From Katie Pavlich at Townhall:
Democrat Representatives Maloney, Cummings and McCarthy, all members of the Minority on the House Oversight Committee chaired by Republican Congressman Issa, plan to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce new gun control anti-gun trafficking legislation in light of Operation Fast and Furious. The “Stop Gun Trafficking and Strengthen Law Enforcement Act,” is designed to “keep high powered firearms out of the hands of dangerous criminals, including Mexican drug cartels.”
It was back on June 17th, as the Gunwalker scandal really started to gain some traction, that I opined that the ultimate purpose might have been to justify a new round of gun control legislation. The fact that the Democrats are advancing this new bit of gun-grabbing indicates that I was correct – the patent absurdity of enacting a law with “strengthen law enforcement” in the title is just an example of Democrat chutzpah. My guess is that the attempt to do it right now is based upon a worry that they need something to deflect attention away from the scandal, or a conviction on their part that the scandal won’t catch on in the public mind.
Liberals are gun-grabbers, plain and simple. They hate the fact that average Americans possess fire arms. It flies right in the face of their ultimate desire to dictate every detail of our lives – from what sort of house we live in, to how we get around, to how the kids are raised, to whether or not we can worship God. An armed population just gets in the way of all this – so, they seek by any means necessary to take away our weapons. Do not be surprised that they cooked up a plan to provide guns to the cartels and then point to those weapons in cartel hands as a justification for gun control – this, to them, is just a clever tactic. That people had to die because of it is no matter – certainly no matter to a party which has ruthlessly defended the murder of tens of millions via abortion.
Eternal vigilance will be the price of keeping ourselves armed – they’ll never give up. The years will stretch on and issue after issue will come up, but our liberals will always, at some point or another, come back to an effort to disarm us. Never let up for a minute in defense of gun rights – the slightest, momentary slip could cost us everything.

obAMATEUR started this discussion with Mexico and other American (South and Central) countries as early as April 2009 during one of his visits to Mexico.

As soon as this scandal broke – it reminded me of his previous visits and discussions on international gun control and the Saul Alinsky tactic “never let a crisis go to waste”.
Well obAMATEUR and his Justice Department created the crisis.
the slightest, momentary slip could cost us everything.

A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything away from you.
The current regime is the most dangerous ever to set foot in America the constitution be damned.
Was al-O hussein the black cloud Washington dreamed about?
Neo, Hate to say it but yes he was. He is everything the establishment hoped and more.
what establishment?
The KBG?
or
communist/democrat party USA?
or
muslem brotherhood?
0r
all the above?
All of the above, of course.
Isn’t it curious how little interest the media has in this? But the hacking scandal by News Corp, now that’s real news.
I knew the BATF was incompetent in 1992 and you’ll have to admit this gunwalker scandal isn’t nearly as sensational as Waco.
OTOH the FBI announced an inquiry into allegation that victims of the 9/11 attacks had their phones hacked by reporters at News of The World. That’s closer to home for most Americans.
I suspect Cluster would have a much different opinion on phone hacking had ABC, NBC, CBS, MNSBC, or CNN had been caught behaving in complete and total unethical behavior. That is because they are the “MSM” (or as Sarah would call them – Lame Street Media”) – and not the “fair and balanced” network who hired potential GOP presidential candidates as employees. If any other network hired potential Democratic presidential candidates as “analysts” the outcry from the right would be deafening. There certainly are different rules for the Republicans and Democrats.
Please stop with the lies, ok frankly? I have never condoned News Corp actions, ever. Yet because of your political agenda, you prop up that strawman and start swinging at it, which all petulant children do.
Yeah, Velma, you “suspect” a lot.
Hint: It’s no substitute for knowing, though a whole lot easier and therefore your preference.
But as you claim there “are different rules for the Republicans and Democrats” are you ready to work on figuring out that there are different ideas for how to govern the country for Republicans and Democrats?
You might want to work on that—-it will ease the way to understanding why conservatives don’t vote for Liberal policies.

