... "'Project Gunrunner' is the perfect storm for Obama. First, he’ll get to act like the good guy when he kicks Melson to the curb. Then, while everyone is cheering that Melson is gone, he will sneak Andrew Traver in as Director of the ATF. They’ll at least have two things in common - Chicago-style politics and Chicago-style radicalism."

"There is no excuse for Obama to use an unthinkable tragedy/bizarre scandal to push yet another one of his far-left nominations. He is DELIBERATELY nominating Andrew Traver – a man who has demonstrated over and over again that he is anti-gun, anti-self-defense and anti-freedom. Obama even fired project Gunrunner whistleblower Vince Cefalu! When does it end?" ...

According to chicagotribune.com, the football folks in Wisconsin don’t share the NFL’s cut-and-dried policy on CCW . . ." ...

"My story on shot placement seems to have stirred up a bit of thought provoking conversation about where a speedy bullet should go. Those opposed to my stance on neck shots cite the fact that the head and neck are constantly in motion vs. the mostly stationary chest cavity. I’ll certainly agree that the chest is a larger, more stable target. However, my opposition stems from the possibility of collateral damage to areas surrounding the heart and lungs. You could flinch and pierce the stomach, making for a long, painful death. Much like the 9 mm vs. .45 ACP debate, there will never be a clear winner." ...

"Republican members of Congress say agents with the [ATF] stepped aside as guns purchased in Valley stores by 'straw buyers' were given to smugglers. The lawmakers accused Justice Department officials ... of authorizing an operation that deliberately let guns enter Mexico."
