calculated evil.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner.

Let's be clear--the only thing 'botched' in 'Project Gunwalker' was the cover-up
What would make the Gunwalker perpetrators "giddy"? Presumably, the failure of a "botched" operation on their part, as they discover the fatal weakness of the Underpants Gnome business model, would do just the opposite. No--their "giddiness" stemmed from Project Gunwalker's success at supporting the agenda. Every Mexican killed with a "gunwalked" gun--every "broken egg"--was a "success," in the sense that it could be cited as justification for more "gun control," as this administration has demonstrably done, more than once.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
To allow the characterization of "Project Gunwalker" as a "botched sting operation" to go unchallenged is to give the perpetrators near (or at?) the very top of the Obama government a free pass on the utter evil of this monstrosity, and allow "gun control" apologists to blame it on desperation stemming from "weak U.S. gun laws," because of the "gun lobby."

If Michigan AG were U.S. AG, would Hughes Amendment still ban new machine guns?
Much like past interpretation of Michigan's suppressor law, that has been taken to mean that only government entities may possess machine guns that were not already in legal private possession prior to 1986. However, under the federal law that already applied to machine gun transfers, with all the federal hoops (including a $200 dollar tax per firearm, fingerprints, and the requirement to obtain the approval of local law enforcement), it would seem difficult to argue that the transfer or possession is not "under the authority of, the United States or any department or agency thereof or a State, or a department, agency, or political subdivision thereof."That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
Given Attorney General Schuette's determination that anyone meeting federal requirements for possession of a firearm suppressor is "licensed" for that possession, it would be especially difficult to believe that he would see that meeting the NFA's stringent requirements for machine gun possession was insufficient to qualify as being "under the authority of the United States or any department . . . ."

'Gunwalking' for stricter gun regulation--not a conspiracy theory
In other words, "gunwalked" guns were being used as justification for more restrictive gun regulation and more aggressive enforcement. We have seen it before, with emails from BATFE Assistant Director for Field Operations Mark Chait to Special Agent William Newell (then Special Agent in Charge of the BATFE's Phoenix office, but has since been transferred to the BATFE Office of Management). Those emails praised Newell and "Operation Fast and Furious" (the most famous of the "Projects Gunwalker"), because the "walked" guns could now be cited as a reason to implement the multiple rifle sale reporting requirement.
