More on "Project Gunwalker"

Posted by David Hardy · 7 June 2011 09:38 AM

Gunwalker guns are linked to a shootdown of a Mexican government helicopter.

Issa's House Oversight Committee has interviewed witnesses and is preparing more subpoenas. No word yet on what he's going to do to enforce the earlier ones.

The hearings are set to begin June 13. We can only hope they do serious work. I've seen a lot of hearings where the legislators and staffs are coming at an issue cold, and have many things on their plate, whereas the agency people have inside knowledge, and have worked on nothing but the issue for weeks. And many where the legislators didn't know how to cross-examine a person, so they gave long speeches with a question mark at the end, or failed to react and follow up on answers.

The ATF Gunwalker scandal is kind of like a "Sons of Anarchy" extended episode.

I sort of wonder though what type of gun it was that forced down the helicopter? Basically they are letting walk semi-auto rifles and pistols though it could be they type of helicopter. as The cat in Through the looking glass (I think) said Curiouser and Curiouser.

Rich, a better question is what kind of chopper. Unless we're talking something armored, it's eminently possible for semi auto rifles to bring down a helo. That's especially true when they let .50 Barretts through.
