Beats the Alternative

Unsuppressed: Straight Shooting with Chris Chiafullo and ATF Director Robert Cekada [Watch]

Longtime readers know I view services like FFLGuard essential for dealers who want to keep trouble from happening in the first place and who don’t want to have to go for help when things blow up on them.

I’m surprised this exclusive video hasn’t gotten more widespread publicity within the 2A community. Please help change that, and while you’re at it, bookmark the channel to watch more.

We know since this was made several days back a key player discussed is moving on. And yeah, unless and until what we all want happens, this is as good as we’re gonna get, which is a hell of a lot better than anything we’ve had so far.

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

ATF Director Robert Cekada said Leider tendered his resignation, and he has accepted it. Mr. Leider will return to the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University as an Assistant Professor of Law. No other reasons were given for the resignation. [More]

Disembarking before the typhoon hits…?

Blast from the Past

I’d be happy to share with her all the stuff we couldn’t get the media to notice, the IG to pursue, and the Republicans to act on, including unpublished source materials.

‘Guidance’ is Not the Same as ‘Law’

While this is certainly a positive development, it does not seem that this policy will benefit Oregonians. [More]

Not just Oregon.

Mr. Wolf isn’t opening any champagne. (NSFW!)

Just because it’s not being enforced doesn’t negate the “law.” Change administrations and people acting like it does may find themselves in quite the mess.

There Is No New Thing Under the Sun

A New Trump Rule Could Transform Gun Sales. The President’s Son Is Poised to Profit. It’s “probably the most dangerous action taken by the US government to increase gun violence,” says one gun control veteran. [More]

And we all remember how dangerous that was!

Where does ATF get the statutory authority from to limit proliferation of forced reset triggers?… Where does ATF derive statutory authority to enforce its “Once a machine gun always a machine gun” rule? [More]

We know ATF has no such authority. But the system that promises “Clear answers. Official sources” resists fessing up.

Correlation ≠ Causation

ATF helps drive crime down. New national data shows gun crime is going down. Reports of gun related incidents dropped 12% last year, and ATF’s tools for tracing and analyzing crime guns played a major part in that progress. [More]

Flesh that out for us. How does analyzing after the fact have a measurable impact on preventing “gun-related incidents”?

Put on Notice

No worries.

Only the new, improved BAT-FU has illegal information about your guns.

I don’t suppose anyone’s going to jail over this…?

The New, Improved BAT-FU!

At some point “pro-gun” influencers are either going to have to admit the obvious or be seen for blowing smoke out their…

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

She argues that the federal government’s restrictions through the National Firearms Act are unconstitutional and that suppressors and short‑barreled rifles are both protected arms under the Second Amendment. [More]

Only a moron or a liar would disagree.

Of course, it can happen again to someone else. And the probability of that happening again – and again – will increase depending on who in Washington is running the show. [More]

You’ve no doubt already heard the news– this was posted after I’d left and I’m just now catching up on links to share.

ATF Statement in Rare Breed Trigger Litigation Raises Questions on Legal Authority

“Please show me anywhere in the U.S.C. or C.F.R. that rate of fire is regulated in any way? Only method of fire is regulated. If it fires more than once per function of the trigger it’s highly regulated. If not, there is NO regulation.” [More]

Just because they act like they have the power to do something doesn’t mean they actually do.

And Yet Once Again Unto the Breach

Update to this.

“Investigation targets”…?

While we’re told it’s “a standalone system,” that last bit makes me wonder if I was far off on my speculation on terror watchlists, and specifically that finding they’re on one may be the tip-off that they’ve been made and to get out of Dodge…
