House Dems Set to Demonize Gun Owners with Gunwalker Forum
It is, sadly, a combination of grandstanding and defensive politics.
Cummings is a gun control advocate, and has been for quite some time — a position no doubt hardened by the murder of his nephew in April. But Cummings is also the ranking member of the Democratic delegation to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and was a member in the previous Congress where calls to clean up the organization by other whistleblowers had been ignored.
The primary reason Cummings is calling this forum was clearly indicated in his actions earlier this year, when he refused to sign a letter to President Obama asking the White House to direct the Department of Justice to cooperate with the Gunwalker investigation. At the time the Oversight Committee had authored the letter asking the president to compel DOJ officials to provide documents relating to the scandal to the committee. Cummings refused to sign the letter asking for the evidence, which all other Democrats on the committee did.
Cummings’ aide defended his actions by claiming:
The Justice Department (DOJ) had recently been cooperating very well with Issa’s subpoena for documents relating to the gun-tracking operation.
“It’s not consistent with what we’ve been experiencing with DOJ,” the aide said. “As of late they’ve been cooperating and showing us documents and pulling together documents in response to the subpoena, so I can’t imagine that given what we know about the investigation that we would have signed a letter saying that DOJ was not cooperating.”
The assertion by Cummings’ aide that the DOJ ever cooperated with the Oversight Committee is a blatant falsehood. It is a statement of a party loyalist attempting to shield his president and by extension, the Democratic Party, as much as possible from expected Gunwalker fallout.
The reams of heavily redacted “black paper” submitted by the Justice Department to the Oversight Committee stood in stark contrast to the congressman’s claims of cooperation. In addition to sending useless blacked-out pages, the Department of Justice supplied just one witness to the Oversight Committee hearings — an official from a separate branch of the Justice Department from the Criminal Division that was the conduit to the ATF on Gunwalker. It was a bit of brinksmanship that allowed the DOJ to make the disgraceful if accurate claim that they did send “someone” to the Oversight hearings, even though that “someone” had the explicit job of saying “I don’t know” repeatedly.
Instead of seeking answers from those Obama administration officials who are culpable for a rogue government program that has left cops, soldiers, and civilians dead, the congressman from Baltimore will use his position in order to provide airtime to those who would place blame at the feet of American citizens.
There may be a more disreputable role for a congressman to play during such a scandal, but I’m finding it hard to think of one.
And Cummings recently lost a nephew to an apparently random shooting. You’d think he’d have some empathy for the people who have lost loved ones to the BATF’s walked guns.
and america has lost two federal agents to this operation that was sanctioned by the ATF, and in some cases even watched as guns were bought and loaded into cars.
Blacks in leadership positions have not lived up to their end of the the social “bargain”! Largely, they are a blight on the body politic, and do nothing to really advance the plight of black Americans. Wake up, “African-America”.
Rob – What I find most puzzling about blacks in general, and the black “leadership” in particular is their opposition to gun ownership and their attachment to the Democrat party. On the issue of gun ownership, part of the reason for the 14th Amendment was to give blacks the right to keep and bear arms, and yet many blacks are against the right of the people to do so. As regards the blacks’ attachment to the Democratic party I am even more puzzled. It was the Democrats after all who were on the wrong side in 1861 and it was southern Democrats who did everything they could to keep blacks down and apart from the rest of the population; and it was the Democrat party that passed all kind of labor laws that increased black unemployment. One can only hope that blacks eventually come to realize the destruction that the Democrat party has wrought on them.
You really don’t get what the goal is here do you, Jack? As far as Cummings et. al. are concerned the problem is NOT gun violence in the cities, black on black crime, or even the border war.
The problem is white people with guns. White people with guns are people who resist the entire principle of “Social Justice” (redistribution of every aspect of their lives to “minorities” and the creation of a Socialist State) justice and based on the idea that they have the God-given right as enumerated in the Constitution to do so.
Blacks aren’t going to resist the government in anything – they rely on it for their support so they will go along with whatever and they have been primed to focus on Social Justice as “the promised road to riches” for decades.
A white guy with a gun is one who will resist:
Reparations for slavery and Jim Crowe.
ReConquista of the Southwest for Mexico.
The creation of an African Nation in the Southeast.
Redistribution of housing, jobs, education opportunities, retirement savings, healthcare access, political power at the ballot box and in the courts, and the rights listed under the Constitution.
