  • WaPo: Fast and furious; It’s your fault

    Yeah, during the BATFE’s braintsunami operation Fast and Furious, more than 2500 guns ‘walked across” the Mexican border from the US while agents sat on their hands. And whose fault is it? Why it’s you, the NRA and defenders of the Second Amendment, according to the Washington Post Editorial Board.

    THE GUN RIGHTS lobby has spent considerable time and energy in pursuit of one goal: crippling the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). It has largely succeeded — and with dire consequences.

    Crippling them to the point of making the entire agency a lawless gang of imbeciles? Ya know, it might have made sense if they tracked 10 guns to the eventual end user, maybe 50 guns…but on what planet did they need to let two thousand five hundred guns get into the hands of criminals?

    Of course, the Washington Post editorial board claims that we need stronger gun laws not more competent BATFE agents;

    Lawmakers should give the ATF the tools it needs to fight illegal gun trafficking. They should enact stronger penalties for straw purchases and craft a federal gun-smuggling statute; close the gun-show loophole, which allows buyers under certain circumstances to purchase weapons without a background check; resuscitate the ban on assault weapons; and give the ATF the authority to collect data on multiple sales of long guns in border states.

    Which of those things would have prevented BATFE agents from ending their operation? Because the fact that the BATFE engaged in this illegal operation is what caused it. Maybe the “scary looking rifle ban”…maybe. Gun dealers wanted to stop the obvious straw purchases, but the BATFE waved them off. 2500 times.

  • Chicago’s top cop says gun laws are racist

    ROS sends us a link about Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, who claims that Federal gun laws are killing “black and brown children”;

    McCarthy told parishioners an anecdote about a brutal night of killings in Newark, N.J., where he was previously head of the police department. McCarthy said that after he got home that night, he turn on the TV to relax, and tuned in to Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

    “She was caribou-hunting and talking about the right to bear arms,” McCarthy said. “Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with me?”

    McCarthy also told parishioners that “everybody is afraid of race. I’m not afraid of race.”

    In a statement Thursday, McCarthy said “strong gun laws against illegal firearms are critical in order to maintain public safety and private rights.”

    Hey, numbnuts, what does Sarah Palin legally hunting with a rifle in Alaska have to do with criminals blasting each other in New Jersey?

    And what does race have to with guns. Are you trying tell us that black people are so f**king ignorant that they can’t stop shooting each other when ever they come into contact with a gun? While i agree that illegal firearms are a serious problem, I can also admit out loud that there are sufficient laws on the books to prevent illegal guns from reaching criminals if incompetent boobs like you will take the time to enforce those laws instead of blaming legal gun owners and legal gun manufacturers for the problems in your community. Now will you admit that you’re nothing but a race baiting boob?

  • Waiting on gun control

    According to Fox News, the gun control crowd has a bug up their ass about no new gun control legislation after the shooting of Gabrielle Gifford in Tuscon last winter;

    “We’re coming on the six-month mark since the shooting and still nothing from the administration,” said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign. “It’s time for some action.”

    The Justice Department deliberations began in March, after the president broke his usual silence on guns in an opinion piece in Giffords’ hometown newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star. In it, he called for “a new discussion on how we can keep America safe for all our people.”

    Even then Obama steered clear of ambitious declarations, timelines or goals, but he did call for “sound and effective steps” to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, including strengthening background checks. Obama said that “if we’re serious about keeping guns away from someone who’s made up his mind to kill, then we can’t allow a situation where a responsible seller denies him a weapon at one store, but he effortlessly buys the same gun someplace else.”

    Here’s my advice to the gun grabbing fascists; Wait until Obama’s next term. He’s bright enough to know that he’ll lose the 2012 election if there’s even a whiff of any gun grabbing legislation. So just be patient.

  • What could go wrong?

    TSA conducting security exercise

    The exercise will cover approximately 5,000 square miles throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. The participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities. The exercise will utilize multiple airborne assets, including Blackhawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as waterborne and surface teams.

    “The exercise not only enhances security throughout the region; it gives TSA and our security partners the opportunity to work cooperatively,” said TSA Columbus Federal Security Director Donald Barker. “This work increases our preparedness to respond in case of an emergency.”

    I have NO IDEA why the TSA is doing this exercise? Maybe at a seaport, or an airport, but THREE states?

    This is enough to overwork my inner paranoid.

