Tactical facepalm
Yes, they are that stupid.
I’m not to keen on more lists of people and qualifiers to make one a prohibited person. On its surface, I don’t think this is a good bill. But we must do something. This is something. So, it must be done.
In Missouri, the Republicans in the legislature overturned the Democrat governor’s veto of constitutional carry. Good.
However, I hope that the Democrat the NRA endorsed for this year’s MO Gov race remembers to dance with who brung him.
Not just for the FBI
ATF gets in on it too except they botched it as the ATF is prone to do:
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) set up shop as a sting operation to attract illegal gun and drug dealers. It worked: 144 firearms were bought and confiscated, as were narcotics during 68 transactions. Thirty-one people were arrested.
Yet, the agencys Operation Fearless was enough of a mess that the Justice Departments Office of Inspector General (IG) was prompted to take a broad look at ATFs undercover storefront operations. For all the good the Milwaukee sting did, there were enough blunders to make Operation Feckless seem an appropriate label.
In a report issued last week, the IG examined similar stings in Pensacola, Fla.; St. Louis; Wichita; and Boston, in addition to Milwaukee. The conclusion is sharp.
The operations were marked by poor management, insufficient training and guidance to agents in the field, and a lax organizational culture that failed to place sufficient emphasis on risk management in these inherently sensitive operations, the IG office found. It was alerted to the problems following a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigation into Operation Fearless.
QOTD:
if the (sic) wasnt for President Obama and Mike Bloomberg, most of the gun control movement would have folded up shop several years ago. Two people have kept this issue alive. Thats not a grassroots movement.
Dead NY lawmaker re-elected. Surprisingly, not a Democrat.
My shocked face: John Kerrys State Department Funneled MILLIONS To His Daughters Nonprofit
When she selectively edited their reaction during her made up anti-gun hit piece, she defamed them and members, they say.
Good. Hit them in the wallet.
And how would they have helped?
Mom found guilty of buying guns for son killed in police shootout
That’s pretty brutal.
The two things about this entire incident that struck me are, first, that the immediate response from the Clinton camp was to lie about it. How many things did they run up the flagpole before settling on pneumonia?
Second, look at how calm her handlers are. They’ve seen this before.
Rowan County, in Salisbury, NC is selling a 1928 Colt .45 Caliber Thompson Sub-Machine Gun:
$19K is the current bid.
To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables, Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.
Also, some people are “irredeemable”. Those that don’t support her generalize groups. So let’s generalize a group!
Bill: “coal people”
If you are a Trump supporter, you are other.
They have an app so you can report tips anonymously:
To make our communities safer, ATF is launching a new way to collect your tips involving firearms or to provide leads to help us prevent crimes from happening. Using your phone, tablet or computer, you will be able to tell us instantly and anonymously about crimes that may be happening in your communities that involve firearms, explosives, violent crime, or arson.
Where is it ATF’s job to deal with violent crime? Sure, the other stuff falls under their purview. What about alcohol and tobacco crimes?
For years, ATF has demonstrated a shocking lack of responsibility and judgment. We saw this with Operation Fast and Furious and again with Operation Fearless. This inspector general report confirms what weve long suspected: poor management and a loose organizational culture has led to completely avoidable failures in its undercover storefront operations. ATF has been tasked with an important responsibility of keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals. Its time that this organization gets serious about that duty. Our safety and our rights depend on it
A sharpshooter killed a top ISIS executioner and three other jihadists with a single bullet from nearly a mile away just seconds before the fiend was set to burn 12 hostages alive with a flamethrower, according to a new report.
The British Special Air Service marksman turned one of the most hated terrorists in Syria into a fireball by using a Barett .50-caliber rifle to strike a fuel tank affixed to the jihadis back, the UKs Daily Star reported Sunday.
But I’m not. I planned to attend The Gun Blogger Rendezvous this year. Then, airplane stuff happened which would have basically put me there late tomorrow. This would have only left me about a day and a half there, which didn’t make the math add up with travel to leisure ratio. So, if you’re there and reading this, tell everyone I send my regards.
SAF with the release. Alan Gura on the court’s decision:
Todays victory confirms that the government cant simply disarm anyone it wishes
Speaking of Gura, he has a piece at SCOTUS blog on what’s at stake on the Supreme Court and why a friendly appointment might not be enough.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
