A collectivist fart in a hurricane: Firearm prohibitionists want more power for the ATF. Bad timing, pukes. The wreck of all prohibitionist hopes.


Paulie and me in happier times (for him).

Amid ATF flap, Dems pressure Obama to OK gun trafficking rules.

More than 40 House Democrats are calling on President Obama to approve new rules granting federal regulators more authority to crack down on gun trafficking to Mexico.

The request comes at an unfortunate time for the lawmakers, however, as the Department of Justice (DOJ) has just launched a probe into reports that hundreds of guns were lost amid a federal sting designed to track firearms by letting known smugglers buy them with impunity.


And then there is this priceless quote from my old buddy Paul Helmke:

"We are contributing to the disintegrating of the country to the south of our border," Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said last month on Capitol Hill. "We've got a serious problem [and] the ATF doesn't have the authority to solve it."


Hoo boy, buddy. Ride that broken down meme, cowboy. We are certainly "contributing to the disintegrating of the country to the south of our border" AND IT IS THE ATF'S PROJECT GUNRUNNER THAT IS DOING IT, YOU SCHMUCK.

Bad timing, indeed.

This amounts to a collectivist fart in a windstorm.

Poor Paulie. The Project Gunwalker scandal is the wreck of all of his prohibitionist hopes.


The Wreck of His Majesty Barack's Ship Gun Control. You'll have to look close to spot Paul Helmke, but he's there.

Don't kid yourself. The gun-grabbers have been down before, but they will keep coming back.

I don't know if ATF needs more of what they have demonstrated a penchant for abusing.

“Just one more tool to fight gun trafficking”

A pink slip along with a federal prison uniform for each of the idiots who dreamed up “Project Fast and Furious” (Gunwalker) and for those ATF managers who stupidly implemented and coerced the “boots on the ground” agents into participating in the program would be ideal tools to be used in the fight to keep guns out of Mexico.

Mike, Why didn't you sprinkle some salt on that slug while you had him at arms length?
