Notes from the Resistance
ATF is proud of our partnership with @NSSF to irradicate straw purchasing activities in the St. Louis area through education using the “Don’t Lie” campaign. #DontLieForTheOtherGuy [More]
Hiring the best and the brightest, are we? Hey, if we expect them to irrase irroneous tweets, their whole account will have to go.
A special agent with the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has decided to enter a plea deal in a Cochise County court to resolve an allegation he engaged in nonconsensual sexual contact with a bartender while off-duty at a Bisbee hotel in 2020. But first, Joseph T. Davis wants most of the case documents sealed from the public, purportedly due to potential career and safety issues. [More]
Set loose the Streisand Effect!

UPDATE
You complain, we listen. Received via email:

David:I was distressed and disturbed to read your post about the ATF agent who wanted his court documents sealed, especially when I read his full name in the body of your post.
This is inappropriate. The correct approach is to put his full name in the headline of the post, which carries with it more SEO weight.
I hope you fix this unfortunate oversight.

ATF had installed undercover agents in a house across the street from the Davidians, to observe them. This is the agents’ report for Feb. 19, nine days before the ATF raid and initial gunfight, describing what they did that day. They went shooting. With David Koresh. [More]
David Hardy’s FOIA has uncovered a bit of inconvenient history the DSM will be sure to ignore.
“After we questioned their motives and informed them of Oversight and Republican controlled Appropriations, they all left,” Greene added. “Protect the Second Amendment and the law abiding businesses. [More]
It feels like they were looking for a prize. Expect them to be back with a vengeance when she’s not there. And expect adverse action findings to “justify” their large presence.
I’m actually surprised they didn’t arrest her for obstruction. General counsel must have told them the optics weren’t right… yet.
“You see, if we made a statute absolutely forbidding any human being to have a machine gun, you might say there is some constitutional question involved.” [More]
Now, what are all those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” in Congress going to do about it?
This is the time-to-crime rate for firearms in St. Louis. [More]
So how many murders have been solved by tracing a gun back to its owner? You’d think with all the numbers they throw at us, that would be the headline to trumpet.
Mr. King advised that I was wasting my time looking for New York Attorney and that the NYSRPA and the NRA would not help legally. The call did not end well when I pressed Mr. King about those in our ranks turning customer data over to the government and law-enforcement agencies… hung up on me? I will address that conversation in a separate video post. [More]
I wonder how many members had and will have data compromised.

Republican Rep. asks ATF if lying on their federal Background check is illegal.
ATF: “Yes. 15 years in jail if you do that.”
Republican Rep. Tiffany: “So why is Hunter Biden not in Prison?” [Watch]
Why isn’t everyone aiding and abetting his commission of a felony?
I’d argue my headline is more accurate. [More]
In April 2022, the Department of Justice announced the “Frame or Receiver” final rule that modernizes the definition of a firearm.
Read “illegally changes.”
Some suppliers of partially complete frames or receivers appear to be attempting to willfully circumvent the rule…
We’re coming for you. And your customers. Prepare for the J6 and/or Waco treatment.
It may also include internet links to templates, jigs, molds, equipment, tools or other materials that enable ready completion or assembly of the unfinished frame or receiver into a firearm.
Why would we worry about the First Amendment now that we’ve neutralized the Second?

The Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Chairman Pat Fallon (R-Texas) and the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) will hold a joint hearing examining the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) actions aimed at curtailing the ability of lawful gun owners to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

The best they can come up with for “our side” is Amy Swearer…?

The federal government has been using Americans’ income and gun purchases to conduct warrantless tracking and deny Second Amendment rights. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) gave salary estimates to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as the reason to have people’s firearms purchases monitored. [More]
So does that mean IRS is giving them the income data?

Funny, how few “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” in Congress have ever tried to do anything about that when their party held the majority…

Biden’s budget proposal contains $1.9 billion for the ATF. This is a 13.6 percent increase over 2022 and half a billion dollars more than the agency’s fiscal 2020 budget. If passed as written, Biden’s budget would expand the ATF by 35.7 percent—an overall growth of more than 50 percent since the Obama administration. [More]

Your job is to obey. There’s is to order.
Besides, anyone see ATF say “No”?
Video from the family’s surveillance camera shows an unmarked police car pull up, and a Lorain police officer and a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent jump out and try to speak with the boys. [More]
ATF? And 12 in all show up? Over “jaywalking”?
And nice “We the People” tat.
Nice way these “sworn officers” talk to citizens. I see the Lorain PD limits who can comment on their posts so citizens can’t talk back.
And remember: Back the Blue!

I have never given up hope that the collector’s item I got so I’d have standing will one day be surrendered back to me by ATF.
I wonder if SCOTUS will forever punt, and what the implications will be for pistol braces, forced reset triggers, and the like.
