As National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea once asked of someone who had repeated the "just give him what he wants" advice, "What if 'what he wants' is your life?"That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
A firearm, when combined with proficiency in its use and the will to excercise that proficiency at need, is the means by which the (nominally) human predator can be denied "what he wants." Anyone who finds that morally objectionable is on the side of your would-be killer--not yours. [More]

Obama could, of course, have "read about it in the news" about a month before that, when Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News first brought the story to the mass media (we should probably not expect him to have kept up with those in the "new media" who had been covering the scandal since December).That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
And we, of course, are to assume that Obama's first knowledge of the program came when he "first read about it in the news." Perhaps that makes sense, since although one would normally expect his Attorney General to tell him about such things (hopefully before they make the news), Holder was supposedly a few weeks away from learning about it. One might fairly ask that if Holder cannot be expected to read all the briefing documents sent his way, could he at least read the same news the president finds time to read? If not, should Obama maybe have told Holder? Not the usual way of doing things, admittedly, but it might have saved a fair amount of embarrassment. [More]

The Second Amendment was written to guarantee the existence of the last bulwark against tyranny--an armed citizenry, and the abolishment of the CSGV's beloved government monopoly on force. That was well known when it was written in the 18th century (ask Tench Coxe), and was affirmed in 2008, when the Supreme Court made the Second Amendment's guarantee of the individual right to keep and bear arms a settled point of Constitutional law:That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner.

Rep. Walsh explained himself, Henigan. If you oppose the people's Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right to bear arms in defense of their families, lives, homes and liberty, perhaps it is you who have some explaining to do. [More]

The candidate who is the first to embrace this issue stands to separate himself/herself not only from the rest of the Republican field, but from Obama and the rest of the Democrats, as well.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has spearheaded the congressional investigation of "Project Gunwalker," under Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA), is Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD). Cummings has not only fought the investigation, but when Democrats controlled the committee, willfully ignored whistleblowers' allegations of corruption within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), and thus bears some culpability for the fact that the "Gunwalker" monstrosity wasn't stopped before it ever began.
Meanwhile, President Obama continues to express every confidence in AG Holder--something else that Republican presidential candidates could (and should) be hammering him for. [More]

In other words, Holder absolutely knew about "Operation Fast and Furious," and the fact that that operation centered on "gunwalking," not a "few weeks" before Representative Issa asked him when he knew about it, but a few months before--at the very least. Even if we are to believe his rather suspicious claim to have not bothered to keep himself informed last summer, and even if such incompetent dereliction of duty is not itself grounds for replacing him with someone more able and willing to carry out the duties of United States Attorney General, we still know he committed perjury in his testimony on May 3.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner.

Now, consider the fact that if the government is an accessory to mass murder, then we, as taxpayers, could be said to be, at least morally (if not legally), accessories as well. And now we're being told to "be reasonable," and to "calm down."That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
We'll consider "calm[ing] down" when the people responsible for this monstrosity are in prison. Oh, and as for being "reasonable"? I said "in prison," rather than hanged. That's stretching "reasonable" about as far as it will go. [More]

It should also be pointed out that by 2009, even the most Underpants Gnome-stupid government officials had the benefit of hindsight (provided by "Wide Receiver") to see the folly of "gunwalking" as a "crime-fighting" tool. By then it should have been clear that the only value such a technique offered was the pile of dead bodies that could then be blamed on U.S. gun dealers.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
"Operation Wide Receiver" should be investigated, and any found guilty of criminal acts should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But before TPMMuckraker gives the Obama government a pass on its gunwalking, because "Bush did it, too," we should probably ask ourselves if a past administration's atrocities justify their repetition now.

Lying to Congress under oath is perjury. Perjury is a crime. We the people, however, are expected to trust our nation's justice system to this . . . criminal. This we cannot do. A government that puts "justice" in the hands of a criminal bears no legitimate claim on the people's loyalty. If the government seeks to illegitimately claim that loyalty, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is going to have a lot of updates to make on their "Insurrectionism Timeline."
