Once More Unto the Breach

SB Tactical, one of the most popular AR-15 pistol brace manufacturers, appears to have been hit with a data breach, where customer data, including names, addresses, and credit card information, was leaked online. [More]

That looks like something for Republicans now in control of House Oversight to look into.

A Larger Point

Franklin Armory and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc. (FRAC) have filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) over what the plaintiffs allege are wrongful classification of firearms and regulatory delays. [More]

That presupposes there are rightful classifications and acceptable review times.

People Also Propagandize

I was looking for some ATF financial information for an article I’m drafting and happened upon this “helpful” information “courtesy” of Google:

People also answer, but the key here is “which people”?

I wonder when Google is just going to come right out and openly adopt “Be evil”…?

FFL Persecuted for Years by FBI and ATF Left to Fend for Himself

In light of Bruen and its “historical understanding” benchmark, it’s difficult to see how an honest legal analysis could continue to support ATF’s vindictive vendetta against Albert Kwan. [More]

What a prolonged and tyrannical outrage. The question now is, does anyone besides a handful of us care?

Machine Gun Charges Against Small Town Police Chief Point to Larger Issues

Nice work if you can get it. The problem is, without a badge, you can’t, and therein lies the crux of police as “Only Ones.” [More]

Special exemptions make it easy to forget your place in the food chain.

Calculated Destruction of ‘Gunwalker’ Evidence Shows ATF Cover-Up Ongoing

That ongoing legal actions require evidence to be preserved and that ATF, the agency that stonewalled investigations and retaliated against whistleblowers now seeks to be the agent of its destruction, is a good circumstantial indicator that its priority remains one of covering up. [More]

There can be no “reform.” These corrupt bastards will never back down unless they are forced to.

Just Like the Founders Intended

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice have sent the rule surrounding pistol stabilizing devices to the White House for Presidential review. [More]

Since we’re told we live under a system of consent of the governed, I’m sure the delegated authority for this is in here somewhere…

We’re the Only Ones Covering Our Tracks Enough

Yesterday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) notified us that it intends to destroy the firearms associated with the botched Operation Fast and Furious. [More]

I thought there was no statute of limitations on being accessories to murder.

This is the first time I can recall having a serious disagreement with Jim Jordan.

‘Take the Guns First. Go Through Due Process Second’

ATF agents would later say he’s innocent, but they still take his shit, and leave him with seizure receipts for just the serialized parts (receivers, suppressors, etc.) but not the rest of the gear (optics, parts, etc.)… Marcelo calls again two weeks later, ATF agent says right now he is innocent but threatens to press charges against him if he keeps “blowing up [their] phone” [More]

A “gun rights” group needs to look at this. If things are as represented, there’s no way he should have to fight this on his own.

Authorized Infringers?

Jordan says the ghost gun rule “goes well beyond the authority granted to the agency in any applicable federal statutes,” and expands the legal definition of a firearm beyond what Congress intended. A prior letter from Jordan to ATF declared the rule “appears to be a deliberate attempt to usurp the authority of Congress,” and said it unconstitutionally infringes “on American citizens’ fundamental Second Amendment rights and privacy rights under the Fourth Amendment.” [More]

He’s right about the agency lacking authority. What I’ve yet to see is where Congress can legitimately claim it.

And I don’t see too many on “our side” talking about that.