Personal retribution by aggrieved minority individuals (assaults, robbery, home invasion).
Removal of children from parents to state control and social and sexual indoctrination.
The oppression of Christianity / promotion of Islam and atheism.
Population redistribution (eliminating suburbs and rural housing, eliminating healthcare for senior whites, birth control mandates, more extreme measures – ethnic cleansing).
All of these things are part and parcel of the plans the left has for America. Guns are a hindrance to implementing them. Get rid of the guns from whitey, and then they can give whitey the treatment that they have been dreaming of for their whole life.
Dang, Wayne!
You’re list was a perfect discription of……ME!!!
Oh, wait….I’m a White guy with a gun…..Heh, heh, heh…
Why to go Amren, I also have a weapon and I ready to use it when the time comes.
Amen
Maxine Waters, Jessee Jackson and his son, Al sharpton Obama et al where the hell are the black leaders. All I see is a bunch of Black men tearing down everything MLK lived and fought for
Wayne, do you know the reason Whitey resist’s ?? He’s sick of Lefty be he or she black or white trying to tell him what to do or not to do !!!!!
cummings like most of the dmned democrats is only interested in one thing. DISARMING the American people as hitler did the Germans prior to ww2 so they can not defend themselves. hopefully next election cummings and a hell of a lot of democrats will be gone. I intend doing my part to get rid of them,
This is true. I think of the NAACP having pro bono legal representation on behalf of the Wash DC district against Heller.
The reason? “The disproportionate amount of African Americans affected by gun violence in the district”.
Yes it is black folks getting shot there. By black criminals. They NAACP wants to disarm law abiding black folks along with every other law abiding person.
You are precisely right. The left wants to disarm the American people in order to ensure that their future plans to disenfranchise us are more likely to succeed. They want a nation of slaves with themselves as the masters.
Right Wayne, about that time is when I pack up my weapons and move to Switzerland.
BINGO! That’s where they are heading
In the Waco hearings, the U.S. Senate Democrats under Charles Schumer did the same thing, turning an inquiry into BATF’s missteps and the FBI’s subsequent bungling of the “siege” into a show trial of the NRA, basically saying, “If you had just let us ban guns decades ago, this wouldn’t have happened!”
This is roughly equivalent to the neighborhood bully throwing a rock through your picture window, and then having his parents tell you “If you hadn’t put that window there, this wouldn’t have happened!”
True as far as it goes. But it fails to address the real issue. That being the ambitions, illegalities, and plain incompetence of the BATFE- all of which are an old story. So old that at some point, we must not merely acknowledge that BATFE is a failed, rogue agency, but abolish it altogether, and permanently.
And this is of course exactly what the Democrats’ “minority hearings” are intended to prevent. BATFE has simply been too useful to progressives, as a club for beating people they hate over the head. (I.e., gun owners, whom they consider semantically equivalent to racist white rednecks.) As long as BATFE exists, it allows them to both constantly attack a “culture” they despise, and feel good about themselves while doing it. Plus increasing their power over the peasantry, whom they consider themselves superior to.
Which is exactly what “progressivism” is all about.

It is no different than suing the bar, the maker of the alcohol, and the car manufacturer because some ‘drunk driver’ kills someone.
Isabel Paterson noted in The God of the Machine that the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment was insufficient to retract “the pernicious usurped power” that Washington had arrogated via Prohibition. What she left unsaid, but is at least as pertinent, is that Prohibition and the consequent gangland violence gave birth to the modern anti-gun movement. Until then, with the exception of a few major cities, there were essentially no barriers to the private ownership of firearms of any kind — and no perceptible movement to erect such barriers.
No, the Twenty-First Amendment most certainly didn’t undo the BATF. But given the historical backdrop, wouldn’t you say it should have?
Wrong about when weapon control got started. Tribes or bandit gangs that conquered new areas wanted to make sure the conquered did not have weapons, so they banned the subject people having weapons.
Some of the conquered people came to regard the lack of weapons as virtue instead of oppression, it’s why so many Jews are anti firearm, and why people like Code Pink exist.
If loose gun laws were to blame, why were gun dealers refusing to sell to the smugglers until the ATF ordered them to do so?
I bet the two-faced lying scum at the ATF will trow those cooperate dealers under the bus.
I’m wondering if those “straw” purchasers we not setups.
