Slap Down

The Fifth Circuit panel ruled that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Final Rule is illegal. Circuit Judge Kurt D. Englehardt wrote, “An agency cannot label conduct lawful one day and felonious the next—yet that is exactly what ATF accomplishes through its Final Rule. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED to the extent it holds unlawful the two challenged portions of the Final Rule, and VACATED and REMANDED as to the remedy.” The case is known as VanDerStok v. Garland. [More]

A Justice Department that was true to the Constitution would be enforcing rights and punishing government transgressors.

What a novel idea that would be.

Sociopathic Leftwing @$$holes Demand Action

A man who killed five people at a bank in Louisville earlier this year wrote in his journal that he wanted to demonstrate the consequences of gun laws that he viewed as too lenient, according to police. [More]

All this and he lied on the 4473… What a perfect Moms Demand spokespredator! Stop me before I kill again!

OK. BLAM!

Some of us are not surprised, and further posit that those who rabidly don’t trust others with freedom are really projecting difficulty containing their own inner beasts.

P!$$ on this freak. He doesn’t deserve a memorial that treats his well-deserved death like a loss.

Bleaters, Traitors, Oath-Breakers, and Tools for Tyranny

The bills prohibit anyone convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense from owning a firearm or ammunition for 8 years following the payment of all related fines and completion of incarceration or probation conditions. [More]

But we can otherwise trust him without a custodian because we all know prohibited persons won’t be able to get guns, right?

The other oft-overlooked point: Exaggerated or outright false vengeance charges can be made and people who are overwhelmed can be pressured into a misdemeanor plea to get the threat of more and more severe charges off their backs — especially if they’re of limited means and don’t understand their rights and where they can go for help.

If the GOP doesn’t blow ’24 and the court stays the same, expect SCOTUS to rule IAW Bruen. How much injustice will be done in the meantime, and how many won’t be able to afford to challenge the unlimited tax plunder resources of the state?

We’re the Only Ones Chronic and Habitual Enough

“The Justice Department will do everything in its power to find and hold accountable the gun traffickers who are arming the cartels.” [More]

Good one! And they’re headline whoring for the same reasons.

Why does Sir Wilfrid’s cross-examination of Frau Helm come to mind…?

Corporate Media Conspicuously Quiet After Memphis Man Kills Four in Multi-Location Rampage [More]

No one criticizes the DSM more than I do, but that is simply not so.

Then there’s this:

Laws, if enforced, would have prevented him from owning the firearm he used to shoot women and girls.

No, they would not have. They couldn’t have unless, like the gun-grabbers, your contention is that citizen disarmament edicts work to stop chronic criminals.

They don’t.

Only one thing could.

Credible gun influencers have a responsibility to know better than to parrot the NRA’s/NSSF’s “Enforce existing Intolerable Acts” crap.

The Sentence First, Verdict Afterwards Act

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Protect Domestic Abuse Survivors From Gun Violence [More]

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Deny Constitutional Rights to the Accused — there, I fixed it for them.

No prognosis yet on GovTrack, but with a Republican House consider this political posturing by the usual gang of rights prohibitionists in anticipation of SCOTUS enraging them in Rahimi.

Assuming the GOP doesn’t blow ’24.

Up in Smoke

Did the ATF Just Make Airsoft Smoke Grenades Illegal? [More]

I’d read the notification and made the wrong assumption that this only applied to “government contractors and subcontractors performing explosives operations exclusively pursuant to a current and valid contract with a government agency,” but I guess that part just means they no longer have de facto exemptions.

Having zero experience with the Airsoft community, I wasn’t aware of that aspect.