Yeah no SHIITE,
do da names – wright, faracan, resco, hamas, ayers, ring a familiar bell???
Yes, the News Corp scandal is real news and the fact that you seem to scoff at it; and perhaps even condone it, undermines your entire conservative bona fides. These “journalists” hacked into the the personal information of murder victims (and consequently disrupted the investigations and gave false hope to the victim’s family) fallen soldiers, crime victims and people who died on 9/11. Please let me know what is “conservative” about listening to people’s last words and they jumped out of burning buildings 1000+ ft in the air as they splattered all over the sidewalk.
Now this malignancy spreading to our very own “fair and balanced” Fox News. What’s fair about exploiting death for monetary gain? Perhaps you ought to express your opinion to the FBI and Peter King (R NY) and tell them that poor, beleaguered Murdoch is the real victim in all of this. Perhaps you ought to tell the former employees of NOTW; a paper in existence for over 100 yrs to tough it out and quit crying.
In case you haven’t noticed, this situation is not going away and there is a very real possibility that News Corp could loose their FCC license because of a lack of ethics and good character. (An actual FCC requirement.) And then bye-bye Fox News!
So yesterday thomas accused me of “hating art”, and now mitch says that I condone the News Corp scandal. Evidently, liberals are incapable of addressing issues without creating strawmen, of which Mitch did very well and then proceeded to beat that strawman down, all the while not acknowledging his imaginary construct. .
Mitch,
How many people died in the News corp scandal?
Is that your standard?? If someone dies!?!
I am not “a” liberal, I am liberal, in certain areas. In others; not so much.
You placed more value on gun control (or the lack thereof) than Murdoch’s employees attempting to profit from the already dead.
Face it, you are in the minority on this issue. And like clockwork, you defend the indefensible.
I am not defending anything mitch. I don’t condone it, despite your assertion, and think the chips should fall where they may. But I am surprised that when a border agent is killed because of the reckless policies of this regime, liberals like yourself aren’t all that concerned.
It says a lot.
mitch, if you are not a liberal, what are you?
How do you define “liberal”?
What is your standard for governing the country?
What is your ideology?
Do you think the Constitution is the law of the land?
Do you agree that the Constitution lays out the best way to run the country?
Do you believe the Constitution should be followed?
“The current regime is the most dangerous ever to set foot in America the constitution be damned.” Spook
Spook, have you had your guns confiscated by the government? Exactly what constitution rights have you lost since Obama has been president? Can you no longer practice your religion? Have you lost for freedom of speech? Considering what you write about the President on this blog everyday it does not appear so. Has the government taken your property? You apparently have not lost your right to life – you are still here. What about your liberty – has it been taken from you? And right to your pursuit of happiness. Has the government take that from you? Do you still get your government “entitlements”?
So, back to your statement, exactly why is this the most “dangerous regime” to ever set foot in America. And exactly what constitutional rights have you lost since January 2009? If you do not have any specific constitutional losses, then you are merely a political hack who hates this president because he is a Democrat and no other real legitimate reason for such a statement. Pathetic.
You could always move to another country if you believe this current “regime” is so horrible. I have a strong feeling he will be re-elected in 2012 so you will be in for another horrible “unconstitutional” four years of existence.
Have you lost for freedom of speech?
To some extent, yes. Any criticism of Obama is immediately ridiculed and the criticizer is quickly labeled a racist, which stops a lot of people from speaking out.
Do you still get your government “entitlements”?
No, never have.
why is this the most “dangerous regime” to ever set foot in America.
He has weakened our dollar, tripled our debt, divided our country, increased unemployment, chastized job creators, and has made our country a joke in the eyes of our enemies.
You could always move to another country if you believe this current “regime” is so horrible.
We suggested the same for you when Bush was President, but you stuck around,, so I guess we will too. Besides it will be a lot of fun to see Obama cry when he flys off in Marie One on 1/20/13!
funkymydear
so you will be in for another horrible “unconstitutional” four years of existence
we pray not.
4 packs a day and french fries im buying!
“Any criticism of Obama is immediately ridiculed and the criticizer is quickly labeled a racist, which stops a lot of people from speaking out.”
So when criticism of Bush was immediately ridiculed and had the criticizer quickly labeled as “un-American”/”unpatriotic”/”pro-terrorist,” did that mean people’s freedom of speech was taken away?
Take your time.
I can not wait until the childish liberals are shamed into minority status in 1/20/13. Then, their irrational screams will be ignored and hopefully their collective blood vessels will pop, quieting them for eternity.
One can dream, right?
