Better security is needed at town hall meetings

Democrats need to take control of the town hall meetings. In view of the gun an Astroturfer left behind at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' town hall meeting, all attendees should be screened by a walk through metal detector. If the Democrats don't institute security procedures, an Astroturfer is going to hurt or kill someone. There have been plenty of warnings. 

Entrance should be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis and signs  not be allowed into the meeting. Security cameras should be conspicuously positioned around the event. Town hall meetings could also be remotely broadcast to local auditoriums.

An area for demonstrators should be set up at least 100 feet away from the main event.

People who causes an  alert when entering the facility should be manually checked with a security wand.

Armed perimeter police officers should be on hand in case the crowd becomes unruly. They should have the proper control equipment such as Tazers and vehicles needed to arrest and haul Astroturfers away.

In addition to the increased security, meeting ground rules will be passed out to attendees, and the moderator will state the rules at the beginning of the meeting.

If crowd members become disruptive or rude, they should be asked to leave or be forcibly removed. After a few 'don't taze me bros,' the Astroturfers, ditto heads and wing nuts will get the idea.

Four dirtballs about to lose their Second Amendment rights

One Defendant Claims to be Local Operative for a Mexican Drug Cartel. An investigation into guns being trafficked from Arizona to California has led to the arrest of four individuals, one of whom sold several machine guns to a undercover operative and claimed to be tied to a Mexican drug cartel.

The four defendants were arrested early this morning by special agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and investigators with the Los Angeles Police Department.

During the course of the 10-month investigation, authorities purchased or seized 50 firearms, including 17 guns that were discovered during the execution of search warrants this morning.

During the investigation, an undercover operative made a series of gun purchases from three of the defendants. The purchases included guns similar to AK-47s, Uzis and AR-15s, some of which were fully automatic weapons.

Those arrested today are:

Edgardo Prado Casteneda, aka "Primo," 26, of Azusa, who claimed to be a
Southern California operative of the La Familia drug cartel based in Michoacan,
Mexico

Vicente Garcia Jr., aka "Chevy," 38, of Azusa

Steven Scott Blanks, 47, of Norco; and

Victor Velasquez, aka "Fingers," 34, of El Monte, who is accused of delivering a
quarter-pound of methamphetamine that was purchased by the undercover
operative.

The four defendants are scheduled to make their initial appearances this afternoon in United States District Court in Los Angeles.
