"Regular readers are familiar with 'Authorized Journalists,' a term I penned to characterize professional reporters, editors, producers and the like who consistently treat gun-related stories with ignorance, bias and deliberate indifference. If left to these, we would not be having Gunwalker hearings and the 90% lie would be the unchallenged common wisdom." ... |

To put it bluntly, if you live out in the sticks like I do, you will own at least one designated snake gun, and learn how to use it." ... |

"Notice the word 'probably.' Then note the source of this quote: UCLA Law Professor Adam Winkler [above]. And here’s the coupe de grace: Winkler’s qualified pronouncement appears in The Huffington Post. That would be the left-leaning website that spent the early part of the ATF’s Gunwalker scandal ignoring it. And then prevaricated on behalf of the ATF, claiming the Agency was guilty of nothing more than over-exuberance caused by a lack of funding (despite the extra funding that funded the anti-gun running gun running operation). And now the HuffPo’s legal eagle is raising the red flag in an article entitled Obama’s Growing Gun Problem. So it’s official: Obama’s in deep sh!t. Oh, and about that 'probably' . . ." ... |

"After two major lawsuits were filed to stop implementation of new firearm purchase reporting requirements next week – which some say were inspired by the botched Operation Fast and Furious – Bellevue’s Second Amendment Foundation did something yesterday many observers might find out of the ordinary, while it did not do something else."
"SAF applauded both the National Shooting Sports Foundation and National Rifle Association for filing separate federal lawsuits, and then promised to file an amicus brief 'at the appropriate time.' SAF didn’t hastily jump in with a copycat case to muddy up the waters, nor take credit for the legal work of the other organizations." ... |

"As we've all seen to great effect in the last week, watching laws get made is not for the faint of heart. I've made sausage before. That’s a picnic by comparison. Which goes a long way toward explaining something as vague and open to legal interpretation and potential abuse as Arkansas' 'journey' exception to its carry laws. So, when you have a legislative product as poorly crafted as this, it’s only natural to ask for clarification, right? Well, no. This is the state where you have to worry about what the meaning of ‘is’ is. And that’s just the way they like it…" ... |
