Notes from the Resistance
After all, the first FOIA request was initially balked at by questioning my qualifications as a journalist, then claiming no records could be found, then saying they withdrew that, and finally declaring they shouldn’t have responded at all because Biden’s privacy interests made the requested documents none of the public’s business. Now they’re saying they can’t answer the second FOIA request because of “ongoing litigation.” [More]
ATF has more excuses than Joliet Jake.
How the new disarmament edicts will play with Brazil’s established “gun culture” will be instructive. Defiant Bolsonaro backers should not be surprised to find themselves smeared as extremists and conflated with criminal insurrectionists by highly-placed government officials and the media, just like here in the U.S. [More]
The parallels between there and here are numerous and disturbing. As are the tactics and goals of totalitarians demanding a monopoly of violence.
ATF Intimidating Another Home-Based Gun Dealer to Surrender FFL [More]
Because zero tolerance!
I wonder if Special Agent Loving and DIO Carlson dreamed of growing up to become fascist punks when they were kids…
Issue 1 supporters can’t count on getting a fair shake in the media, which increasingly portrays them as “a basket of deplorables” (and that’s being nice). As usual, it’s up to them to educate themselves and spread the word. [More]
If you’re an Ohio gun voter, the only way this will pass is if you get involved and help make it pass.
But forget mere errors. There’s real corruption and law-breaking… [More]
It’s like they’re too arrogant and stupid to realize there are no houses more fragile than glass ones.
What gun laws does he consider unconstitutional? What gun laws does he consider constitutional? [More]
Don’t just tell us you believe in the Second Amendment. Tell us how you believe in it and what you’re going to do about it. Be specific. Otherwise, all that fist-pounding is just noisemaking.
But no matter, because the messaging that will be the constant is that the problem is with guns (combined with systemic racism) and the solution is more prohibitions. [More]
Creating places for violence is the one thing these frauds are good at.
Ironically, the main impediment to any of this happening is what the Founders knew to be “necessary to the security of a free State,” an armed citizenry capable of organizing and repelling “enemies foreign and domestic,” the very people these myopic billionaires in their arrogance and hubris are helping to finance AstroTurf citizen disarmament edicts against. [More]
Cake isn’t what the collectivist mob intends to eat.
“What about injuries in Clay Target shooting? None. Since the High School Clay Target League’s inception in 2008, there have been no recorded injuries to athletes, coaches, or spectators. Ever.” [More]
It’s demonstrably the safest high school sport in the country. So leave it to the prohibitionists to stoke hoplophobia, with safety being the last thing on their minds.
The lawsuit follows. Readers are encouraged to set aside the time to go through it completely to understand the totality of events that happened and are still happening to a citizen attempting to comply with police orders, and to know if it can happen to Jason Kloepfer it can happen to any of us. [More]
That this story hasn’t been headline national news tells us much.
They’re not going to get a gun lock from a black-market dealer, are they? [More]
Besides, it’s not like the motivation is really about “gun safety”…
Because the DOJ has now made charges public, and because Biden’s attorney has acknowledged those charges, attorney Stephen Stamboulieh filed a new FOIA request Tuesday afternoon. [More]
The Biden administration’s enforcers want to gloss this over and are counting on the “real reporters” to let them. My sense is there’s more here to uncover and I want to keep digging and find out what they don’t want us to know.
Who wants to spend years and substantial effort to force a correction and not even be able to recover costs? Who has those kinds of resources? [More]
Here’s another huge advantage that rights deniers with unlimited state resources have over gun owners of limited means.
A 39-year-old South Florida man who is an ardent anti-gunner was sentenced last week to 15 months in federal prison and one year of probation for threatening U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado, in a series of social media posts that targeted the Congresswoman for her strong Second Amendment support. [More]
It’s almost like frustrated wannabe totalitarians aren’t rational or something…
That’s a version of the old and unfounded-in-reality “blood in the streets/Dodge City over fender benders” argument the gun prohibitionists used when railing against licensed concealed carry. And note his concern was not for “public safety” but for officer safety. [More]
Back the Blue when they don’t back you…?
