Notes from the Resistance
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…

They have unlimited resources to drag things out until the bitter end.
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.

He certainly doesn’t sound like he was very smart about it.
So… what do we make of Harvey’s Pistol and Pawn…?

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.

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”?

Like Mr. Carlin said…
C’mon, everybody! Let’s suck off a confiscator today!
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]
I’m sure if Mike were still here he’d have a smuggling program going full tilt about now…

Here’s the GOA Order:

It’s not like the prohibition affects anyone important.

As an aside, I had to copy and paste this into my WarOnGuns Placeholder site from their email. I wanted to link to their “Alerts” page, but I’m getting a “Site Not Found” notice. Hopefully, that will be cleared up soon.
Len Savage sent ATF parts of an unassembled firearm, ATF returned a completed gun. [More]
Is it paranoia if they’re really out to get you?
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court in Sackett v EPA issued a major ruling cutting back on the authority of the EPA and by extension all federal executive branch agencies such as the ATF to enact laws via regulations. The Sackett opinion contains powerful language that can likely be used against the ATF in various contexts including in the ongoing legal fights over the bump stock ban and the pistol brace rules. Mark Smith breaks it down. [Watch]
If you think about it, this is also a powerful argument against the phony “single issue” deflection.
It’s all related. That’s because it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.

And from Gun Owners of America, via email alert:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 23, 2023
Washington, D.C. — Gun Owners of America (GOA) issued the following statements after the 5th Circuit Court partially enjoined the Biden Pistol Brace Ban this morning. GOA and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) had filed an amicus brief in Mock v. Garland, as well as filed their own challenge to the rule in conjunction with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a different federal court.
“This is an encouraging step from the Fifth Circuit, and we hope that the judge in our own case will see this ruling and in turn grant a more robust injunction to relief the millions of Americans nationwide who may soon be in legal jeopardy,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior VP. “This is just the latest attempt by the Biden Administration to weaponize federal agencies against the American people, and we will continue to stand in the way in defense of our rights.”
“This injunction is welcome news, but due to it’s limited nature, we still need Congress to act before the June 1st deadline,” said Aidan Johnsotn, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs. “189 Representatives and 47 Senators have already signed on, and we urge the Speaker to put this on the floor for a vote and force Democrats in both chambers to vote on whether to make their constituents felons overnight.”
GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
