Holder and Issa trade jabs at Fast and Furious hearing

When Representative Issa asks when Holder will start holding his team accountable for the mistakes made during Operation Fast and Furious, Holder busts out his attitude and says he's certainly going to crack down on those blasted whistleblowers!  At HotAir:

Er, really?  The ATF sent thousands of high-powered weapons across the border into the hands of the cartel, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds, including a US Border Patrol agent, and Holder is ready to act right now against the people informing Congress of what actually took place in Holder’s organization?  Well, it is accountability of a sort, I suppose, but it’s more useful as a peek into Holder’s priorities.

Another ATF Op missing guns? Will "White Gun" be the next Gun Walker?

Maybe not on the same scale as the epic fail known as Fast and Furious, but already there are more allegations of missing firearms from a previously unknown operation White Gun.

Young single mother fires on home invader while on the phone with 911

An 18 year old woman who lost her husband to cancer was able to protect herself and infant son by firing on a man who broke into her house. He knew she would be there alone, and there was no way that anyone could have made it to her home before the pair kicked in the door.

While on the phone with 911, the dispatcher told her she should do what she needed to protect her kid. She did. She was forced to choose between the bad guy and her son, and it wasn't going to be her son. A good illustration of the saying "when seconds count, the police are minutes away." via Yahoo!

A young Oklahoma mother shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby on New Year's Eve, less than a week after the baby's father died of cancer.

Sarah McKinley says that a week earlier a man named Justin Martin dropped by on the day of her husband's funeral, claiming that he was a neighbor who wanted to say hello. The 18-year-old Oklahoma City area woman did not let him into her home that day.

Obama Says He Won't Be Bound by Gun Control Ban in Omnibus

Super.

Bad news: Big Government has excreted an unread 1,221-page $915 billion omnibus spending bill, giving America another hard shove toward insolvency.

Good news: at least it contains a provision preventing authoritarians from using the money to deprive us of our precious Second Amendment liberties.

More bad news: Obama has put it on the record that he plans to ignore this stipulation. John Frazer of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action explains:

The Second Amendment won’t be the only casualty of the Audacity of Arrogance. As the division of powers crumbles, we are losing our whole system of limited government.

Tennessee tourist arrested at 9/11 memorial for trying to do the right thing

NY is getting some attention with this.  Another case, similar circumstances.

Ryan Jerome was enjoying his first trip to New York City on business when the former Marine Corps gunner walked up to a security officer at the Empire State Building and asked where he should check his gun.

That was when Jerome’s nightmare began. The security officer called police and Jerome spent the next two days in jail.

The 28-year-old with no criminal history now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of three and a half years in prison. If convicted, his sentence could be as high as fifteen years.

Jerome has a valid concealed carry permit in Indiana and visited New York believing that it was legal to bring his firearm. He was traveling with $15,000 worth of jewelry that he planned to sell.

The online gun-law information Jerome read was inaccurate, however, and his late September arrest initiated what may become a protracted criminal saga. He hasn’t yet been indicted by a grand jury, but there may be little legal wiggle-room if he is.
