Notes from the Resistance
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.

Look, if they want to limit themselves to a chemist and microscopist to analyze oleomargarine, I’ll shut up and go away.

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?
Anyone who observes suspected violations of the GCA or ATF’s implementing regulations may report them to ATF at https://www.atf.gov/atf-tips.

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. [More]
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?

Back when I was single, I never had a date that ended that way. Then again, I’ve never had professional training.

What else would we expect oath-breaking violence monopolist totalitarians to say?
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]
Don’t your oppressors deserve the very best?

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has quietly tested every single recovered firearm – even those not used in the commission of crimes – without probable cause or a search warrant for as long as anyone at the department can recall… [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.

Sure, it’ll be nice to point out all his inconsistencies in the echo chamber on a relatively obscure issue most Americans don’t care about, but if Republicans couldn’t do anything about it when they had the majority and Eric Holder told them to go F*** themselves, what makes them think they will be able to do anything about it with the Dems in the majority?

You gotta wonder if this is a ploy to extend the three-business day rule to “indefinitely.”
Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) reintroduced a bill which would require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to destroy firearm purchase records in their database. [More]
“Reintroduced”?
What are the chances of it passing this time? Does Michael Cloud know that?
The guy’s got a pretty good record. Hollow patronizing does not improve it.

Republican Texas Rep. Michael Cloud reintroduced a bill to require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to destroy gun purchase records they have in their database as the agency cracks down on gun stores. [More]
Fine and good.
Wake me when there’s a Senate willing to pass it and a president willing to sign it.
Today, we remember and honor the life and service of Special Agents Conway LeBleu, Todd McKeehan, Robert Williams and Steven Willis, who were killed attempting to execute warrants at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993. [More]
To put it mildly, comments are not supportive.
