Rotten to the Core
At the center of this case is whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) properly interpreted the term “machinegun,” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b), to include items known as non-mechanical bump stocks. [More]
And at the center of that is the question of where the hell any branch of government has the legitimate authority to infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

A Message That Bears Repeating
New FOIA Request Filed on Hunter Biden Gun Investigation Now That Privacy Excuse is Gone

Because the DOJ has now made charges public, and because Biden’s attorney has acknowledged those charges, attorney Stephen Stamboulieh filed a new FOIA request Tuesday afternoon. [More]
The Biden administration’s enforcers want to gloss this over and are counting on the “real reporters” to let them. My sense is there’s more here to uncover and I want to keep digging and find out what they don’t want us to know.

Speaking of Sending Hither Swarms of Officers to Harass Our People…
During my visit to Highwood Creek Outfitters, I learned that the IRS confiscated all the 4473 forms from the store. This means that the sensitive personal information of any customer ever to purchase a firearm at Highwood Creek Outfitters is now in the hands of the IRS. These background check forms include no financial information, and there is no discernable reason why the IRS would need these forms. The IRS committed an egregious breach of privacy for Montana’s gun owners, and I am outraged that the agents involved showed no regard for federal law. Although there are still some murky details regarding the events at Highwood Creek Outfitters. There is no circumstance in which 4473’s would be necessary in an investigation spearheaded by the IRS.

I guess seizing records outright beats taking pictures with their phones. Funny, how this most significant piece of information got buried until the end of the “news” account…

If You See Something Say Something
The guns will be collected anonymously, unloaded and stored in a locked safe. They will be turned in to Cleveland Police Department’s 4th precinct headquarters every day. [More]
Brandon can accept transfers without background checks? And with “prohibited persons” on staff? Does ATF know about this?
Hey, they don’t have a “No Guns” sticker on the door, do they?
I didn’t imagine there was much demand for Fois Gras and Cuisses de Grenouille among the gang bang set…

DOJ Prosecutes Black Mother On 4473 Drug Denial While Giving Passes to Democrats

That said, it’s also entirely appropriate to show how the so-called “justice system” treats the president’s son and a highly connected Democrat apparatchik differently than it does people of modest means and people of color FOR THE SAME CHARGE. [More]
It’s a big club Hunter Biden and Nikki Fried belong to, and unconnected black people ain’t in it.
Not Government-Approved
Alcoa man accused of selling more than 100 guns illegally after undercover investigation – Marsh was accused in the documents of not just selling guns illegally, but selling illegal weapons like machine guns. [More]
He certainly doesn’t sound like he was very smart about it.
So… what do we make of Harvey’s Pistol and Pawn…?

There’s Us and There’s You
According to court documents filed Monday, Taylor made a false claim on the firearms transaction form she filled out when she bought a 9mm handgun in 2022. Section G of that form asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Prosecutors said Taylor lied when she answered no, and that she was actually a marijuana user. [More]
Just to be clear: Joe Biden’s Justice Department will give his son Hunter and connected Democrat Nikki Fried a pass, but put the screws to a black mother struggling to get by.
Where the hell are the so-called “black leaders”?

Don’t Shill for the ATF
C’mon, everybody! Let’s suck off a confiscator today!
Surprising No One…
Only a fraction of the guns affected by the ATF’s new rule were registered with the agency during the four-month grace period that ended this week. [More]
