‘Bowing to Pressure’

“The Department of Justice had the opportunity to act to protect our safety, but it failed to do so,” Kris Brown, the president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement, noting the campaign from Republican lawmakers. “Our elected officials are supposed to serve the American people, not the gun industry’s bottom line. Today, the gun industry and silencer dealers are celebrating, while Americans are left less safe.” [More]

Couldn’t find anyone to refute that unmitigated horses#!+, could you, “real reporter” Chris Cameron?

They show their cards in the first sentence, about what you’d expect from “The newsraper of record.”

Randy Weaver called. He wants his wife and son back.

The Wrong Question

As long as we’re talking non-binary, I feel like the little girl in the Shake ‘N Bake commercial:

Of course, the better solution would be NO 4473s, but none of our “gun rights leaders” want to talk about BIDS…

Who Couldn’t See That Coming?

I do not understand why these lawyers are not being babysat by the Second Amendment unit of the Department of Justice because I cannot believe that people like Harmeet Dhillon would have signed off on the brief that was just filed by the Department of Justice in the Chris Brown versus BATF case… [Watch]

I understand why. I can believe it.

I don’t blame embedded subversives any more than the frog should blame the scorpion. I blame those they report to who have let them stay on and get away with it.

Missing the Barn

The proposal we’re discussing was published in the Federal Register by the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Its purpose is to revise the regulatory definitions of two phrases that have existed in federal firearms law for decades, “adjudicated as a mental defective” and “committed to a mental institution…” [Watch]

I guess everbody’ll keep making it about guns as long as people want to keep ignoring the obvious…

The Devil in the Details

ATF Director Says Violent Criminals Are Agency’s Priority, Not Lawful Gun Owners [Watch]

Yeah, about that:

We condemn any program that involves enforcing unconstitutional “laws”, even if such “laws” are enforced only against violent criminals. Unconstitutional “laws” are illegal, harmful to public safety, tyrannical, and are inevitably enforced against ordinary, non-criminal citizens.

As for the laws they break that aren’t unconstitutional, none of those are within the purview of ATF.

Don’t Die for a Data Lie

Dramatics aside, it’s a known fact that any interactions with law enforcement, no matter how mundane, escalate the chances of a negative and potentially life-threatening outcome. Armed agents of the State with qualified immunity, taking someone by surprise over what is likely to be a bookkeeping error? [More]

So “false positives” have the potential to be much more than  inconvenient delays?

At least it’s bipartisan!

On Again/Off Again

“The Trump Administration is fighting as hard as it can to continue violating the Second Amendment rights of millions of Americans. Even though the Fifth Circuit already held that these bans are unconstitutional, the government is trying to limit the decision’s reach so it can keep disarming peaceable adults across the country. This is how the United States government celebrates 250 years of American independence—by acting like the tyrants we defeated. [More]
