Are You Frickin' Kidding Me?!?

Apparently part of the POS Stimulus Bill went to funding a certain BATFE program that directly channeled weapons to straw buyers and Mexican drug gangs.

For an additional amount for ‘State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance’, $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to ‘Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses’ for the ATF Project Gunrunner.

And you're saying that no one in the Administration knew about it?!?

New Toy on Order

I have a deposit down on a Ruger SR1911 and I can't wait for it to come in. A US made stainless 1911 for under $700? Whoever heard of such a thing? I haven't had a pistol in about 14 years and I've sorely missed having one. The last one was the perfect carry piece; Smith & Wesson 469 9mm...12+1, bobbed hammer, lo-pro sights and Pachmeyer grips that made it feel like it was part of my hand. Oh, and it was made from METAL!! I still can't get my head around the plastic pistols; they just don't feel right.
I'll post pictures when I get it.

Pig Gun Coming Along

So, the PEPR mount finally came in for the DPMS .308 and I mounted up the Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 and the Midwest Industries quad-rail foreend. It looks great and I can't wait to get to the range to zero it in. Still looking to add a bipod and 200 watt weapon light. Then, it's Adios Puerco, Hola Carnitas.

BATF and Justice in Deep Mierda

So, in a recent article on Foxnews.com, Congress is about to ream the BATF and the Justice Department over Operation Fast and Furious; a program of allowing and encouraging gun dealers in border states to knowingly sell large quantities of weapons to straw buyers in an ultimately futile effort to track them to Mexican drug gangs. The program spun wildly out of control and most of the weapons disappeared from sight. Some of these weapons have been used to kill Mexican law enforement officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents.

It's ironic that BATF/Justice would allow this to happen with high-velocity, high-capacity, semi-automatic weapons but continues to "Delay" me when I try to purchase a lever-action rifle that fires handgun ammo.

Tsunami in Hawaii

With the huge earthquake in Japan today comes a Tsunami warning for Hawaii. I hope it doesn't wash away Obama's original birth certificate.

New Toy

Well, not exactly new...
I finally bought my .308...technically a 7.62x51 (or 7.62NATO) rifle. It is a DPMS Sportical. Need to make a few additions to it, like a quad-rail foreend, BUIS and a better optic. I've decided to sell the WASR to fund the additions, as I've lost faith in it to hit anything beyond 50 yards, and I already have several carbines that can hit dimes at that distance.
