The "Gun Show Loophole" - An Interesting Twist

An interesting development in the ATF's Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal has brought to light another instance of the government's "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. It appears that George Gillett, who is up to his neck in the Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal  as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix field office, utilized the much maligned - by the ATF and others - "Gun Show Loophole" to sell a personally owned weapon to an individual in Arizona. There is nothing illegal about the transaction, from one private citizen to another, but ironic in that the ATF has had a crusade to eliminate this type of sale since the 1990s.

Concealed Carry: A Thoughful, Logical Explanation

This Gentlemen Explains Why He Carries A Concealed Weapon In A Very Well Reasoned Manner

 The 'enlightened' members of the Maryland House and Senate should stop fighting tooth and nail to prevent the law abiding citizens of Maryland from protecting themselves and their loved ones. Yes, I am talking about YOU, Senator Frosh!!

What Is Wrong With This Picture?

This was just posted on FoxNews.com

"A plastic replica of a bullet is used to remove an ammunition magazine from an assault rifle in a demonstration at the California Department of Justice in Sacramento, Calif. (AP)" 

 

Whoever does the training at the California Department of Justice should be replaced.  You would be shot multiple times trying to make a magazine change like that. They should cross their eastern border into the Nevada desert for some real weapons training and maybe they will survive the gunfight.

And if you really want to look sharp and stylish in the Nevada desert....

Simplistic Beauty, Arrogant Government

It has been a long time coming. First, a pretty long wait from the dealer - this is a very popular item and they sell them as fast as they make them. Next, the onerous seven waiting period established by the State of Maryland-the seven day waiting period that is actually eight days.  With that behind me tomorrow, I will become the proud owner of this:

Now if the State of Maryland would stop preventing law abiding citizens from carrying concealed, I might be able to utilize it for its intended purpose.  They are fighting tooth and nail to reverse the Court's decision in the Wollard case, which basically states that a citizen shouldn't have to ask the government for permission to exercise a right.

The future looks bright, you better have shades!

Project Gunwalker / Fast and Furious - great video

The American Future Fund has produced a video calling for answers and accountability in the Obama Administration's coverup of the ATF operation that allowed over 2000 weapons to be purchased illegally and then transported across the border into Mexico, purportedly to track them to the bosses of the drug cartels.  Nothing was ever tracked and two of these weapons were used in the shootout that killed Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Hundreds have been killed in Mexico with these weapons and who knows how many more will die going forward.  Please watch this video and share it with everyone.

Hat tip to the American Future Fund - excellent work!
