Notes from the Resistance
Woman Who Lied About Drugs During Gun Purchase Sent To Prison: What about Hunter? [More]
The way comments are dominated by redirection to take the focus off the article followed by interminable petty squabbles and name-calling sure works in ATF’s favor here.
See my sidebar “Comment House Rules.” I won’t allow that here.
Anybody doesn’t like it can have all their money back.
GOA’s plan to eliminate the ATF [Watch]
They recognize the danger of getting rid of the agency without getting rid of the infringements.

Biggs said one of the Fast and Furious guns has recently been used in a crime. Biggs didn’t provide details of this crime, but said the ATF is now questioning the firearms dealer from which the gun emanated. [More]
I wish he would provide details because I’ve been asked and it caught me flat-footed, although I’ve been away from that story, and my original sources have moved on or gone silent.
I will take exception to one characterization Biggs made:
“Botched.”
If you believe that, you’ve allowed yourself to be misdirected from the get-go.
CRS FIREARMS CASE: Can this 2014 legal precedent involving ATF save Matt Hoover? [Watch]
You’d think not working would be all it took.

Idiot troopers documented themselves manufacturing “assault weapons” while illicitly raiding my shop, violating 922(a)(1), NYPL 265.10 and 25 CFR § 11.440 fabricating evidence / we also got them and ATF on 210.35 sworn false statements to a grand jury in the 2nd as per the court’s dismissal decision [More]
So… if NY “Only Ones” AND ATF are involved, who should be told?
Lotta NRA “A”-rated Republicans here…
Maybe ask the chairman what he thinks…

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Steve Dettelbach was unable to define the term “assault weapon” during his agency’s Tuesday budget request hearing before a House Appropriations subcommittee. [More]
To channel Nancy, they have to pass the rule before they can tell you what it bans…?
And people can go to prison or be killed over it? How is this not the definition of tyranny?

The ATF is not tipping its hand about how it received the WOT owner’s information. [More]
Could be the company, could be the credit card processor… I’m wondering if how they ship products and package weights could play a part.

House Judiciary Committee to Vote on Overturning ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule [More]
That was yesterday. I’m not seeing anything on the committee’s news release page or Twitter feed yet.
In any case:
“The bill with the resolution will face a tough battle to get through the rest of Congress before heading to the President’s desk. Even if it does get to Biden’s desk, there is almost no chance that the President will sign it into law since he has been openly hostile to gun rights. The Republicans do not have the votes to override a veto, even if some Democrats switch sides.”
The true test will be what Republicans do if and when they have the power to see things through.
Another Federal Judge Rejects the DOJ’s Argument That Cannabis Consumers Have No Second Amendment Rights [More]
And then there’s action on the restraining order front…
I’ll bet a lot of “prohibited person” exclusions could be overturned with the right case, starting with the “one year” nonsense that has no bearing on proven proclivities for violence.
[More]
So is this an illegal stencil I could get sentenced to Sodomy Row for posting? Talk about “securing the Blessings of Liberty!”
Hey, if this can be read internationally, does that make it an ITAR technical data export violation?
The firearm industry wants to keep firearms out of the hands of those who cannot be trusted to responsibly possess them. That includes prohibited individuals, those suffering through a mental health crisis or suffering suicidal ideations and unsupervised children. “Red flag” laws have utility in protecting the public but must be carefully administered so these orders aren’t abused to disarm lawful gun owners. [More]
Define “unsupervised children.”
Yeah, listen to the latter-day Judenrat and collaborate with the jackboots. What could go wrong?
And continue ignoring the only thing that will work.

“Don’t Lie” is a cooperative program between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and NSSF. [More]
So if a trusted friend or relative is a “prohibited person” because they ran afoul of some unconstitutional citizen disarmament edict, or have been “red flagged” and disenfranchised without due process, the industry “solution” is to turn your back on him? Sounds like fascism in action to me.
If someone has been proven a truly dangerous character, why would they be anyplace they could receive a gun — from any source? We all know what prior restraint “background checks” enable, and how that will be exploited once Democrats have the votes. And since when is the mantra that “gun control” works?
Every time I see NSSF bragging about licking jackboots, kapos and drivers come to mind.
However, the ATF points out that the actual reason for the revocations may include but are “not limited to, the above list.” That is a massive understatement, since the real reasons for the majority of recent FFL revocations are far less serious. They are, in fact, minor clerical errors, which the ATF now considers willful violations of its self-written rules rather than simple mistakes, because of its zero-tolerance policy that Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland announced in June 2021.

Shades of Red’s Trading Post (five full pages or blog posts for those who want to see what it took for just one gun shop to prevail)…
I’m remembering the time a U.S. Marshal tried to scare me away from covering that.
Dettelbach on the work of the ATF [Watch]
Now there’s the kind of hard-hitting watchdog journalism on guns we’ve come to expect from The Washington Post!
It’s almost like they’re a volunteer public relations department…

Mr. Holden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is under indictment and Mr. Holden answered no. [More]
Now try:
Mr. Biden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance and Mr. Biden answered no.
It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
