NRA News: Eric Holder’s Hell Week – More Fast & Furious Fallout

Cam Edwards talks to Michael Walsh from the New York Post on all the scandals US Attorney General Eric Holder has confronted this week. – NRA News.


NY Post: Still Waiting for Accountability

Is the liberal media getting impatient when it comes to Fast and Furious? It seems to be the case, as this week The New York Post offered a story titled, “’Fast and furious’ failure – still waiting for accountability.” That headline says plenty but the story offers this commentary as well:

“Attorney General Eric Holder had better watch out because it was his office that approved the plan and then allowed it to remain active long after it was clear that the only outcome was bloodshed. Why shouldn’t the man at the top of that organization deliver his resignation?”

We’ve been asking the same thing for more than six months, but apparently the opinion is now shared in the mainstream media as well.

Firing Back: Should Bankers Have Guns? Why Not, We Ask?

Look for this to become big news… Wall Street big wigs are getting guns. Well, not quite. Media outlets around the New York City area are reporting that some bankers are applying for pistol permits. What isn’t typically mentioned is that any New York resident, at least those who haven’t been convicted of a crime or have a mental illness, can apply. Many media outlets are also failing to report what a difficult and time consumer – not to mention expenses process it is to go through!

At least the New York Posted noted this much:

“At least Goldman bankers, who can make tens of millions a year, will find the permit fees relatively cheap: Registration and fingerprinting charges total $434.25.”

That’s right. For everyone, millionaire or not, the fees are nearly $450 in New York to obtain what the U.S. constitution says you have a right to own. And note that this is fingerprinting, as in the same type of fingerprinting people who are actually arrested go through. But if Mike Bloomberg had his way, he’d probably make it a crime to apply for a gun permit!
