‘Our Bad’

“The Q&A currently listed on the eforms account is incorrect. In this scenario, the registered owner of the NFA weapon is co-located with the firearm and thus no transfer has occurred… [More]

That’s some review and approval process they must have there…

We’re the Only Ones Hysterical Enough

“It turns a semi-automatic firearm into, essentially, a machine gun,” explained Estevan. “So, instead of one round being discharged from a firearm with the single pull of the trigger, when the switch is installed onto a firearm, you’re looking at 1,200 rounds with the single pull of the trigger within a minute.” [More]

Sounds like you need a massage there, SAC Estevan.

Did you tell them you’d need a magazine, what, 40 feet long…?

Charting a Course

Mark Smith breaks down how he would likely argue the 2nd Amendment case against these regulations converting handguns with stabilizing braces into alleged Short Barrel Rifles thus requiring registration with the ATF pursuant to the National Firearms Act… [Watch]

That anyone has to just shows how unAmerican the treasonous violence monopolists continue to be.

Brace Yourselves

Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) introduced the Protecting Individual Sovereignty Through Our Laws Act, or PISTOL Act. This legislation would prevent the Biden Administration from regulating pistol braces by clarifying that what constitutes a “pistol” is not subject to bureaucratic interpretation, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has wrongly done in their recently finalized rule. [More]

I don’t see it listed under his name on GovTrack yet but consider the bill’s passage prognosis pretty much “0” with a Democrat Senate and president.

Much Ado About What, Exactly?

Gaetz introduces ‘Abolish the ATF Act’ after ruling against stabilizing braces [More]

I don’t see any text yet, but my feeling is this is symbolic and doesn’t stand a chance of becoming law, especially considering the state of the Senate.

Besides, unless you abolish the functions, all you’re doing is kicking the can down the road and handing it to a bigger agency like the FBI, that’s better able to bury its crimes.

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.
