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

Fortune article debunked

Remember this story. This alleged 6 month investigation proved that Fast and Furious was made up to embarrass Obama and Holder. The gun haters were jumping for joy. Their hero had been vindicated because the Republicans and the evil NRA were making up lies. They spread the word far and wide that F&F was a scam to keep the One from being re-elected.

The government, in a report available here take Ms. Eban's article apart with the true findings of the Congressional investigation.

Fortune’s “investigation” is exposed as a hit piece full of errors and omissions.

Rather than a fair accounting with information that contradicted her thesis, the end result
was a one-sided, hit piece that attempted to discredit whistleblowers who testified to Congress
and defend the supervisors responsible for overseeing the reckless operation. The criticisms of
whistleblowers in the story were thinly sourced and often petty.
Below, the article is reproduced in its entirety in block quotations, with appropriate
corrections, context, and other comments.

I can just imagine people like Bloomberg and Peterson having fits since their new Heroine has been taken to the woodshed for her lies. It's a rather long read, but well worth the time.
