Arizona To Investigate Fast And Furious

Arizona lawmakers are planning to launch their own investigation into Fast and Furious. That means the Holder DOJ coverup and silence may not work out so well. State charges can stick as well as federal ones. We can only hope that Arizona is not pressured into folding in the face of federal pressure?

This incident coincidentally stretched into the next day of SHOT Show. Proving once again, that the “leadership” controlling the state of California, is out of touch with reality.
