ATF Returns Bump Stock to Rightful Owner After Five-Year Legal Struggle

This is a small but concrete example that we still have at our disposal the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders and that we can still use the courts to our advantage, as frustratingly drawn out as that process can be. We won’t be able to do that anymore if apathy and cynicism turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy that cedes the power to appoint the federal judiciary to the Democrats, who will then be able to have the Bruen opinion reversed and any citizen disarmament edict they pass upheld. [More]

As long as we can still score wins by peaceable means you can’t legitimately say voting is useless. Don’t let a self-fulfilling prophecy make this the election that changes that.

A Forced Reset

NAGR wins lawsuit against ATF trigger ban … The ATF may appeal this ruling, but precedent and momentum are both on our side, and we fully anticipate the absolute end of the ATF’s unlawful, unconstitutional ban on forced reset triggers. [More]

They’ll appeal because they have unlimited tax plunder to do it with and dragging things out and making plaintiffs spend their hard-won funds is part of the game.

NAGR is doing a good job of late, especially at refuting an old image.

If Wishes Were Fishes

Next Vice President Wants To Abolish ATF! [Watch]

It’s nothing he didn’t tell us three years ago.

I’d hold off on the exclamation points and gushing over campaign rhetoric until he fleshes out what he wants to do with ATF’s functions, and how he intends to get from here to there with Congress.

Offloading it onto another agency could just make things worse.

Burden of Proof

…they have no database, they have no digital way, they have no searchable function, they just have someone that goes manually piece by piece by piece looking for a serial number amongst a billion two-page documents, front and back, and they found it in 30 minutes… [Watch]

Here’s the CNN piece.

Sorry, I don’t doubt there are violations, but I’m not buying this as proof. ATF didn’t have to go through billions of records. They knew the manufacturer and the serial number ID’d FFL it was sent to and the date, and since the business had closed and ATF had its records on site, a search with several people looking could very well have been done in that time. If it was still an active FFL, inspectors going to the shop would have taken a bit longer, but they’d have still gotten it done in short order.

We’re the Only One… What the Hell Are YOU Lookin’ At…?

Bodycam from Brunswick PD at Buzzard’s Roost in Hinckley, OH shows alleged drunk off-duty ATF/DEA/HSI agents illegally detain a man, reports show multiple charges on the agents, including abduction. [Watch]

I need to set aside an hour over the weekend to watch this.

Point/Counterpoints

These aren’t my words. These are theirs:

What am I saying, that bump stocks weren’t used?

Don’t kill the messenger, I’m just posting what ATF has said.

We’re the Only Ones Exonerated Enough

No Charges in Deadly ATF Arkansas Home Raid [More]

Did anyone seriously think there would be?

Those whose Constitutional mandate is to not infringe on it executed a citizen for exercising his right. Their pretext, that some of his sales allegedly went to “prohibited persons,” is a fraudulent excuse because there is no delegated power authorizing the whole concept.

There’s only one way to address that problem…

A Dream Come True

57 F. 4th 447, affirmed. [More]

Meaning:

Bump Stocks Now Legal Again As Supreme Court Strikes Down Gun Device Ban

Looks like ATF will have to surrender my bump stock back to me when I come to confiscate it from them.

UPDATE

Herschel points out a concern with “Alito’s “Machinegun Sammy’s” response.

I agree. Congress has no Constitutional authority to “act,” either.
