"David Olofson's Revenge"--Documents Related to ATF

It seems that David Olofson, the man targeted by the ATF for unjust and unusual punishment related to 'firearms violations,' can get at least some measure of revenge by 'this call for documents related to the ATF.'

Here is an excerpt from the article:

It happens that I was recently clued in to an excellent source on the ATF: the reports of the Congressional Research Service. These reports are available to every Congressman and Senator. Occasionally, the rest of us get to see them when they are leaked by one of the 635 elect or one of their staff.

Here is one from last year, leaked to the excellent website, WikiLeaks, which is an analysis of the ATF's budget and operations. There is another such annual report due now. It strikes me that this could be an excellent hobby for someone with connections to a congressional staffer -- download, print out, pdf file, post on the Internet and otherwise get these documents out into the public domain where they can be analyzed by experts in the Second Amendment community.

Incredible. Absolutely, unbelievably, freakin' incredible. Gateway Pundit quotes Barack Obama as saying overseas that even now, after the resounding success of the troop surge in Iraq, he would still oppose it. What a worthless little piece of sh**!

Days of our Trailers gives us an update on the various municipalities around Illinois that are rescinding their gun bans in light of the Heller decision.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/15/08

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

David Codrea at War on Guns has several items of interest posted today, the first of which is the fact that David's report on Len Savage in the Olofson case is receiving some widespread attention. And then, David reports some great news on gun rights from Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue. Finally, David has an important update from the Olofson family.

Armed and Safe is reporting today that D.C. has no intention of giving up its restrictive measures against handguns, the Supreme Court be damned.

FreedomSight provides further commentary on the D.C. outrage.

John Lott further reports that the vote by the D.C. council on the new gun laws will be TODAY.

The Hill reports that John McCain has outlined his plan on Afghanistan and slammed Barack Obama over his highly flawed statements on Iraq.

Cap'n Bob and the Damsel highly recommend the book Effective Handgun Defense.

Dark Blog says that the effectiveness of the conservative legal movement in minimizing the decades of liberal domination may have been greatly exaggerated.

Gateway Pundit reports that Barack Obama is frantically removing from his websites any former references to 'civil war' in Iraq or that the 'surge will not work.' Well, Mr. Magic-O-Bama, you may run but you cannot hide from your words or your record!

And get THIS one! Gateway Pundit also reports that in a speech yesterday Barack Obama referred to our Border Patrol Agents as 'terrorists.' What a complete bastard.

Sebastian has something here that makes my blood boil. A New York judge has declared that in the state of New York keeping and bearing arms is a privilege granted by state statutes and not a right. BASTARD! Looks like the fun has begun, folks.

Breda has some exciting news. She will be tonight's guest on Ahab and Squeaky's podcast called 'Gun Nuts--the Next Generation.' Congrats, Breda. Click on the link for the info.

Traction Control posts something that should be of grave concern to any gunowner. Barack Obama voted at least four times for legislation that would allow criminal charges to be brought against homeowners who use guns to defend their lives and families.

Mark Steyn unfortunately has ominous news today on his case in British Columbia. An appeal has been filed on the decision of the national Canadian Human Rights Commission to drop charges against him. Commies don't give up easily.

Nicki at The Liberty Zone announces great news. She and her co-writer of the book Ashmadai are going to have a book-signing (autograph party) at Waldenbooks. Read her post for the details.

David Codrea reports this item that makes my blood boil. If the Bill of Rights is not binding on the States, then that means free speech, free press, etc, etc, aren't, either. Damn the freakin' imbeciles!

Codrea also reports on another travesty of the law perpetrated by imbeciles. David Olofson has surrendered himself to authorities for his jail term because his rifled failed. Let that be a warning to all--the jackbooted thugs will hold YOU responsible if your 'semi-automatic' weapon misfires.

A Keyboard and a .45 posts this important message via the Dallas Morning News entitled, 'Messages From Iraq.'

Roberta X shows us yet another example of how the government and environmentalist wackos essentially screw the citizens in the you-know-what. Being an asthmatic myself, I am angry as hell about it. Roberta also has a link to something that dog lovers like me can relate to. A fellow blogger has lost her beloved puppy dog, Valentine.

Gateway Pundit reports that a major Democratic Party official has been arrested and charged with Satanic ritualistic sex crimes involving chaining people to beds, putting them in cages, and depriving them of food and water. The perpetrator and her husband were actively recruiting young people to join the Democratic Party to vote for Barack Obama.

The Western Rifle Shooters Association has this MUST-read on civil disobedience at the Atlanta airport.

Snow Flakes in Hell shows us something that he says is better than any freak show. Yep!

The American Thinker says that nutcase Wesley Clark has found a home among the other anti-Israeli advisers on the Barack Obama team.

Human Events reports that U.S. Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) is a 'gift that keeps on giving'--to his opponents. It seems the Senator has become a big embarrassment.

The Smallest Minority has the quote of the day.
