THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Project "gunwalker" is getting intense.

From Dave Workman in Seattle we get this report.

Bellevue v. Beltway: Gottlieb tells Holder ‘Investigate ATF or resign’

"Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, is demanding a full-scale investigation by Attorney General Eric Holder, or Holder’s resignation as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer."

I'm with Alan on this. Holder has been nothing but a embarrassment when it comes to the peoples rights under the 2nd Amendment. He wants more and more infringement. That's some of that Chicago thug mentality.

"That demand comes after Wednesday’s CBS Evening News report on the scandal that suggested at least 2,500 guns were allowed to enter an illicit pipeline by ATF officials, over the objections of their own field agents. Two of those guns were recovered from the scene of a fatal gun battle last December that took the life of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry."

From David Codrea we get this.

Gun group to Holder: Investigate ‘Project Gunwalker’ or step down
http://www.examiner.com/gun-rights-in-national/gun-group-to-holder-investigate-project-gunwalker-or-step-down?CID=examiner_alerts_article

“Washington State’s leading gun rights advocate wants heads to roll over the ‘Project Gunrunner’ scandal, which was launched in 2009 ostensibly to curb the flow of American guns"

And is has been a rousing failure. ATF officials have coerced gun shop owners in the South West to proceed with questionable gun sales. Even against the better judgment of the operators. They did this to inflate the numbers of weapons "recovered" in Mexico so they could beg for more money by saying "look what we have done". Unfortunately, For agent Terry, their plan backfired when Mexican nationals, in a gunfight with CBP agents on American soil, killed him. Now, the terrorists, and that is what they are, are about to be deported back to Mexico. What better way to get rid of witnesses. Two rifles were recovered at the scene, both traced back to one of the "questionable" sales that the ATF insisted on letting go through.

Also in Alan's report is this.

“Senator Grassley’s inquiry has been met with stonewalling, but with these new revelations, the time for silence has passed. ATF officials in Phoenix who allowed this travesty to continue, over objections from field agents who knew better, should be fired. Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson should go immediately, and a new director, from outside of the agency, should be appointed to clean up this mess. If Eric Holder is not willing to hold ATF officials accountable, he should resign.”

There are several ATF agents that responded to Senator Grassley's original inquiry that got the ball rolling. David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh. Were instrumental in getting the ATF agents in touch with the right people. This has been brewing for months and only now is it being acknowledged by the main stream media.
Finally, CBS has aired a report on the situation.

Maybe now that CBS has aired some of the information something will get done. All DOJ has done is stonewall Senator Grassley's requests and refused to answer the letter he has sent them.

Right now, the best thing for every concerned citizen to do is contact your Representatives and Senators and demand an inquiry. That our own government would allow this to go on is beyond belief.
