Buckeye Firearms Association has announced that it has joined the rapidly growing coalition of groups that are officially on record opposing the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor as a justice to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"It is critical to the future of our country that we have justices who respect and uphold our Constitution," said Jim Irvine, Chairman of Buckeye Firearms Association. "Judge Sotomayor has proven that she does not respect the Second Amendment. Our country cannot afford to find out what other civil rights she aims to repeal."

The U.S. Supreme Court is widely expected to hear arguments on the incorporation of the Second Amendment next session. Judge Sotomayor is on record ruling that the amendment does not apply to the states. "Obviously she has a bias," said Irvine. "She has not agreed to recuse herself from gun cases, which would be the only proper action under the circumstances."

Big lies die slowly. After a claim by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that 90% of Mexican drug dealers' military weapons (machine guns, hand grenades and missiles) come from American gun stores was exposed as a lie several months ago, it's back — this time with the imprimatur of the Government Accountability Office.

A June 21 CBS "60 Minutes" report by Anderson Cooper was clearly coordinated to coincide with release of the GAO report and a similar one by "activist" Josh Sugarmann.

You are likely to soon hear and read that the GAO report commissioned by Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., confirms what Mexico's attorney general, Eduardo Medina-Mora, told Cooper: "Two thousand two hundred grenades, missile and rocket launchers!"

Cue Cooper as a video of machine guns, hand grenades and other weaponry fill the screen: "It turns out 90% of them are purchased in the U.S."

That's not all. You will hear from Sugarmann that Mexican drug dealers are buying FN Herstal Five-seven pistols from licensed U.S. gun merchants because those pistols fire bullets that penetrate protective body armor.

What you are unlikely to hear and read is that all such military weapons are illegal in the U.S., that Mexican criminals are supplied through an international black market and that this black market prominently features weapons the U.S. sold to the Mexican military and that are resold to drug cartels by corrupt Mexican officials.
