Enemies Foreign and Domestic

A $10 billion lawsuit that Mexico’s government filed against American gun makers whose weapons it says are used by drug cartels can go ahead, a U.S. appeals court ruled Monday. [More]

It’ll be overturned. But in the meantime, time, money, and effort that could have been better applied will be wasted on a lawsuit that should have resulted in sanctions.

This is the Obama-appointed subversive who wrote the panel opinion. He also denied a FOIA for abortion mill grant docs from HHS.

He was confirmed 88-12. Find the Republican traitors here.

Susan Collins literally gushed.

Good one! And they’re headline whoring for the same reasons.

None Dare Call It Treason

Thompson, Goldman, Castro Introduce Bill to Disarm Cartels by Stopping Trafficking of American Guns Across Southern Border [More]

So they want to disarm Americans while cartels through their puppets continue to amass military-grade weapons and military-age men pour over the border Democrats want open for their superhighway to citizenship…

Still want to pretend it’s not germane to the “single issue,” “gun rights leaders”?

Reports of Gun Smuggling to Mexico Recalls Fast and Furious Gunwalking Plot

The intent here appears to be to once more blame “lax American gun laws” for Mexican cartel carnage and to assist in the deception… [More]

Gunwalker 2.0

ATF Employee Caught Gun Running to Mexico [More]

This is the topic I was thinking of writing up in detail.

I do have a quibble:

The Mexican Government makes the bold claim that 70% of all guns used in crimes were smuggled into Mexico from the United States.

That used to be the claim the antis all made, but they started at “95 to 100 percent.” Now the DSM is more properly qualifying things by saying:

Nearly 70% of TRACED [emphasis added] firearms used to commit crimes and seized in Mexico come from the United States, according to ATF.

So instead of being a flat-out lie, it’s now an insidious lie of omission, because they don’t then inform:

No specific numbers on how many of those guns “recovered in Mexico and traced back to the United States” were, in fact, military purchases, but the State Department cables indicate a portion of the fewer than 12 percent of the traceable weapons actually came from the United States in gun shop/individual type purchases. Remember, that’s not 12 percent of the tens of thousands of weapons recovered – it’s only 12 percent of the weapons recovered that were traceable. It’s nowhere near the 12 percent figure that has been misquoted and used as evidence of the United State’s “horrific” problem of illegal gun sales.

Now, tell us more about the drunks…

We’re the Only Ones Gunwalking Enough

A former investigator with the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is accused of trafficking weapons to Mexico while he was an employee of the bureau in 2017, according to a letter sent to the ATF Director this week by US Senator Charles Grassley. [More]

Jeez, another letter…?

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

I went to Grassley’s “News Releases” page and didn’t see the letter. I asked him for a copy:

Anybody have a link?

I started an AmmoLand article on this but then found another writer was working on it. I’ll wait for that one to see if there’s anything substantive I can add.