“Curren Price is the latest member of the Los Angeles City Council to be arrested in recent years.” … “I am a firm believer in the control of guns, the restraint of guns, and the federal government’s proposal for the regulation of guns,” Curren told Our Weekly in 2013 in a report on the “Gun Culture on South L.A.” [More]
Projection much?
With this being SOP for the GOP, it’s no wonder lesser luminaries like Fitzpatrick and Kean feel like they can do anything they want, and “lesser of two evils” gun voters won’t have a choice but to keep rewarding them with power. [More]
If the turncoats will betray gun owners on something as clear-cut as this, what won’t they betray them on?
Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]
They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.
Our rights are now dependent on ignorant neuroses ginned up by professional fear mongers…? [More]
Like the song goes, “Feelings, nothing more than feelings…”
That said, it’s also entirely appropriate to show how the so-called “justice system” treats the president’s son and a highly connected Democrat apparatchik differently than it does people of modest means and people of color FOR THE SAME CHARGE. [More]
It’s a big club Hunter Biden and Nikki Fried belong to, and unconnected black people ain’t in it.
In other words, they’ll be able to enact any damn ban they want to, up to and including a total prohibition on “civilians” owning guns… [More]
But “no one’s talking about taking your guns,” right?
And that’s what these stupid, sheltered white women have been swindled into believing they want – an executive order that “includes a total ban on all guns and a comprehensive, mandatory buyback program.” You don’t have to read any more of the proposal after that—you got the crux of it. [More]
Thanks to impatient radicals coming right out and saying it, no one can any longer deny that “common sense gun safety” is code for “Ban and confiscate all guns.” Well, they can, but they’ll demonstrably be lying.
“Under the proposal, a Medicaid beneficiary who has been involved in or injured by community violence and has received a health care referral would be eligible,” the report recounts, noting “California, Connecticut and Illinois have been granted similar approval to use Medicaid for violence prevention programs.” [More]
That more citizens don’t recognize what utter clownish frauds anti-gun Democrats are is one more indicator of this being the Age of Madness.
Fetterman’s own public statements show his aide understands his position well. [More]
The end game is a monopoly of violence. Anyone who tries to tell you differently is a useful idiot, a damned liar, or both.
Because what was in common use in the past is not what is in common use today, nor what will be in common use tomorrow. At least by the military and by law enforcement. [More]
Withhold technological developments from We the People based on “common use” and at what point in the future does planned obsolescence kick in? Also, as an aside, I don’t know why the editors replaced my photo with one that’s irrelevant to the topic and the caption I wrote.
Len Savage sent ATF parts of an unassembled firearm, ATF returned a completed gun. [More]
Is it paranoia if they’re really out to get you?
This is a belief in authoritarian supremacy and the magic of the badge of the “Only Ones,” like the Pontifical Swiss Guard and Gendarmerie Corps. [More]
Armed guards with state-of-the-art weaponry for them and martyrdom for the rest of us…
And helping them do that this time out were the usual suspects from the Vichycon wing of the GOP, the useful idiot/self-serving swamp creatures who continually prove themselves adept at turning coats and stabbing backs. [More]
Nothing like seeing a “staunch supporter of the Second Amendment” carry the Democrats’ water for them…
NBC Dallas/Fort Worth made sure to identify him as “a gun owner” in its report. Now This News calls him “a Second Amendment supporter.” And not to be left behind, in between emoting for the camera, CNN’s Poppy Harlow acknowledged Spainhouer’s (disingenuous) “pro-Second Amendment” bona fides as he rattled off a laundry list of infringements straight off the Giffords/Everytown/Brady wish list … [More]
What’s being a Democrat activist stumping on national TV for the party’s citizen disarmament agenda got to do with his credibility as a “Second Amendment supporter”?
