ummm I don’t think the NRA initiated the congressional investigations. Others have been on this for a while. But its nice to see the NRA adding their muscle.>/i>

You are correct. CBS News, suprisingly are the ones that broke this case. And Sen Grassley, I believe is the one exposing it to the light of day in the Senate.

I will say, as a Life Member of the NRA for nearly 30 years, that this is one major problem I have with them. They seem to have become "stick your wet finger in the air, then jump on the bandwagon" types. I really wish they'd be more out front with these types of things, than Johnny come Latelies.

“CBS News, suprisingly are the ones that broke this”

Depends on what you mean by “broke”. CBS was the first to focus much attention on it in the mainstream media, but most of the credit should go to David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh.

Not even close. FreedomForce corrected you above my post but it bears repeating NOT TO PICK ON YOU, but just in case any of our FRiends missed it:

THE STORY WAS BROKEN BY David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh.

See-BS was just the first big LSM organization to pick it up.

Codrea is at http://waronguns.blogspot.com/ and Vanderboegh is at http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/

Vanderboegh has a novel in the works (some chapters posted on his blog) that is on my “buy several copies” list.
