UPDATEx4: Can of Worms = Guns Walking

Posted on April 5, 2011 | Leave a comment

Appaently, there is far more being bandied about as to why we don’t hear much from Mexico’s President Calderon on this influx of weapons from our own ATF into his country.

This might provide an answer. And it sounds like a doozie.

Anabel Hernández has made quite the charge: the Sinaloa cartel has bought the Mexican government lock, stock and Calderon. What’s more, the DEA knows about the corruption and plays ball with Calderon to catch other cartels, giving the Sinaloas a pass. Which would account for Calderon’s lack of indignation on the whole Gunwalker deal.

UPDATEx2: ATF Ignored and DOJ ignores Document Requests

UPDATEx3: Issa is threatening contempt proceedings if ATF does not comply.

UPDATEx4: Two guns sold to a Mexican cartel and used in the high-profile kidnapping and murder of a Mexican lawyer last year were purchased under the U.S. Justice Department’s failed anti-gun trafficking program Operation Fast and Furious, sources tell Fox News.

Meet the Proposed Head of the ATF

Posted on April 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

Andrew Traver, from Chicago. Feel any safer? I don’t. Second time the POTUS has nominated him.

Michelle Malkin says it best:

Traver’s pending nomination hearing comes as Republican watchdogs Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa turn up the heat on the Obama administration’s stonewallers over Project Gunrunner. The State Department, Justice Department and ATF have failed to produce documents in a timely manner on a bloody initiative that has been tied to the deaths of at least two American law enforcement officials. Traver would be another go-along, get-along Chicago cog in the machine. Americans need someone who’ll strip the whitewash, not second-coat it.

Oh, and by the way, how about that war on drugs? Is it getting any better? Or worse? Who is better funded and capable?
Think it might be their toys?

And how about a new Secretary of State? Will it be Cass Sunstein’s wife? Color me unimpressed and a bit more concerned for our U.S. Constitution. Correction: a LOT more concerned.

With us, the U.S. A., free society, freedom, responsibility, free enterprise, family, humanity, equal justice, Golden Rule, love of life, happiness, U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Rule of Law, self defense, The Almighty God. In no particular order.

Sharia Law. Ain’t no way, no how.

Agency Due For Budget Cuts

Posted on February 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

According to an article in the L.A. Times:

As the allegations have come to light, gun dealers across the southwest border have said the ATF has for years been quietly gathering information about questionable multiple purchases and even asking gun dealers to gather information, including descriptions and license plate numbers of suspicious buyers.

Dick DeGuerin, who represents Houston gun dealer Bill Carter, owner of Carter Country, said the company is now being threatened with a federal indictment as a result of multiple sales to purported straw purchasers — sales he said were not only reported to the ATF, but which federal agents encouraged Carter Country employees to complete.

“What’s going on now is some of these agents are scared of their own careers, and are afraid to own up to the fact that they encouraged Carter Country to go through with these sales,” DeGuerin said. “The breakdown came with, what did the ATF do with the information that Carter Country was delivering to them? Apparently, they didn’t do much.”

Reasonable vs. Unreasonable

Posted on January 9, 2011 | 1 comment

Okay, which is it?

Bill to ban crosshairs – Representative Bob Brady (Democrat) of Pennsylvania told The Caucus he plans to introduce a bill that would ban symbols like that now-infamous campaign crosshair map.

There is such a thing as the First Amendment you know, Bob. Can’t you at least wait awhile before opening your mouth and removing all doubt you don’t know what you are doing?

Reasonable people already know how to “tone down the rhetoric” – it’s the unreasonable people that do the things they do.

Don’t take your frustrations out on the rest of us.

The POTUS Is Restless

Which explains a lot and why he cannot seem to focus.

(Found this in a comment in a post on Don Surbers blog. Unfortunately, can’t determine the original commenter for proper attribution.)

You’ll Fly When We Tell You

Posted on December 30, 2010 | Leave a comment

And not before.

Is that the message you want to get from TSA?

Well, this woman got that message. She is the one that stripped down to her underwear in order to demonstrate that she wasn’t a flight risk. You know, nothing to see here (in the way of tools or anything else to indicate possible terrorism).

Instead, the TSA seems hell bent on making an example of her. Just like that pilot that wanted us to know about possible unresolved security issues.

Hhhmmm. I sense a pattern.

Mayors Against What?

Posted on December 27, 2010 | Leave a comment

Against Crime? Against Guns? Is one out of two okay?

I’d say – NOT. An interesting little post about the circle of Mayors within the Mayors Against Guns group. Seems they have a bunch of problems of their own. A whole bunch.

And they want to tell those of us that are law abiding citizens that we don’t need to protect ourselves. Really? From who, them or other criminals? Both likely.

Hypocrisy abounds.

UPDATE: Our Security Awareness Needs Help

Posted on December 23, 2010 | Leave a comment

Why aren’t we getting it?

Apparently there are egos that are too big to get through a door, unless their feelings are hurt when flaws in such security systems are exposed.

Gee, I always am grateful when people I work with can point out things that I can improve upon or correct. It makes for a better product and helps our customers.

What’s the problem with that DHS? Can’t you help us instead of trying to herd us?

See this news article (with video) about an airline pilot, in California. He is letting us know – the flying public – what is important for all of us to know. All this pilot wants is the job to be done right, done well.

You know what? So do the rest of us.

UPDATE: I am not the only one that thinks like this, apparently.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Posted on December 17, 2010 | Leave a comment

Isn’t TSA supposed to prevent someone from bringing a loaded gun on a plane after going through Security?

You’d think, right? Well, the traveling businessman apparently didn’t realize he had his (ahem) loaded weapon in his carry-on until after he got to his destination and unpacked in the hotel.

By the way, those of you who don’t mind what TSA does to you in the name of your safety, how do you feel about this now?
