Notes from the Resistance
ATF Director: Adamiak’s sentence “excessive” [More]
As previously noted, he’s missing the point.
But what I want to focus on is this business of ATF Firearm Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Bodell spreading falsehoods under oath to affect trial outcomes, and how is that anything but prejudicial perjury? Everybody realizes ATF has been getting away with that for years right?
But don’t take my word for it:
What’s in the Trump administration’s ‘tsunami’ of gun deregulation [More]
Oh, no! Infringing on infringements! Head for higher ground!
Because we all know how ATF rules affect predator decision-making.

She probably also believes repeating talking points can’t ultimately be done a lot cheaper by AI.

“Cekada promised neither he nor the ATF will be ‘offended by the outcome of the courts,’ because he wants to make sure that Adamiak was ‘appropriately sentenced’,” Williams recounted. That’s mighty big of him. However, Second Amendment advocates should be offended by such a presumptuous response. [More]
Focusing on the punishment being too harsh ignores the intolerable injustice of there being any punishment at all.
TELL PRESIDENT TRUMP: PARDON TATE ADAMIAK! [More]
You can call or do what I do to ask others to join in.
And point of order, I think an acknowledgment link for the work most responsible for bringing this to our attention would have been appropriate.
Cekada promised neither he nor the ATF will be “offended by the outcome of the courts,” because he wants to make sure that Adamiak was “appropriately sentenced.” [More]
That’s mighty big of him. Told ya the guy was our BFF!

I’d be more impressed if he’d been able to quote it (Go to 58:23).

House Hearing: Democrat Summer Lee Suggests ATF ‘Captured’ by Gun Industry [More]
With all the fawning going on, I’d say she’s got that backwards. It takes idiots to elect an idiot.
I hear the phrase “One swallow does not a summer make” and wonder how many do…

THIRTEEN CHARGED AS FEDS CRACK INTERNATIONAL GUN SMUGGLING RING EXPLOITING THE U.S. AND CANADA BORDER… Straw-Purchased Firearms Sourced from New Hampshire Gun Dealers Were Recovered at Canadian Crime Scenes [More]
This reminds me of something. But what…?
I wonder how many CIs they had embedded in the Akwesasne ring, and if guns could have been intercepted before “walking” across the border– or it being Canada, would it be “gunsledding”?

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Director Robert Cekada testified on firearms policy and Second Amendment protections before the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement. [Watch]
And Rep. Eli Crane asked him about Patrick “Tate” Adamiak.
The Trump Administration Is a Powerful but Unreliable Ally of Second Amendment Advocates – Even as the Justice Department files lawsuits aimed at vindicating gun rights, it undermines them in other cases. [More]
I’d use a different word than “unreliable”…
I wonder what it would take to fix that…

Tate Adamiak’s letter to the new ATF director – Adamiak explains his case better than anyone else could. [More]
Should work.
After all, he’s one of us.
Electronic record-keeping would become the default under another proposed rule, which would allow Form 4473s and Acquisition and Disposition Records to be generated, stored, and maintained electronically. Not only would this make record-keeping more convenient for dealers, but it would also improve firearm tracing for law enforcement since digital records are faster and easier to search than paper files. [More]
What could go wrong? Especially if administrations change…?
I’m wondering why this is listed under “Big Wins for Gun Owners”…
There I go blackpilling again.
Look, I get that there is only so much they can do because “law,” and think I understand incrementalism as well as the next guy, but the way I see “gun influencers” gushing over this and over Cekada makes some apologists for and abettors in infringements.
There are ways to encourage moves to roll back the oppression that don’t require gun owners to end up with sore knees and from a lot of what I’ve seen, Anon has a point.
[More]
I’ve been wondering when they were finally going to get around to it.
Let the outrage and lawsuits begin!
And don’t let the revised form distract from the real issue at hand.
