The strawman speaks

If you will recall, the Second Amendment Foundation called for an investigation of the Boston Globe's Steve Bailey. Mr. Bailey bragged on a local radio station about violating Federal gun laws. I wondered in this space if the BATFE would indeed investigate one of the anointed who dwells upon Mt. Olympus.

Well... Apparently they would and are! And now, Mr. Bailey is squealing like a stuck pig. Predictably, he does not address the substance of the SAF's complaint; that he engaged in an illegal straw purchase. Instead, he attacks the SAF's Alan Gottlieb. He also attacks the NRA, even though the NRA and the SAF are independent organizations. It would seem that Mr. Bailey suffers from poor marksmanship as well as an inability to obey existing gun laws. We'll see where this leads.

(And on a side note: Mayor Bloomberg in NYC should watch this case too. Mr. Bailey isn't the only one who's engaged in illegal straw purchases of late!)
