Unequal Protection

Let that sink in: a slap-on-the-wrist fine and a short-term compliance program for one of America’s biggest gunmakers, which at the time was the leading source of crime guns in nine Northeastern states. [More]

So there’s inequity in policies and rulings relied on in enforcement and determination actions? Who knew?

And aside from the loaded term “crime guns” playing right into the hands of the antis, if the author can document a direct connection between Smith & Wesson recordkeeping failures and a victimization, let’s see it. I suspect if one could be made, we’d have found out the limits of PLCAA by now and deep pockets would have already been plucked.

I don’t need this to hate on S&W.

Of course, they weren’t the only sellout whores.

Much Ado About Nothing

Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Would Slash Suppressor Transfer Costs To Zero [More]

But that’s not REALLY the point, is it?

I know, his rhetoric is a damn sight better than what Harris’s would have been, but who seriously believes even this will make it out of the Senate and to his desk?

I wish GOA would use the rhetoric I’m seeing from them here on something much more existential that they have so far been ignoring.

The Eye of Sauron

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, is demanding answers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) about its surveillance of American gun owners. [More]

Well, now that Pam Bondi’s put out her all-hands memo, this oughta be a slam dunk, right, Dan?

We’re the Only Ones Swindling Enough

GOP senators demand swift action against Biden-era ATF bureaucrats who allegedly ‘defrauded taxpayers’ of $20M — and still work for federal govt. [More]

Hey, don’t forget to look into Best Qualified List allegations:

“The problem is, that Chipman has been manipulating the Bureau-sponsored contractor to pad the Best Qualified List (BQL) with friends. The net effect is that the truly qualified people are not being considered for the positions. It has also been stated that Chipman has delivered HIS version of the BQLs for these contract positions, demanding his buddies be placed at the top of the list. Yep, fraud. That simple. Yep, the 5th floor knows.”

Kinda makes me wonder what could have been avoided if Congresss had listened to me n’ Mike before Gunwalker back in ’09…

DOJ to Illinois Gun Owners: Write Your Democrat Legislators to Repeal Infringements

If you want relief, contact your state representatives, the Democrat ones who are passing citizen disarmament edicts, and ask them not to. [More]

The bipolarity will continue until such time as gun owner advocates have a seat at the decision-making table.

We’re the Only Ones Hushed Enough

Why do ATF agents need new suppressors for their ARs? [More]

Oh, look! LEs use the same “hearing protection” argument “our side” does (instead of us claiming it as a right government has no legitimate claim to). Meanwhile, the grabtard lobby tells its useful idiots that, in the hands of mere citizens, they are “inherently dangerous devices” and “deadly accessories.”

Interesting Admission

“What we will see over time is absolutely a rise in gun violence; we will see a rise in homicide; we will see a rise in suicide; we will see a rise in unintentional injury of kids with guns in the home.” [More]

So, Kris, even you know all the thousands of infringements you control freaks have imposed so far at the federal, state, and local levels have been useless at doing what you make milions promising the gullible they will do…?

And now you’re angrily demanding more…?

We’re the Only Ones Still D!cking Around with What Won’t Work Enough

The DOJ filed the reports to convince Judge Aileen Cannon to allow the prosecution to present evidence of Routh’s prior convictions to a jury—ostensibly to demonstrate that Routh knew he was a felon who wasn’t allowed to possess a gun when he tried killing Trump last September. [More]

Like that ever stops anybody.

Further bolstering the “prohibited persons” concept hardly advances “shall not be infringed.” Those who have been so designated need to be either enfranchised or contained.

Government Opposes Compassionate Release of Gun Tuber Matthew Hoover For Terminal Medical Condition [More]

Read this. Let your blood boil. Then ask yourself why Pam Bondi, the ATF’s new supposedly “pro-gun” Chief Counsel, and that DOJ Civil Rights honcho we’ve been hearing such hopeful things about are going to allow this tyranny to continue.

Because they’ve been pulling this crap of modifying seized property into “illegality” for a long time. And again. And again.

And it’s not like they have legitmate delegated authority even if the items worked without forced engineering.
