| This week in Guns & Patriots...
Neil W. McCabe, Editor Dear Guns & Patriots readers, On the overnight of the December 14 into December 15, there was a firefight along the Arizona borderlands with Mexico. In that firefight, Border Agent Brian A. Terry, who first responded with a beanbag gun in accordance with his escalation of force instructions, was cut down by an AK-47 sold to a straw purchaser with the full blessing from agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. We did not know then that Terry's death would end the Holder-led program called Operation Fast and Furious, but it did. One year later we still don't have all the answers, but I look back to one year ago this week in my article: "One year ago, Holder's Operation Fast and Furious Came Undone." This week's video is a tribute to Brian A. Terry. We continue to receive positive feedback about the GunCount, our gun inventory program. The free version handles up to 10 guns, and the GunCountPlus version for just $39.99 is unlimited. You can download it here. Either way, all users will always receive each and every improvement, such as this week's upgrade of the shotgun or shotgun ammo functions. Please check out our sponsor this week: Stansberry Research. "Wal-tirement" is Here! In a move that is shaking the very foundations of conventional retirement wisdom, the undisputed "King of Retail" is offering a program that, for many retirees, could actually replace Social Security, 401(k)s, IRAs, pension plans, and the like.