  • BATFE-monitored weapons found in the hands of drug cartels

    According to Fox News 5 assault rifles were found in a weapons cache by Mexican police which had been “watched” by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and allowed to cross the southern border during their attempts to track firearms smuggling;

    U.S. authorities have identified at least five Romanian-made AK-47-style rifles as having been purchased in the U.S. by suspects the ATF was tracking in the Fast and Furious operation. Documents from the ATF’s National Tracing Center detail the makes and serial numbers of the firearms, their recovery in Mexico, and dates in 2009 and 2010 when the ATF entered them into a database of suspect guns.

    So it’s the US Federal government that’s letting guns “walk” across the border, not regular US citizens like this Justice Department would have you believe.

    The Justice Department said last month that the Fast and Furious operation was first approved by the U.S. attorney’s office in Arizona and the ATF’s Phoenix field office, and later by a multiagency organized-crime task force.

    Tracy Schmaler, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said: “The attorney general takes the allegations that have been raised seriously, which is why he has asked the inspector general to investigate and made clear to everyone in the department that under no circumstances should guns be allowed to cross the border.”

    Too late. They aren’t “allegations” now – weapons which the BATFE were “watching” ended up in a drug dealer’s house in Juarez. How much more needs to be proven?

  • The Thought Police are coming

    Maybe I should say Here Come The Thought Police AGAIN?

    A Second Amendment related decal is causing a bit of an uproar in Baltimore.

    “….while the individual who is displaying the symbol may not be armed, the presence of the symbol provides an early warning indicator that you MAY be about to encounter an armed individual.”

    I’ll posit that common sense should dictate that ALL LEOs should be careful in ALL circumstances?

    It was about a year or so ago when Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano suggested that combat vets ‘might’ become a threat.

    Seems it’s okay to profile gun owners and vets, but not certain others?

  • CA Senate votes to exempt itself from gun laws

    In a 28-2 vote yesterday, the California Senate voted to exempt it’s members from the oppressive and pointless gun laws that it has inflicted on the rest of California according to The Washington Times;

    Legislators apparently think they alone are worthy to pack heat on the streets for personal protection, and the masses ought to wait until the police arrive.

    This is just one of many bills Golden State politicians used this legislative session to set themselves apart from the little people, the ones who pay their inflated salaries.

    This is less than a month after the California legislature voted to ban open carry for the peasants;

    The bill, AB144, would make it a misdemeanor to carry an exposed and unloaded gun in a public place, street or vehicle except in some unincorporated areas. It was approved 45-29 largely along party lines and moves to the Senate.

    It makes you wonder what they have in store for us, doesn’t it?

    Families shouldn’t have to fear for their safety if they’re out for a walk and see someone packing a pistol, [Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Portantino of La Canada Flintridge] said, and police shouldn’t have to answer calls to respond to those fears.

    He said a loophole in current law allows people to carry unloaded weapons in public even if they’re carrying ammunition on the same belt.

    “You don’t need a handgun to order a cheeseburger,” he said.

    We don’t need nanny Democrats to tell us what we do and don’t need, either.

  • Brady Campaign’s idea of “craziest gun laws”

    The Wichita Eagle posts an article entitled “Kansas on list for ‘Craziest Gun Laws’”. The craziest gun laws according to the Brady Campaign? Allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry their weapons in places which don’t post “no guns allowed” signs, including schools;

    State and local officials, however, say a bill signed by Gov. Sam Brownback last month clarified but did not change Kansas law, which prevents concealed-carry permit holders from taking guns into any building that posts no-gun signs on its doors.

    “If those (signs) are posted, individuals cannot carry (firearms) into those buildings,” said Chuck Sexson, director of the concealed-carry program for the Kansas Attorney General’s Office.

    “Most schools around the state have posted their buildings. … So that hasn’t changed.”

    So the state has left it up to school districts whether they want ot allow concealed carry in their schools. keep in mind that students aren’t old enough to get a permit or own a handgun, so they still can’t bring guns to their classes. Only responsible adults who pass background checks.

    “We want to prevent the next Tucson, Virginia Tech or Columbine,” said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign, which is based in Washington, D.C. “It’s too easy now for dangerous people to get guns and to legally carry them in all sorts of public places.”

    Really? It’s too easy? Obviously spoken by someone who has never bought a handgun or applied for a CCW permit. How else are we supposed to know if property owners don’t want us to bring our guns on their property if there’s no sign warning us, you dumbasses?

    How soon before they start using Adam Perlman’s message to Muslims to scare us?
