Somebody's getting ready to throw somebody under the bus.

The flak must be getting uncomfortably close...

The Blame Game

“My concern, Mr. Chairman, is there’s been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made, but I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem,” Feinstein said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last November that Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer testified at. [More]
Right, don't bother to find out who is responsible for what.

It's just mind-boggling, how evil this creature is. That and how much she looks like Zira.

Standing By

I've said it before and I'll say it again, while some people have exaggerated what I wrote, even without attribution, as far as what I wrote, I stand by my sources. [More]
Anyone maintaining Mike's report is "false" ought to give some credible reasons for the utter lack of public leadership and responsiveness displayed to date. 

The State Giveth, the State Taketh Away

Under proposed House Bill 981, a piece of legislation that co-sponsor Rep. Sean Jerguson, R-Holly Springs, is confident will pass, Georgians would have the right to carry concealed weapons in some traditionally banned places. [More]
They already have that right--no bill could award it or take it away.  It's just that some presumptuous usurpers who were initially hired with the idea that they'd be servants have decided they have the authority to recognize it--or not.


This is more than a mere semantics argument. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people who ought to know better talking about how the Second Amendment gives us the right to keep and bear arms.

Let's Make a Deal!

Unless it's too much trouble...

Former Safety Manager Charles Garcia fired Robert Fitzgibbons, 41, for an incident in which bullet fragments from the AR-15 he used injured Diamond Demmer, 29, a bystander during the incident July 2, 2010...Fitzgibbons compounded his offense by loading the weapon with military-type magnesium-tipped tracer rounds that illuminate the path the bullet takes, in a hardened metal jacket...[More]
That'll certainly light up the ol' Club Vinyl parking lot and provide a chest-thumping beat! 

I can understand this happening with assault rifles, which we all know are weapons of mass destruction and war that are only made for killing people as you spray fire from the hip, and have no legitimate sporting purpose because you can't hunt deer with them, but with a patrol rifle...?
