Notes from the Resistance
On Monday, ATF announced Ruling 2022-1, signed August 17, 2022, authorizing FFLs to retain an electronic version of each ATF Form 4473, provided the method of digital storage and conditions of the ruling are met. Retail FFLs seeking to eliminate paper and take advantage of the new ruling must comply with ATF Ruling 2016-2 and subsequent rulings. [More]

Everytown took a MASSIVE financial hit in 2020, used most of their donations to fund salaries – Everytown’s 501c4 Action Fund for 2020 is now available, and it’s a good one lol. First, they took a 75% hit in revenue… [More]
It’s the “pandemic,” they say.
And here’s the “Support Fund.”
So when do we start seeing some high-profile firings? Or will they keep heads to save face?

ATF’s New “Frame or Receiver” Rule – What You Should Know — Part 3 — [More]
This is the last installment. It has links if you missed the first two.
With only one dissenting vote, the city of Edgewater has officially banned the open carry of firearms, with at least one city council member attempting to tie the carrying of guns to white supremacy… At a June 7 meeting, Councilmember Hannah Gay Keao — who doubles as a Mom’s Demand Action gun control activist — suggested language be added to the ordinance stipulating that gun violence can be mostly attributed to white supremacy, a trait at least one other council member then connected to right-of-center political ideology. [More]
So that explains Chicago, DC, Baltimore, St. Louis…
And don’t worry: She doesn’t want to allow concealed carry, either.
These people just open their mouths and spew and it doesn’t matter what erupts. They have a ready audience of cultists ready to lick it up and gulp it down.
Naturally, she also demands power.

Sorry. That’s extortion. At this point, it has become appropriate to tell them to go **** themselves. And if half a dozen show up to protest, watch that deemed newsworthy.
Looks like a private group. With 2.8K “members,” my bet is there’s some serious AstroTurfing going on. What are they trying to hide?
And they don’t appear to be strong enough supporters to all sign the online petition.
This appears to be the guy auditioning for national exposure.

The Break Down of The First Known ATF FRT Confiscation [More]
I continue to shake my head at the number of gun owners who don’t grok the basics. And I’m not surprised that they rolled on the next guy.
That said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge ATF Special Agent Chuck Donahoe until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.

Which is why all the “gun pundits” celebrating “diversity” without factoring in voting patterns are fooling themselves and their followers. If owning a gun was all it took, we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.
And speaking of idiots…

Democrats will lose Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Rep. Carolyn Maloney or both after Tuesday’s election [More]
But don’t worry. If I know my New York Democrats, and I do, whoever emerges will be a horrible choice for gun owners.
Boxes of paper records fill nearly every corridor of the ATF’s National Tracing Center, where agents are struggling to keep up with surging requests from local police. [More]
Still singing the same old song…
What they want, of course, is a national registry database traceable to legal purchasers that will by design exclude the illegal ones. Who but a deplorable hate-filled racist Nazi white supremacist could be against that?

Someday, Young will finally be vindicated. Someday,
our Court must issue an opinion that respects the rights
enshrined in the Second Amendment. [More]
Why the J6 “insurrectionists” did not come armed has still not been explained and remains as confounding as why a suspect armed with an AR-15 would bother shooting into an FBI field office with a nail gun. But that’s not as important to those who would tar half their countrymen with the brush of traitor. [More]
One way to chill criticism of the FBI is to conflate anyone who does with violent, hateful, and dangerous domestic extremists who need to be disarmed.
The Firearm Industry Fairness Act would mean that “the family hunting rifle is not taxed at the same rate as an assault weapon, and would ensure that the firearm industry, like other industries in America, takes responsibility for the safety and misuse of its products,” Maloney said in a statement.

Until someone, say, Carolyn Maloney, decides they’re “sniper rifles“…
There ain’t no deals with Polyphemus. He’ll eat you when he damn well feels like it.

“Sound like Beirut out here yesterday and I never been to Beirut but it sound like Beirut out here yesterday” [More]
Oh, look: A common denominator!
So, if you’re living in a war zone, what kind of weapons do you need again…?

Tulsi Gabbard: Washington Elite Pose “Greatest Threat” To Democracy [More]
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, democracy should be threatened and often, and by someone who knows how.
I don’t get the “conservative” fascination. Gabbard reminds me of that old Shake ‘N Bake commercial where the little Southern girl says “And I helped.”

ATF’s New ‘Ghost Gun’ Rules Are as Clear as Mud – The ATF used a lot of words that invite lawsuits and leave industry insiders baffled. [More]
That’s by design. Make things so complicated nobody can figure them out and be willing to take investment risks. Plus, fedgov has unlimited resources to tie challenges up in court for years and/or until the Democrats can pass bulletproof legislation.

THE MILITARIZATION OF THE U.S. EXECUTIVE AGENCIES [More]
So much for “weapons of war on the streets.” Combined with the demands for citizen disarmament, it doesn’t appear that “commonsense gun safety” is the real goal here.
I missed this resource when it came out. It looks like it’ll come in handy in the future.

More and more Las Vegas guests are reporting the horror stories of traveling to Vegas with their firearms (or not). Here is one of them. [More]

The American Psychological Association on Thursday released a study claiming a link between racism and support for the Second Amendment. [More]
That’s right, we’re not just haters, we’re crazy haters! No leftist agenda there, right? Even when the useful idiots know they’re spouting crap?
There’s a reason why they call us “gun nuts.”
And for all our “moderate Republicans” backing “red flag laws” and mental health blanket dragnets (I’m talking to you, Marco, and to you, John):
How will rights be restored when there is no longer a compelling mental health reason to deny them? Who are the psychiatric evaluators, the risk management administrators, and the insurers who will be both sympathetic and willing to subject themselves to malpractice liabilities if they guess wrong?
Chuck gets the final word on this:
