Those Who Remember the Past…

WarOnGuns Correspondent Jess asks via email:

David, Is that something that ATF actually ordered? If I was Leatherman, I’d have sent ’em a sample alright, but with a small change. At either end of the line “Always Think Forfeiture”, I would have also engraved a hammer and sickle!

They tried but the order was canceled after Congressman Bill Sali, (R-Idaho), raised objections.

But big John Kerry supporter TimLeatherman would have loved to fill the order.

“I told her we prefer ‘gun enthusiast,’” Nagel said. “She said she prefers ‘gun nuts,’ and she works for the ATF?”

Scott found nothing in the shop’s books other than a few minor clerical errors. There were no missing firearms or other significant problems.

“She said she was going to put us in for revocation, and that it may change as it goes up the chain, but that was her recommendation,” Nagel said. [More]

She sounds like a hook-baiter.

Tyranny enforcers haven’t learned a thing since King George “sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people.” I wonder if Republicans don’t blow it in November if House Oversight will subpoena her.

Dance, Puppets, Dance!

The U.S. gun industry has effectively “captured” the law enforcement agency charged with regulating it, according to a new report from the Giffords Law Center that recommends a number of changes to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. [More]

Now that I know NSSF is holding them hostage maybe they can order them to cough up that information on Hunter Biden they’ve been holding on to…

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Minor’ Is

Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018.  [More]

Purchasing two handguns, actually, if anyone in authority is interested in, you know, investigating. And for each instance:

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, ushered into law by then-Sen. Joe Biden, at the time chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made Form 4473 a key part of background checks for gun purchases mandated by the law.

Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For being a user of unlawful drugs in possession of a firearm, the punishment is up to five years.

I’ll have to ask Stephen Stamboulieh if Hunter pleads out what that will do to my ATF complaint.

Cause and Effect

Steven Dettelbach, the newly sworn-in director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said there is no overarching answer to solving the nation’s gun violence, even as guns have become the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. [More]

All by their own selves?

But what about those numbers?

This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 1-14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15-19, or even ages 15-24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 1-19 or 1-24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies.

Gee, it’s almost like the media are the enemy or something…

VIDEO: ATF conducts surprise firearm inspection at man’s home without search warrant [More]

Never talk to the police. All that friendly and reasonable posturing is just that.

At most, he could have said something like “Give me your card and I will have my lawyer call you.”

Although I do admit, if I had ATF and Delaware State Police together in one handy, recordable location, I’d have been willing to extend the conversation to questions about Hunter Biden’s gun.

Looks Like He’s Going to Get the Chance to Raise His Hand and Lie


I understand the vote will be this afternoon and will update this accordingly.

UPDATE

  • It’s happening as I type this on CSPAN 2.
  • Nomination confirmed: “ON THIS VOTE THE YEAS ARE 48, THE NAYS ARE 64 [sic] AND THE NOMINATION IS CONFIRMED. UNDER THE PREVIOUS ORDER, THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER IS CONSIDERED MADE AND LAID UPON THE TABLE AND THE PRESIDENT WILL BE IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED OF THE SENATE’S ACTION. THE CLERK WILL REPORT THE MOTION TO INVOKE CLOTURE.”

We’re the Only Ones Controlling Enough

I’m a longtime NRA member and I say we need gun control [More]

Funny, they tell us “Dave Ziegler, a retired law enforcement officer,” but you have to look elsewhere to find out that means with ATF, and that he’s also a longtime statist apparatchik.

It looks like you have to register with the site to read more, but seeing as how we’re dealing with an “Only One” who wants to disarm his countrymen, I can guess what he’s going to say.

And it’s further illustration that if owning guns was all it took to be “one of us,” we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.

Virtually From the Horse’s Mouth

ATF Virtual Training for FFLs on ATF Final Rule 2021R-05F – Definition of “Frame and Receiver” and Identification of Firearms [More]

For those of you who need to know where the traps are to keep from having your livelihoods destroyed, the split sessions will be presented 10 a.m. – Noon ET / 2 – 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday or Thursday…

And no, I don’t know which section of the Constitution authorizes them to have any say in any of this. Neither do they. The point is they know they can impose it with impunity.

The Naked Gun

Packin’ heat: Nude Hunter Biden cavorts with hooker, illegal gun in latest mess for president [More]

Note the “commonsense gun safety” finger on the trigger.

I’m checking to see what effect, if any, this could have on my lawsuit against ATF.

The pictures in the article should be sent via Twitter to every Democrat out there demanding new gun laws, and especially to Joe Biden, with a counter-demand.

I’ve been trying to find more out since first finding out about it upon waking, and may have plenty more to say on this– I’m checking right now on some stuff I don’t see anyone else talking about.

Speaking of Disenfranchising Millions

Dem Senator Pushes For ATF To Be ‘Beyond The Influence And Grip Of The Gun Lobby’ [Watch]

That would be every one of us who seeks peaceable redress through organizing.

So millions of gun owners won’t have a voice? No more campaigns to petition lawmakers about abuses? And who needs Rules comments?

Think through what this self-serving serial lying maniac is proposing.

And as one NRA member observed…

Developing a Workaround

After months of preparation, we are ready to go public with our explosive report on the ATF’s nefarious gun registry. After pouring over hundreds of pages of secret documents that we were able to secure through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we have found undeniable proof that the ATF’s registry – which they claim is only used to trace firearms used in crimes – is indeed a centralized and searchable registry of gun owners in total violation of the law. [More]

Curious, how the Democrats who want to impose new laws will break laws to do it.

Liars Lie

The report repeats bogus “ghost gun” claims, which have already been debunked by dozens of senior law enforcement sources and a congressional whistleblower. In other words, ATF submitted a report to the President and to the Attorney General of the United States containing information it knew was false. [More]

Hey, when they know they can lie under oath with impunity…
