Et Tu, CCRKBA? - The War on Guns

Attkisson originally broke the story about the Fast and Furious scandal, and Dodson was the man who came forward 16 years ago to expose that debacle. [More]

Even Google, which has a history of suppressing my stuff, can’t deny it:

Yeah, but that’s just AI, notoriously unreliable and as I myself have commented, is rife with GIGO.

Fortunately, documentation of contemporaneous posts still exists, albeit via the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine because Examiner.com took down all content and transitioned into a stock site. (And Mike’s original reporting is still available as long as Sipsey Street Irregulars remains up on Blogspot, albeit you need to know what to search for.)

That and I have a f_ton of emails and correspondence I have never made public because they could conceivably still cause issues for whistle-blowers whose anonymity I pledged to protect, and we never agreed to an end date on that. You’ll just have to take my word for it, and weigh it against the reporting I have made public. Maybe some day, in my copious free time, I’ll post them with identities suppressed, but that would take time I don’t have that it’s not worth it to me to compile considering my limited readership and the reality that it would remain frozen in a niche echo chamber.

Sorry not sorry if it seems like I’m being petty, territorial, and egotistical here, but truth is truth, and the truth is I’m pretty sick and damn tired of me ‘n Mike continually being bigfooted and written out of our own story for 15 years now, and to see it come from people whose work I routinely publicize does not improve my mood.

Well, I know the truth because I was an active reader of “The Gun Rights Examiner” at the time. To your credit David, you did give some acknowledgement to Attkisson as well as Willian Lajeunesse when they finally picked up the story.

What did you do (lately) to piss of Gottlieb?

Clean up the ATF eh? Good times good times. Decent JOURNALISM rather than URINALISM means of course peeling back the layers of that onion to reveal the underlying machinations.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
