"Americans know that this administration is no holds bar anti-Second Amendment; they all have made no bones about it. So it should not surprise Americans that this administration would try something like 'Operation Fast and Furious' to try to set up law abiding American gun dealers to take the fall for guns going over the border into Mexico and used to commit murder. This would give the Obama administration the 'numbers' to 'prove' there needs to be more gun control in America; since they do not have the proof they need at this point because majority of guns used in the cartel murders are from the Mexican Army itself or other Central and South American countries. ..." ... |

"I support the Second Amendment. That might seem like a strange subject for your consumer investigator, so allow me to explain."
"I�ve wrestled with how much say the government should have in our right to bear arms my entire adult life. I�ve reported many cases of innocent children accidentally shot and killed through the negligence of adults ... I was sharing one such case with a friend when he expressed his reasons for supporting the right of private citizens to bear arms. He said, 'the fear of an uprising from armed citizens is the only thing that protects us from the tyranny of the government.'"
"I thought he was kidding. 'What?' I said. 'This is the United States of America. We don�t need to be protected from the government.' I was wrong. ..." ... |

"As part of my ongoing quest for the perfect ankle holster, I hit up Galco Gunleather. They sent me a care package containing three different ankle holsters suitable for my main carry gun: a Glock 26. Coincidentally enough, the Glock 26 weighs 26 ounces loaded. Depending on your stems, that�s near the upper limit weight-wise for reasonably comfortable ankle carry. Which worked out well for this review; the Gaston�s pistol stressed the holster�and my leg�sufficiently to expose the weaknesses of both the holster and this style of carry. Contenders ready?" ... |

... "... Presumably Holder will fight the subpoena in court, but he�s going to have to claim executive privilege to quash it � and that opens up a real can of worms. So far there has been no direct connection to Barack Obama to Fast and Furious, but in order to shield communications from people on this list, the administration will have to claim that it will infringe on Obama�s ability to get advice on this subject � which will mean an admission that Obama was involved in it. ..." ... |

"What did the President know and when did he know it, goes the old Washington adage. Thus did the American people learn [recently] in separate but equally startling revelations that the Obama Administration knew more about two scandals than it has been revealing. The first is regarding the Operation Fast and Furious gun running disaster and the second is the now-bankrupt, Obama-backed Solyndra solar power company. Both instances provoke serious questions for the White House and demand long-overdue action." ... |

One hour before the council changed the law, however, the 7th Circuit granted Ezell's earlier request for an injunction with an emergency reversal ruling."
"The city moved to dismiss the case as moot, asserting that the council had given Ezell all the relief she sought. But Ezell claimed that the city's new web of restrictions on firing ranges effectively operates as a new ban on gun ranges."
