Linn County (Oregon) Sheriff Tim Mueller, "We are Americans," Mueller wrote. "We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws." Thanks to Lenore Skenazy - what we're seeing is "Post-Traumatic Stupidity Syndrome"

So, how much will it cost the taxpayers to fly the children and their parents to DC, feed them, provide nice hotel rooms for them, and entertain them???????

Under the guise of tracing, the ATF already has a backdoor registration system through ATF's National Tracing Center and eTrace (internet tracing system), and have been repeatedly advocating enlarging the scope of the system. The 1986 Firearms Owners’ Protection Act specifically forbids registration of firearms records at 18 U.S.C. 926(a), yet ATF has been quietly accumulating millions of firearms registration records.

One of the more ominous quotes: "In addition to potential legislative proposals, Biden’s group has expanded its focus to include measures that would not need congressional approval and could be quickly implemented by executive action..."

Author of the original article exposing addresses of firearm permit holders, Dwight R. Worley. Mr. Worley owns a S&W .357 but withheld his own name and address from the list of gun owners published. Does this smell of hypocrisy? Dwight R. Worley 23006 139 Ave Springfield Gardens, NY 11413 (718) 527-0832 Tax Watch Reporter at the Journal News/LoHud.com “Journal News reporter Dwight R. Worley owns a Smith & Wesson 686 .357 Magnum and has had a residence permit in New York City for that weapon since February 2011.”

The NRA makes a valid point. Armed guards already protect the President, his children, other government officials, Members of Congress, Federal Buildings, Courts, celebrities, airlines, and banks. Are all of these more important than our children?

Where was Obama's outrage over "Fast and Furious"? Hundreds (if not thousands) of deaths in Mexico as a direct result of ATF allowing and facilitating sales of "assault weapons" to straw purchasers & smugglers in Arizona. But those deaths were "only Mexicans" and not innocent American children.....

"All are expected to receive full retirement benefits." Ouch! That's gotta hurt! How many lashes with a wet noodle? As the Mexican Death Toll Could Exceed 120,000 As Calderon Ends Six-Year Reign? How many deaths are a direct result of "Fast & Furious"? Way to go, guys..... Our tax dollars at work.

Say What??? "When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it." Don't you mean "When Eric Holder found out about it, he lied to Congress about it - more than once. Then, when the truth was visible to the entire country, withdrew the letter! Transparency? My A$$..... Oh, wait.... You're right - we can see right through it!
