Idiotorial
USA Today: If the the NRA wasn’t so effective at defending civil rights, the only guns going into Mexico illegally would come from ATF.
Or something. I really am flabbergasted at the notion of blaming the NRA since, by some counts, hundreds of people have been killed with guns allowed to walk by ATF.
USA Today has a response from NRA. I’m actually a fan of the condescending tone. One should not justify ridiculous claims without ridicule.

Oh, so the NRA does support gun control. Just so it’s aimed @ somebody else.

Markie Marxist sez: “Our plan with ATF walking guns into Mexico was to put the blame on private gun ownership, and thus provide more of a basis for more restrictive gun laws. Once our cover was blown, we decided to stick to the same story anyway. Our friends in the MSM have been wonderful in providing cover to us, so our story is still working. Imagine that! We have our government agents smuggle guns into Mexico, so we can blame it on the NRA, and even though we get caught red-handed doing that, we can still get away with blaming the NRA, despite federal agents being killed as a result of our actions. Do we commies control this country or what? Yeah, we really are literally getting away with murder. Oh, and Melson is still head of ATF. He’s not going anywhere, is he? Holder resign? Don’t make me laugh! Even the head of ATF isn’t resigning! We Marxists are powerful enough to provide cover for everybody, after all, we own this country, so we can do as we please with it! Ha! Ha! All your country are belong to us! Be glad we’re not burning it down yet, like we’re doing to the UK! Though I guess we are in a sense, with what we’ve done to the Dow! All your capitalism are belong to us, and we’re making it worthless! Ha! Ha!”

That article sounds like one that had the cursing and swearing in its rough draft and was merely hinting at those feelings now…

“The NRA questions whether the U.S. is the source of drug cartels’ guns.”
I don’t think the NRA or any of us question the matter.
It has already been established as a fact.
If the ATF and the DOJ are so honorable, they can stop stonewalling the Congressional investigation into Fast and Furious.
The only issues are who knew what and when.
Issa and Grassley need to start holding some higher ups in those agencies in contempt of Congress.
Be sure to bring a toothbrush the next time you appear before these committees, guys.
And some soap on a rope.

“If the the NRA wasn’t so effective at defending civil rights”
At least the libtards have finally accepted that gun rights ARE civil rights… that’s some serious progress.

I like the NRA response until the end;
“…prosecute every single violent criminal caught with a gun.”
(sigh) Here we go again. So, if said violent criminals are caught withOUT guns….they’re to be let alone then? For shit’s sake, NRA, get a grip.

Lyle, lighten up. I don’t think NRA is suggesting that violent criminals without guns not be prosecuted.
