Federal Judge Deals Final Death Blow to ATF’s ‘Engaged in the Business’ Rule [More]
It can’t be appealed? If not by this DOJ then by one reporting to a future Democrat administration? And what about future legislation?
Just like that? You’re sure? No pre-conditions or memberships needed? FFLs are all sure of what they need to do? Got all those questions for DOJ answered?
I’d hate to think people who had nothing to do with it and don’t know what they’re talking about are spreading bad legal advice.
And when are you going to do something about oath-breaking Republican power players like Ben Albritton?
I figure that’s how long it will take to read all this and then seconds to do what it asks.
While he appreciates all the support his son’s case has drawn—there are hundreds of videos and stories chronicled on his “Freedom for Tate” website—Tate remains is prison. To date, there has been no formal move to secure his release—despite the kind words of more than a few elected officials. [More]
Look at what just happened with NFA as a result of massive numbers of gun owners making noise that could not be ignored with midterms coming up.
Advocacy media played a huge part in that.

“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.”

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.
