Mayors Against Illegal Guns issues new graphic in light of ATF's "Project Gunwalker" scandal!

Amending their report on The Movement of Illegal Guns Across the Border, MAIG just issued this new graphic:

A deep genuflection and tip of the boonie hat to Irregular Art for bringing this to my attention.

LATER: PS guys, you don't vett a joke. It's a joke.

Nobody's paid any attention to that; maybe that's because no one had died yet, as of the date of publication - September 2010.

Maybe now that one of those guns has killed a Border Patrol agent, things will start to happen.; January 20, 2011 at 8:39 AM

CarlS said...: Although the numbers might be a SWAG, we’ll never know until the BATF opens its’ case file to an independent investigation. After all, once the investigators have been shown to be lying oath-breaking blackmailing people without honor, how can their reports be trusted without verification? We need a SALT Treaty with the BATF; one that disbands, eliminates,dismantles, disposes, and verifies, each step of the way.; January 20, 2011 at 11:59 AM
Reg T said...: Methinks your source on this is employed by The Onion. While I completely agree with the graphic, it sure didn't come from MAIG :-); January 20, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Defender said...: Didja notice the date on the real MAIG graphic? September 2010.
Deliberately ignoring the debunking of the trace data.; January 20, 2011 at 1:22 PM
Backwoods Engineer said...: My buddies and I are sitting here laughing our butts off! BATFU causing 100% of recovered Mexican crime guns of US origin! Are these guys the F-troop, or what? Bunch of oathbreakers.; January 20, 2011 at 1:56 PM
Brock Townsend said...: Hilarious!; January 20, 2011 at 2:23 PM
Mark Matis said...: I do not seem to find this graphic on their web site. Wishful thinking, perhaps?; January 20, 2011 at 3:05 PM
Alvie D. Zane said...: I only wish I'd have thought of it. I would laugh, except that it adds up to 100% true.

But one problem. Where's the "Sarah Palin" wedge of the pie? Surely she's got 15-20% in there somewhere!?; January 20, 2011 at 5:53 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