Old Soldier,
You can bet they’ll try to throw the dealers under the bus! It’s not bad enough that Officer Brian Terry, a friend of mine, was killed because of the ATF’s crap, they WILL try to take down the dealers, too. At the very least they will revoke their FFLs. Count on it.
Old Soldier you make a great point. Gun stores should never cooperate with ATF without a written document spelling out what ATF wants and who is responsible for what. As a LEO, I can tell you if my agency was entering into a major investigation with another federal agency, there would be a Memo of Understanding outlining the responsiblities and duties of each agency. Maybe some of the gun rights lawyer can come up with a standard MOU for guns shops to use with ATF.
Recently, my office in the Air Force was having something added to our responsibilities, and I had to draft a Memorandum of Agreement just to make sure that our customer didn’t leave us holding the bag for something that would get us in trouble if they screwed up.
Treason, plain & simple. These people are among the most anti-American scum in the district of criminals.
The Chicago police chief made a speech about guns that was really about the people of Chicago having no self control and lacking any responsibility in their behavior. Sad but it was a horrible claim he made. Then you have the ATF whistleblower that got canned yesterday. If he was a businessman that blew the whistle on a corporation he would be paraded through the streets with rose pedals at his feet. Instead we get Helmke and other political hacks pointing fingers in the opposite direction from the truth.
They need to be laughed out of the room.
“The ATF plans, authorizes, and directs the sale of two thousand weapons to straw buyers in a sting operation. Then loses track of them. These weapons are later used to murder Border Patrol Agents and Mexican Police, Civilians and Soldiers. You are going to try to shift the blame for ATF, DOJ and IRS incompetence to the people who co-operated with you?”
“There is a lesson here for all Americans. If a Federal employee asks you for anything, seek legal counsel.”
Is that really what you want to tell the American people?
I believe that this hearing is just a ploy to remove the spotlight from the Obama Admin as they are completely to blame for two border agents death. The objective for Fast and Furious in the first place was to try and show the American public that we should be disarmed but it back fired and they all got blood on their hands instead. We need to make alot of noise about this incident and Eric Holder needs to be made accountable for his actions. This country cannot have its top law dog handing out weapons to a drug cartel in order to advance his liberal agenda. Mr Holder, we wont go down quietly. Know that!
“The objective for Fast and Furious in the first place was to try and show the American public that we should be disarmed but it back fired and they all got blood on their hands instead.”
Loansvcr, the backfire wasnt that they got blood on their hands, they fully expected that to happen. They probably wanted it to happen. The more carnage the better for their political agenda. The backfire is that they got caught.
Consider just how insidiously evil that makes them. Elijah Cummings is no different by aiding and abetting them after the fact.
Prison is too good for this kind of scum.
You can always prove that something happens by making it happen, then pointing the finger at the evidence as proof.
they also did not expect the ‘blood on their hands’ to be a US Federal agent with the border patrol (Brian Terry) or a Special ICE Agent (Jamie Zapata)
Gun Control, now that’s a laugh. You take guns from law abiding responsible owners and the criminals will still have them. If they can’t buy legally criminals will still find a way to get guns. The Black Market comes to mind. I am not giving up my right to bear arms just because some incompetent bureaucratic idiots screwed up and got caught. Those responsible must be held accountable, and we the people must ensure that the govt does that. The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, all those wonderful documents our founding fathers drew up and signed belong to us too, not just the politicians. We all have a voice. Use it and tell these bureaucrats No they will not take our rights away!
You are dead wrong Jolly. You are just repeating the same old mantra that ‘If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have them.’
C’mon, gun ownership is outlawed in Mexico and look……uh…oops.
They are allowed to use small caliber rifles for hunting.
For an idea of just how effective gun control can be, I suggest you google for “prison guns” and “prison weapons”. One would think that gun control laws in prisons are pretty strict, but nonetheless ingenious men with lots of time on their hands and plenty of incentive will accomplish astonishing things…
Of course it is to cover the lame idiot in the white house. If the Afican Americans want more respect, they need to step up and get rid of these commie lovers they elect to every office!
My Daddy taught me that if your in a hole stop digging. Apparently this guy Cummings and his cohorts have not gotten that idea yet.
My understanding is that they INTENDED to use increased homicide rates (dead men, women, and children) as there primary means of tracking the movement of the arms.
If this is true then they are mass PREMEDITATED murderers. There is really no amount of spin that you could throw at it (again assuming my first sentence is actually true) that changes this simple conclusion.
You know every problem we have in America is caused by the people in Washington.
