We’ve heard so many excuses this past week for the scandals of the Obama administration, it’s hard to keep track of them all. This one from David Axelrod might take the cake. He said that the government is just so…
Check out what appears on the DEFCAD/Liberator site. It’s the site that had the download for those 3-D printable guns. “Until further notice, the United States government claims control of the information.” Lovely. Update: Linked by Big Pulpit – thanks!…
