NBC News ignores Gunwalker, continues anti-gun propaganda agenda
Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 10 February, 2012 | David Codrea

Posted on 02/12/2012 6:35:15 AM PST by marktwain

“The gunwalking story has never been mentioned on either NBC Nightly News or the Today show,” Geoffrey Dickens reports in a Feb. 8 Media Research Center “Reality Check” piece.

Perhaps that’s not quite fair. After all, MSNBC’s “Politics Nation” with Al Sharpton gave Rep. Elijah Cummings unchallenged time to make his case that the congressional Fast and Furious investigation is an “election-year witch hunt” against Eric Holder by Republicans, gunwalking was George Bush’s fault, and the real problem is we need more gun control.

So leave it to “Today” to send “national investigative correspondent” Jeff Rossen to Phoenix of all places, and rather than say word one about Gunwalker, instead perform the same sham straw purchase media stunt that’s already gotten no traction when unabashed anti-gun activists pulled it. And note they always do it where it’s nice and safe, and no real illegal transfers actually get recorded, as opposed to going undercover where they’ll meet real “dangerous criminals” and terrorists, like on domestic urban gang turf, or better yet, in Ciudad Juárez.

The truth of the matter: There are no “internet gun sales.” Sure. people can advertise there, just as they can in newspaper classified ads, but the transactions take place in person and federal law already states prohibited persons can’t buy guns, prohibits interstate sales without federal firearms licensees processing transfers, and if a private seller knows or has reason to believe a buyer may not legally purchase a gun, they may not lawfully proceed with the sale. It’s right there in U.S. Code.

Yes I know all of that.
Me saying it to the dems I work with would carry no weight.
Showing a link or evidence they can read on their own is better. These people are dems by habit, but not inherently bad. You know the type “ my daddy was a dem, his daddy was a dem, etc yada yada!” If say it its partisan, if they read it on their own they might not interpret the information on its own merits.

That would be a good start. Four ATF field agents testify under oath that they "never even heard of intentionally letting guns "walk" before F&F."

Look up a video from 2009 w assistant AG David Ogden. He made it very clear that they were going to go well beyond wide receiver.