As for this gun runner, I know hillery has said in the past about the weapons going from America to mexico and this whole thing was to disarm Americans.
They will have a fight if they think they can disarm us, This is yet another reason we need a Revolution in America to remove all the dead wood in Washington and start over.
I am actually in favor of some very strong gun control measures…
We need to disarm most of the civilian government.
“Sean Slattery
I am actually in favor of some very strong gun control measures…

Sean ‘gets it’. Alas, it’s already too late.
BATFE is an ‘enforcement’ agency for the regime. The regime directs the agency AGAINST regime enemies and the agency supports the regimes political agenda ala ‘Gunwalker’.
BATFE, since the days of WACO, has militarized far beyond any domestic threat. The entire DOJ law enforcement community has absolutely embraced the militarization model. We have a domestic law enforcement ARMY with all the military accoutrements minus the mechanized and artillery components— which they draw from state armories when the need arises.
They enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution for their egregious actions against American citizens and abridge Constitutional rights without conscience or remorse on a daily basis— all in support of the political regime in D.C..
And now, BATFE has been called to service again and as a result, sovereign citizens, police and military personnel in Mexico are being murdered (not to mention our own federal officers) to further the Obama regime’s ‘under the radar’ gun control plans. Intentionally smuggling guns across an international border with the stated under oath intention to have them used in criminal activities resulting in civilian deaths with the intent to have those weapons ‘traced’ back to American gun dealers and to use the statistical data to support a political attack against American gun owners and the firearms industry is evil and SEDITIOUS activity.
The DOJ absolutely crushed the American militia movement after the Kansas City bombing by Tim McVeigh and promptly put McVeigh to death. Since that time period, there’s been a relentless ‘war’ on any and all political dissent that could effectively remove or challenge the established regime in D.C.. The threat of law enforcement facing an armed citizenry has been met with the creation and proliferation of SWAT teams across the nation into every level of law enforcement. The immunity bestowed on law enforcement is their dream come true and the nightmare envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
Any and ALL possibility of armed insurrection and the support for insurrection has been effectively checked by the militarization of law enforcement. The incremental implementation of the regimes anti-gun political agenda continues unabated and wholly supported with msm propaganda, anti-gun educational campaigns in public schools, legislative fiat and infomercials by the highly partisan Brady bunch and ‘bloody hands’ Democratic legislators.
This much is clear; the regime will murder its own citizens and anyone else without remorse, without regard to social standings, race or political affiliations. And, they will effectively resist all inquiry and adjudicate themselves innocent in courts of law.
The Tree Of Liberty may have shown its last bud for its roots have withered and its ground gone barren.
The Tree of Liberty is NOT withered and dead yet,it’s just needing a LOT of watering in the coming days.
Kansas City Bombing? I believe it was the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Yeah, I was 3/4 of a mile away….
Well if it comes to an armed revolution / insurrection, we better have our own US military on OUR Side. Generally, I don’t think they are ANY more fond of DC than the rest of us and They Too have sworn to uphold the Constitution. I bekleive that THEY will stand up to that promise. If this is the case, BATFE and all of the other Government Endorsed SWAT teams will lay down their weapons and run back home to their families. I beleive that the American Spirit is still VERY much alive. We just haven’t reached the “tipping point” yet… The way things are going however, it may be closer than we think….
BOTH OF YOU ARE DEAD ON. but remember in the 80′s when crime was falling like a rock, and the police were able to close old case files/. The question at that time that bothered me was why would the police that stated crime was down,completely retool their entire force from local to state levels. Did they realize something was on the way or did they create it. The answer is
to finish what I was saying the answer is yes. NAFTA CAME AROUND THE CORNER SO FAST WE ARE STILL REELING FROM IT. NOW THEY BEEFED UP THE POLICE FORCE AND WEAPONS IN PREPERATION FOR THE ONSLAUGHT OF ILLEGALS THE REST IS HISTORY. This whole game has been set up. “WE THE PEOPLE” are the fish in the barrel. so we need to orginize to stay ahead of these crooks, Use the web similar to their mob calls etc. This needs to be done on all levels that they are attacking. The left had years to think this stuff up and we paid for their professorships.So how does that make you feel. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, just use what they do.
