Notes from the Resistance
From Len Savage:
A new paradigm has entered the game…The same file could be used to CNC all metal components.
Uses a lot of off the shelf parts complete.
I don’t do a lot of hardware here because my thing is rights, so even though this is way cool, my first thought is when there’ll be a rule change.
I’ve mentioned before how I love to read books but between the reading I have to do for my professional obligations, the work itself, and my personal life, there’s just not a lot of time. I suppose having a sense of purpose and looking forward every morning to a full day I’m enthusiastic about living is something I should be grateful for, but it does mean making one choice means not making another — for now.
I just finished The Deadly Path, and am finalizing an interview with former ATF Agent and author Pete Forcelli for AmmoLand. Stay tuned.
I also agreed to read The Misinformation Antidote because the author contacted Firearms News claiming “court decisions carry with them the seeds of the [Second] amendment’s future destruction.” I’ll let you know what I think after I read it.
And then yesterday, one of my favorite liberty authors, Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D., sent me a copy of his new book, Stalin, Mao, Communism, and their 21st-Century Aftermath in Russia and China. The man knows whereof he speaks and I’m looking forward to reading it and sharing my impressions — just give me a minute.

Hey, if you want to blood dance, you first need blood.
Which invites two questions, one about the open border and the other about the imposition of prior restraints because people who have proven they can’t be trusted with a gun aren’t kept away from the rest of us.
I’ve established a dialog with Mr. Forcelli, have read his book, and will be releasing an interview and a review over the next few weeks.

How freedom is curtailed and plunder is squandered…
Iowa senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst are calling for accountability and a full review of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF’s) unlawful misclassification of administrative positions as “law enforcement.” Not only was this decades-long practice illegal, but it also burned millions of taxpayer dollars.

Just like the Founders intended!
I wonder how many SHOT attendees drooling over hardware are loudly taking these rope-selling Quislings to task and protesting it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom…?
About as many as manufacturers refusing to sell to or service the confiscators…?
It should be a straightforward enough process and you’d think the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Justice would be on the same page, instead of pointing fingers, abdicating responsibilities, and just plain getting things wrong, especially considering how they increasingly hold Federal Firearms Licensees to “zero tolerance standards” over paperwork glitches.

It took fear of getting spanked by the court, but they finally, grudgingly agreed to an appeals process.
The Second Amendment Foundation and a District Attorney in Pennsylvania have filed a federal lawsuit against Attorney General Merrick Garland, the heads of the FBI and ATF, and the U.S. Government, challenging the federal prohibition on gun ownership by medical marijuana users. [More]
There’s a Eugene Stoner joke in here somewhere…
Until such time as the smoke clears, I trust no one is making purchases with a credit card…?

And as in the case of the racist ATF, I’m not hearing aso much as a whimper from NOW of the Women’s March…
Yet both victim groups overwhelmingly support their Democrat abusers…

Does anyone believe Steve Detttelbach’s ATF doesn’t welcome being sued and hasn’t been ordered to find a plausible way to take a dive?

Think anything’ll come of this?
How about a way to derail other events by contacting city attorneys and reminding them that incentivizing people who don’t know the first thing abnout guns, including how to clear them, to handle and transport them, is not “gun safety,” but instead created a “gun liability” for them if a mishap ensues…?
That apparently worked in Farmington.

How many felonies will the “authorities” who would destroy you and me for continue to turn a blind eye to? And when finally forced to notice, what gaslighting excuses will the offer to “justify” no real punishment?

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the city backed down from participating in a highly publicized event just a few hours after I warned them the chief’s public admissions created a potential legal nightmare for them — and if similar warnings can be used to derail other “buybacks” where they’re incentivizing people with no safety training to handle and transport guns…
“You’ve been watching too many shows and reading too many books,” the agents respond. “I’m sure we’ll find you again someday.” [More]
What are “the agents” names? That bullying arrogance needs names and faces attached to it.
Why did he talk to them at all? Any denial that can be proven false is a felony and a lifetime gun ban. They’re obviously trying to entrap him and from what I’m hearing, they may have unless he surreptitiously gets rid of it.
And why does the tab in the USA Today article read “Conspiracy theories abound…” ? What “conspiracy theories” does the “real reporter” document? Or is this just more of what we’ve some to expect from Gannett Publications…?
Funny, how the first heinous act of supprerssor abuse they could come up with to show how they’re too dangerous to trust the public with was:
A former Los Angeles Police Department officer armed with a Glock pistol and AR-15, both affixed with silencers, shot and killed four people in February 2013.
And in any case, they did not establish how the suppressor on the gun made it any more deadly or allowed the perps to get away with it, or had any more effect on what happened than the color shirt the killers wore. Hey, when you have a herd to spook, they’re not apt to sense a correlation/causation logical fallacy.
