Notes from the Resistance
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.

Reps. Jordan, Massie demand ATF director testify before House Judiciary Committee [More]
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.

Unelected ATF just made a new “law” that turns 40M law-abiding gun owners into felons for owning a pistol brace. Latest example of the bureaucratic state making laws undermining our freedom and democracy. This must stop. [Watch]
Fine and good, Tulsi. Well stated and much is correct, but”gun rights” proponents need to stop asserting Congress is the body that should be able to ban guns. There’s no delegated power that negates “shall not be infringed.”

“This was a textbook case of trafficking firearms to Mexico,” ATF Special Agent in Charge Fred Milanowski said in the press release. “Firearms trafficking is illegal and immoral. Unfortunately, the consequences of a firearm illegally possessed in the United States and Mexico can cause danger and harm for decades. As demonstrated by this case, we will continue to investigate and prosecute gun traffickers who endanger the lives of law-abiding citizens in our communities.” [More]
Speaking of textbook cases…

New ways for swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance…
Everybody knows the clause in the Constitution that delegates and authorizes these powers, don’t you?
Anybody…?
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed an amended federal complaint challenging the Biden administration’s new “Arm Brace Rule,” accusing the government of violating the Administrative Procedures Act, the Second Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. [More]
And the damning thing is, the government knows it’s violating all of those things.
New Leak Shows The ATF’s Plan To Revoke FFLs [More]
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends upon what the meaning of the word “rogue” is.
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen and 23 other states filed a lawsuit against an egregious and overreaching Biden administration gun control regulation that will turn millions of gun owners into felons if they do not register certain devices they lawfully own with the federal government and pay a tax. [More]
They join FPC, SAF, GOA, NRA and… is anybody keeping track of all the lawsuits on this at one go-to link?
UPDATE
ATF Director Steve Dettelbach talks about enforcing gun laws amid surge in mass shootings [More]
Funny. That’s the same thing so many of our “gun rights leaders” say we need to do.
And note this admission:
But at ATF, our job is to take the rules and laws that Congress has passed…
Yeah, about that…
And while we’re on the subject, perhaps someone will be good enough to point out where Congress is delegated with the authority to infringe…?

This technical change pushes “others” within the definition of “assault weapon” under Connecticut’s ban… While residents of other states are able to register these firearms with the ATF, or change the short barrels for longer ones to make them legal, the ATF has stated that it will not permit any such registrations from Connecticut residents due to Connecticut’s “assault weapon” ban. Nor will changing out the barrels avoid redesignation as banned “assault weapons” under Connecticut law. [More]
Damned if they did, damned if they didn’t.
Marijuana users have a constitutional right to own firearms, judge rules [More]
This is one of the subjects we touched on last night.