Now that is some gun control (after good marksmanship and safe gun handling) that I can get behind. I think that even the USPS has SWAT teams these days. We need to disarm government agencies who are not directly involved in law enforcement and we need to strictly regulate para-military Law Enforcment…
As far as I know a federal police force is against the Constitution. We do have J.Edgar Hoover to thank for this. Where do the crimes begin and where do they end. TREASON, SEDITION, HIGH CRIME, RICA, ON, ON.
Worked for the P.O. after 6years military service in the Navy. Postal
police, inspectors, and swat.
I don’t understand this, there is nothing logical about outlawing guns. Outlawing things does not make them go away. Has it worked with drugs? So only criminals have guns, and this is a logical thing to support?

Observe how much MSM press coverage this “hearing” receives compared to Issa’s previously. This is merely an attempt to obstruct justice by injecting disinformation into the investigation. Sadly a common political ploy these days.
Left/libtard logic you’ll hear: The BATF is why we need to ban guns!
Cummings should be ashamed! If the African-Americans who blast each other will unlicensed firearms in Baltimore City were factored out of the equation, Baltimore would be one of the safest cities in the east instead of “Bodymore Murderland”. The politician’s solution is to go after the legal gun owners…after all, how hard is that?
House Dems do own the pigheadedness award, I’ll give them that.
Even after the Narrative turned out so horribly wrong, they still stuck their reputations and hopefully their careers to it.
Brave? Or simply too stupid?
Even after the Narrative turned out so horribly wrong…
No facts on the ground, no changes in circumstances will ever change a selected & preferred narrative for a Leftist.
Ever. On any topic. From here to Eternity.
The neural loop can never be broken or these individuals will crumble into a nasty mess of organic soup.
Thus explains Pelosi, Reid and all Leftoids on planet Earth.
The Committee on House Oversight and Government Reform will be having a hearing today on the “Gunwalker” scandal almost guaranteed to fill any observer with disgust.
I’m already thoroughly disgusted at the repeated & desperate attempts of congressional democrats to twist the truth to support different aspects of their lying agenda.
In the instant case, apparently, using the travesty of Gunwalker to further erode the second amendment.
BTW, did you know that guns placed in the hands of Chicago youth are assassinating rival gang members ? This is happening through the sheer presence of the guns alone and has absolutely nothing to do with the morons pulling the triggers.
I thought you’d like to know that.
cummings is a member of the criminal black caucus so what else would you expect from a commie criminal?if you removed the black and mexican criminals from america our crime rate would be the lowest in the industrialized world
This “Fast & Furious” debacle was intentionally designed in an attempt to “prove” guns are going to criminal elements and must be controlled (aka stopped.) They specifically told agents, who knew the program was insane, to “stand down” and let the guns go in a pathetic attempt to make us think there was a problem with gun sales here in the US. Face it, the criminal and terrorist elements will always find a way to get guns and would put the civilian population at risk if they are denied the right to have guns. Does anyone honestly think the police are capable of protecting us? The most they could do is investigate after the slaughter.
They want to take our guns away as they are a threat to the ruling elite, they certainly cannot have an armed citizenry who will have the ability to fight back should they decide to become tyrants. That was the intention of the Founding Fathers when they crafted the Second Amendment. It had nothing to do with the need for guns for hunting and sport shooting. It was to protect the citizens from a government out of control.
Hmmm.. if the ‘Oversight Committee’ and the Brady Campaign (haha.. have folks seen/heard this group? It’s the same pacifist group of pansies who’d watch a daylight assault on a woman occur without intervening for they’re scared of their own shadow.. disgusting) wants to go after ‘injustices’, why not the medical field?
There are FAR MORE daily medical malpractice/wrongful deaths than legal, registered gun owner incidents.
Perhaps the aforementioned group wants to close the medical field as well..
Cummings and his ilk are counterproductive, self-serving dips hits.
For those on the Right (not just GOPers), this is actually a political positive. We’ve seen repeatedly that gun control efforts play poorly with independents and strongly motivate the Republican base and gun owners in elections. With any luck, Cummings will give the NRA some great footage to use for campaign ads in 2012.
American voters might be rationally ignorant, but they are not dumb (at least, not for long). These kinds of ridiculous gun control hearings will just add to the argument that Operation Gunwalker was entirely about promoting gun control politically, with no regard for the lives it might cost in Mexico and the US.
The article is correct in one aspect, It is the american voter who is to blame in this. It is we who allowed (VOTED) the current regime into office(s)! WE must work to correct this in 2012
Voters have to have a vested interest in an election to vote. If you go back to the Constitution and see the forefathers took this into consideration. Senators were appointed by the states, not elected. In many states only land owners could vote. So welfare, no property tax to take you land, no death tax to keep you faimly down. on, on.
