Polyphemus may have told the Fudds he would eat them last, but eat them he will if the ones they’re throwing under the bus fall.
The bottom line is “bump stocks,” which were “legal” at the time, could not have been the “illegally possessed prohibited firearms” referred to in the “Paddock” report. So what weapon/s are they referring to? [More]
Enquiring minds want to know…
“MAYBE what it will do is get some Member(s) of Congress to request GAO to do a forensic audit of the NFRTR to determine its accuracy and reliability,” another one of my “small cadre” advisors chimed in, pointing out the elephant in the room that “amnesty” proponents don’t much want to talk about. [More]
They have no authority to do it, they have no capability to do it, and on top of that, it’s a trap. Sounds like SOP for ATF.

A fine article, like a fine wine, can improve with age.
Then again, I’m clearly biased.
Dickey and Rosenberg started out as “mortal enemies,” but after making small talk about their kids during a chance conversation they developed “an incredible friendship,” as Rosenberg recounts. Years later, they were habitually ending their conversations by telling each other “I love you,” and “we really meant it,” Rosenberg says. Through the power of this human connection, Dickey ends up seeing reason and changing his mind. He comes to believe that the amendment bearing his name was a mistake. [More]

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is issuing this open letter to further assist the firearms industry and the public in understanding whether a “partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional” receiver of an AR-15/M-16 variant weapon has reached a stage of manufacture such that it “may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted” to a functional receiver, and is therefore classified as a “frame or receiver” or “firearm” in accordance with the final rule titled “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms (Final Rule 2021R-05F), which became effective August 24, 2022.

At least until they change the rules again.

CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE AND SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUE CT OVER BAN ON MODERN SPORTING ARMS [More]
I dunno– “in Common Use for Lawful Purposes Throughout the United States” seems to exclude everything that’s not, including what will be developed in the future.
The Supreme Court, in its infamous Miller decision, nonetheless recognized the function of the Militia, defined as “all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time,” was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. These citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The Militia did not assemble on the green bearing clubs and spears. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. A modern Militia would require citizens to keep and bear exactly what the gun-grabbing politicians are trying to take away from them, what they pejoratively denounce as “weapons of war.”
Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’
“But the real story here isn’t that I am seeking to change my name, but that a process that is supposed to protect and shield those in danger was undermined and sealed information was released to the right wing media within hours of my filing… [More]
The real story here is anyone who thinks the government has their privacy interests at heart is delusional.
Welcome to our world, lefty.

Despite polls that say otherwise, firearms instructor Brandi Joseph offers proof that women want guns to protect themselves against America’s escalating violence and are attending classes to hone their shooting skills. These are women of all races and political parties — especially Democrats . [More]
Well then those aren’t the polls that matter, are they?

Biden Puts Italy’s New PM Giorgi Meloni on the Same Level as Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping – Xi “makes the case straight up that democracies can’t be sustained in the 21st century. You just saw what’s happened in Italy in that election. You’re seeing what’s happening around the world.” [More]
Way to insult an ally and alienate its voters.
