Crank It Up

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.

The Holding Pattern

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.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

ATF official: Federal prosecutors turning a blind eye to straw purchasers, again – Events reminiscent of ATF’s “Operation Fast & Furious” scandal. [More]

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.

And There was War in Heaven

ATF argues against California’s demands for ghost gun regulations – California is demanding that ATF change its rules relating to ghost guns. [More]

ATF isn’t grabbing guns fast enough for the people who want it all, want it now, and want it delivered.

Let them expend resources on internecine stuff for a change.

We’re the Only Ones Padding Enough

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.

“Padding statistics” is kind of a tradition with them.

Kapos Help Camp Guards

NSSF, ATF, DOJ Emphasize ‘Don’t Lie for the Other GuyTM’ [More]

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…?

ATF/FBI ‘Lovers Spat’ Catch-22 on NFA Appeals Resolved

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. [More]

It took fear of getting spanked by the court, but they finally, grudgingly agreed to an appeals process.

Pot Shots

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…?

From the Government That Brought Us ‘Zero Tolerance’ for FFLs

40,000 Weapons Sent to Ukraine Have Gone Missing: Pentagon IG [More]

Meanwhile, you fill out lost and stolen reports– or else.

Anyone doubt they’ll turn up…?

The convergence of incompetence and intent needed for this to happen is just stunning.

So: Who’s even losing a job?

Baltimore’s ATF Lawsuit Really Only Targets ‘Law-Abiding’ Gun Dealers

The prohibitionists want to sue dealers out of existence and are using spurious allegations parroted by their complicit media partners to add another con to their repertoire of rights swindles. [More]

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?

Tripling Down

RFK students are making a 6 string guitar from our dismantled guns from our #GuntoGardens buyback program [More]

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.

Related UPDATE

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?