Watching the eunuchs circle the wagons is just about all the evidence I need to support the fact that Hussein, Holder and Hitlery pulled the trigger on this operation.
Blacks should be ashamed that they are so easily used but this is evidence of their own bondage to the spirit of legalism and slavery. That America chose to be led by an undocumented infant is not to our credit. How can that and all that has followed not be a dire warning to us from the Author of Liberty?
more idiocy from our pals the democrat people’s republik party.
This should come as no surprise to anyone – the entire scheme was created as a false flag incident to incite more strict gun control policies.
the infamous Sarah Brady conducted a meeting with Obama last month in which she stated that Obama and Company are drafting more stringent gun control mechanisms “under the radar” and will specifically be “targeting gun shop owners”
If Obama says that Holder didn’t order the operation, we must assume that he knows who did. Subpoena him.
The ATF directed gun dealers to sell 1,500 weapons to straw men over the vendors’ objections. The ATF then allowed these guns to cross the Mexican border where they were unable to track them. These guns were used by drug gangs to kill two Americans and 150 Mexicans. Obviously, this is a problem with American gun laws. We need gun control.
WRONG! ATF violated US gun laws at the direction of their parent organization, the Department of Justice, and with the full knowledge and approval of Departments of State and Homeland Security. Congressman Darryl Issa is trying to get to the bottom of this conspiracy and every gun owner in this country should get behind him or we will lose our right to keep and bear arms.
What we need is control of the anti-gun, anti-Constitution American left
A look back in history will show hundreds of examples of tyranical governments taking guns away from the citizenry,followed by mass-murder. Our America needs no foreign enemies, we have Obama, most in The Democratic Party, left-wing fruitcakes like The Brady-Bunch, hollywood elites, (even the elites who earn fortunes in acting roles that sport guns/self-defense ).If we fail to throw out the political-scum and liberal-spooks that are hell-bent on the destruction of America and all her founding-greatness, then we very well may need our own revolution sooner than later. We are rapidly losing our liberties, our Constitutional Rights, and a huge, unfair preportion of our money.
How many nations in Africa led by black men have been successful? Think about it.
This guy looks to be one of those black democrats that has gone to Washington DC and only managed to become overweight.
The Democrats need to be reminded once in a while that the numbers of white gun owners is far larger than they think.
You can bet that they will try to pass anti-gun legislation in time for the election to energize their base. I certainly hope they try given the past history of ever time they have gone toe to toe with the NRA. These Dems are sealing their fates, ensuring they won’t be reelected.
As for changing gun laws, since it is illegal to make a law that is retroactive, they have no legal standing to remove or restrict a gun that was already purchased legally. So, they can bite me.
As for Switzerland, I’d rather stand and fight to save my country than cut and run. It if takes another revolution to ensure the liberty of our nation, then that is what it is going to take. Some principals are worth fighting for.
from my cold dead hands
Just read the provisions of REX 84, signed into law by George W. Bush under the umbrella of Homeland Security. Then you’ll understand why our government has militarized our civilian policing agencies and what their ultimate agenda entails.
This dead on, but only one piece of the giant puzzle that has been woven to circumvent the Constitution. We have to push on Congress and publicize the criminal actions, inactions of the Public officials of this nation.
“High” in the legal parlance of the 18th century means “against the State”. A high crime is one which seeks the overthrow of the country, which gives aid or comfort to its enemies, or which injures the country to the profit of an individual or group. In democracies and similar societies it also includes crimes which attempt to alter the outcome of elections.
Malfeasance the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law; wrongdoing (used especially of an act in violation of a public trust).
Nonfeasance is to ignore and take no indicated action – neglect. Misfeasance is to take inappropriate action or give intentionally incorrect advice. Malfeasance is hostile, aggressive action taken to injure the client’s interests. IT IS TIME TO TELL CONGRESS TO DO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION.
Dems set to demonize patriotic, law-abiding gun owners instead of calling for the prosecution of all those responsible in our government for providing weapons to the barbaric drug cartels to murder innocents? It’s evident Dems believe it is ACCEPTABLE to provide weapons to savage drug cartels to murder innocents, but it is NOT acceptable for law-abiding citizens to have weapons to DEFEND against killers. This is the horrifying government that Americans now have?
