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.

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!

Don't Laugh at the French Anymore

We have surrendered. Surrendered with barely a whimper, just like the French. That's right, surrendered part of our Nation's sovereign territory to Mexico, by way of the Mexican drug cartels. This is what was posted today on the Fox News website:

"Federal officials make 80-mile stretch of Arizona-Mexico border -- including part of national wildlife refuge -- a virtual no-man's land as violence by drug smugglers and illegals runs rampant."

So what would you call it? A foreign entity has crossed our border and now controls part of the United States of America to the extent that a Department of the US Government has warned American citizens not to go there. What is it going to take for the Obama Administration to do it's constitutionally mandated duty and protect us from our enemies? Send in the military and don't tie their hands with asinine rules of engagement. Just shoot the bastards.  I hope we have plenty of radiological detection equipment there as well because this surrender of 80 miles of US border territory is a clear signal to the jihadis that the backdoor to America is now wide open for them to bring in a nuke.

Would we be willing to surrender the border from Pebble Beach to Ragged Point? How about from Cape May to the Barnegat Light? So why on our southern border?

So much for the illegal immigration invasion just being "poor people just trying to make a better life for themselves and their family." I think the movement to reclaim Aztlan has taken a giant step forward.

How To Fix the BP Oil Well Mess

The massive leak of crude oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico from a broken pipe almost a mile below the surface is a continuing disaster, threatening to reach epic proportions.  Now six weeks into the crisis, multiple attempts to stem the flow or capture the leaking crude have been unsuccessful to date. If the latest attempt fails, it could be August or later before relief wells are drilled to fix the problem.

They have been going about it all wrong from Day 1.

I'm not a scientist, geologist, or oil drilling expert. You don't have to be for my solution.  What is needed is comprehensive oil drilling reform. Oil that has already reached the shores of Louisiana and Mississippi must be allowed to remain - after all, it's come a long way to get there.  Trapped more than a mile below the sea floor for millions of years, it just wanted to come to America to fuel our cars, planes and factories and be a part of the American Dream. It just went about it the wrong way. Are we going to collect all the spilled crude and force it back under the ocean floor and make it return via the usual manner? We must be realistic. It had the best of intentions in coming to America's shores, which we know reigns supreme. Regardless of the devastating effects to the fragile ecosystem, to the Gulf fishing industry and to Gulf Coast tourism, it's too simplistic an approach to just stem the flow. We must all join together to craft a comprehensive reform measure.
