Blowout preventer may reveal the 'smoking gun' behind Gulf oil spill

In every murder investigation the weapon behind the crime is considered a vital piece of evidence. The knife or gun is considered a key link between the accused, the victim, and the crime. While the Gulf oil spill disaster has no 'smoking gun, investigators have now got their hands on the closest thing to it. Yesterday BP successfully removed the old blowout preventer from the Macondo behind the oil spill. The preventer will now be raised to surface and intensely scrutinized by the investigative team appointed by President Obama. Blowout preventers are the key...

At least three of the wells served by the offshore production platform that caught fire in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday, were exempted from environmental review, according to a new analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity.Government records show that federal regulators approved the offshore wells in 1999 and 2000 with the same type of environmental waiver used to approve BP’s disastrous Deepwater Horizon project. In response to the BP spill, these waivers were recently banned for deepwater drilling but not for shallow wells like those connected with Mariner Energy’s...

F'n Feds!!

Mean Redneck — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:59:43 GMT

This is messed up. Fed wont keep the illegal mexicans out by doing their damn jobs and secure the borders, but they'll damn sure fuck and man that sell a gun to a mexican who has a Texas DL. If the SOB has a Texas DL, how can you tell if he's an illegal??

In a trial before Federal Judge Sam Sparks, government lawyers conceded Texas resident Paul Copeland did not know his buyer was an illegal alien, but the jury WAS TOLD they should convict him anyway because he �had reasonable cause to believe� he was selling to an illegal alien because the two men and a boy who were present at his table at the time of the sale: 1) were Hispanic, 2) spoke Spanish, and 3) wore cowboy clothing. And the jury did as asked. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Freel acted as lead prosecutor in the case.
The firearm transaction at issue occurred on January 16, 2010, at a gunshow at the North Austin Events Center, at 10601 N. Lamar Blvd., in Austin, Texas. Undercover ATF agents followed Mr. Huerta, his son, and another Hispanic male, Hipolito Aviles, around the �Texas Gunshow� that day, and claimed to observe Huerta�s transaction. Austin P.D. used Copeland�s case as the reason to close down the gunshow, leading to a protest by Austin residents in front of APD headquarters on January 25.
Mr. Copeland is a 56 year old Cedar Creek resident and Vietnam veteran who liked to buy, sell, and trade firearms as a hobby. On January 16, however, he had the misfortune to sell a handgun to Leonel Huerta Sr., who spoke both English and Spanish. Huerta Sr. negotiated his purchase from Copeland in English, showing Copeland his Texas Driver�s License. At Copeland�s trial Huerta admitted on the witness stand, that he is in the country illegally, (Huerta Sr. had previously admitted this fact to Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) Special Agent Leo Buentello). ATF Agent Shawn Kang claimed he saw Huerta later hand off the gun to Aviles. Despite these admissions, Huerta Sr. was never arrested, charged, or deported. Instead, his presence at the gunshow was used to entrap an American citizen into an unwitting violation of a federal gun control law. Huerta Sr., who is a resident of the City of Austin, appeared as a witness at the trial, admitted he was in the country illegally before federal prosecutors and a federal judge, yet he was allowed to leave the courtroom under his own power. To date Huerta Sr. has not been prosecuted for his purchase, possession, or disposition of the handgun he bought from Copeland, while Copeland is now a convicted felon.
�Instead of busting the illegal alien for buying, they bust the citizen for selling,� commented Paul Velte, attorney and founder of Peaceable Texans for Firearms Rights, a gun-owners rights advocacy group from Austin. Velte asked, �who was in a better position to know the buyer�s immigration status, the buyer or the seller?� He also said, �What happened to Paul Copeland should enrage all Americans. The Federal Government is using illegal aliens to entrap citizens lawfully exercising their right to sell firearms. The illegal alien walks free, but the citizen gets convicted. The same government charged with controlling immigration is the one using illegal immigrants to attack its own citizens. Does this make any sense? It makes no sense unless the purpose is to discourage attendance at gunshows and frighten citizens from selling their firearms to other citizens.�
Velte pointed out that �There is no way for a citizen to know who is here legally or not. In fact, under Austin�s �sanctuary city� policy, not even the police officer at the door of the gunshow was allowed to ask a person�s immigration status, yet the average Texan inside the show is expected to assume that a person standing before them with a Texas driver�s license is in the country illegally just because they look Mexican and speak Spanish.�
Velte noted that the federal government�s lawsuit against Arizona was based on that very type of conduct: Concluding someone could be here illegally based on their looks or their language. Velte said gun owners in his group are outraged, and they want to know:
� Why is the illegal alien who purchased the gun, Leonel Huerta Sr., still living in Austin?
� Why does he still have a Texas Driver�s license?
� Why is ATF using illegal aliens to set up and convict American citizens?
� What has he been promised for his cooperation?
� Why has he not been prosecuted? He committed three distinct crimes: he purchased a firearm knowing he was an illegal alien, he possessed the firearm, and he transferred the handgun to another illegal alien (Hippolito Aviles, who was convicted and given time served on June 30, 2010).
� Why has Huerta Sr. not been deported?

Their explanation of legislation they'd like to see (their hopes, not their successes) occupies 3 1/2 pages, pp. 10-14.

Their explanation of where they were defeated recently (guns in parks, guns on Amtrack, Tiahrt Amendment, DC statehood defeated over an amendment cutting back DC gun laws, State legislation including Firearm Freedom Acts ("Regrettably, many state legislatures are running amok") and expanded "shall issue" CCW permits, runs seven pages.
