In a move worthy of the benchmark set by the Soviet bloc for public manipulation, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md) is going to hold Democratic hearings on “Project Gunwalker” tomorrow, Main Justice tells us.
Why? Why is this a partisan issue? And why am I convinced this will not be a sincere attempt to delve into the truth of criminal government actions? Well, the guest list, for one:
Speakers at the minority hearing will include Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), a former ATF agent and several gun control advocates.
That’s the Chuck Schumer who notoriously said:
"We`re going to hammer guns on the anvil of a relentless legislative strategy. We`re going to beat guns into submission."
The same Chuck Schumer who said:
"Like flat-earth fanatics, Second Amendment Fanatics just don`t get it. The NRA`s Second Amendment is an empty cereal box in the market place of ideas."
So much for his respect for our most cherished rights and our beliefs. So much for his understanding of the Constitution he swore an oath to uphold. And so much for any chance of this subversive career parasite ever leaving us the hell alone.
What does the government knowingly allowing uncounted guns to be walked into the hands of some of the most violent criminals on the planet have to do with gun control advocacy? Why are they invited?
Also, who is the “former ATF agent” going to be? As “No Lawyers-Only Guns and Money” blog confirms, “Rep. Cummings has not posted a release or notice about the hearings on the House Oversight Committee's website.”
Why not? And might it be Waco Jim, as the blog suspects?
And how does bait-and-switch shilling for more citizen disarmament square with another solemn pledge Cummings made (aside from that ritual formality of an oath that he never had any intention of keeping)?
“I promise you we will not rest until every single person responsible – no matter who they are – are put to justice,” Cummings told members of Brian A. Terry’s family.
The thought occurs—it was when the Democrats did hold partisan dominance that the pleas to address ATF management waste, abuse corruption and fraud went ignored.Repeatedly. By Cummings & Co. and his media co-conspirators. If they had done their damn job, Gunwalker never would have happened. You go, Old Bloodyhands!
And for those who say the suspicion that Gunwalker being exploited to justify more power for ATF and impose more “gun control” on you and me is a baseless right wing conspiracy theory, just what the hell do you think every effort by the regressive left to do just that, right in front of our eyes—from the gungrabber groups to the oath-breaking political whores to the “Authorized Journalist” Fourth Estate/Fifth Column—has been about? Just what the hell do you think tomorrow is going to be about?
That’s something, isn’t it? If Gunwalker worked, they’d go for more power and gun control. If Gunwalker didn’t work, they’d go for more power and gun control.
Heads we win, tails you lose.

Note to newcomers to this story: “Project Gunrunner” is the name ATF assigned to its Southwest Border Initiative to interdict gun smuggling to Mexico. “Project Gunwalker” is the name I assigned to the scandal after allegations by agents that monitored guns were allowed to fall into criminal hands on both sides of the border through a surveillance process termed “walking” surfaced.
