  • Wayne Winsley (R): In a media release posted on his website, and in response to U.S Attorney General Eric Holder's letter to Representative Darrell Issa (CA-R), Wayne Winsely said, "Eric Holder’s last appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee … demonstrated to the American people, yet again - the Attorney General’s smug defiance in an attempt to buy time and continue to obfuscate facts, in what increasingly is perceived as an apparent attempt to cover up much of the Fast and Furious debacle."

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
