"I'm shocked! Shocked! To find gunwalking going on here!"
Email correspondence and handwritten notes obtained today by David Codrea of the National Gun Rights Examiner and this correspondent provide details on information and strategy being shared between top level officials of the Department of Justice and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, including between Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer and then-ATF Acting Director Kenneth Melson.

Readers will recall that on 4 February 2011, Ronald Weich the Justice Department's Assistant Attorney General wrote a letter to Senator Charles Grassley, saying, "ATF makes every effort to interdict weapons that have been purchased illegally and prevent their transportation to Mexico."

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
These Sipsey Street guys are the new DRUDGE —he’s an indefatiguable digger unearthing gem after gem.
I have been freeping over 10 years, and for me Sipsey Street irregulars is an INDEPSENSIBLE addition to Drudge and FreeRepulic.
They’re simply fantastic —he’s doing the work of 1,000 presstitutes, apparently for free, or nearly free.
TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
Right now there are three sources for most of the information we are getting. Sipsey Street Irregulars, David Cordrea of the Gunrights Examiner, and Sharyl Attkisson’s stories on CBS.
They have given the House committee and Issa meat and potatoes to feed on. Now, we want the desert.
You take the sand and cactii —I’ll take the Peach Cobbler a-la-mode. ^_^
And from the looks of it, there’s going to be TONS of nice Peach Cobbler, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm....!
This is so great —the level of lawlessness I’m finally reading is....it’s just astonishing.
BTTT and thanks for the ping.
