I made sure I was home to watch the CBS news tonight. I have to say, I watched this with my jaw on agape. I am floored. It is so encouraging (albeit cautiously) to see the Old Media reporting on this without bias.

That ATF agent needs to watch his back. Mike, please watch your back. David too. The Beast doesn't like to be exposed like this. They hate the light of truth. I'll be praying for all three of you.

"Because there is no federal firearms trafficking statute, ATF must use a wide variety of other statutes to combat firearms trafficking. However, cases brought under these statutes are difficult to prove and do not carry stringent penalties — particularly for straw purchasers of guns,” the report noted."

I think we can expect a new push for a federal law which will be misused just as are those we already have.

The same Center for Public Integrity vilified the WASR 10 last month for its role in border violence.
