Holding Pattern

U.S. Department of Justice Announces Second Amendment Pattern-or-Practice Investigation into California’s Los Angeles County [More]

Good, but why California and not Illinois?

I’ll be using this as a springboard to help introduce yet another effort to get their attention on denial of rights in an article I’ll be finishing up this weekend.

Over a Barrel

Commencing on July 1, 2026, this bill would, except as specified, prohibit the sale or transfer of a firearm barrel, as defined, unless the transaction is completed in person by a licensed firearms dealer. The bill would require the licensed firearms dealer to conduct a background check of the purchaser or transferee and to record specified information pertaining to the transaction, including the date of the sale or transfer. [More]

How would they know you didn’t do your transactions out of state?

None Dare Call It Bipolar

The FDIC will eliminate “reputational risk” from regulatory standards. Since President Obama began “Operation Choke Point,” Democrats and anti-gun financial institutions have weaponized “reputational risk” to de-bank the gun industry. [More]

See? Back and forth, back and forth…

‘Will You Walk into My Parlour?’ Said the Spider to the Fly

“Not Today, Satan!”: Ex-FBI Agent Finds Possible ATF Honeypot Website Operation Selling Glock Switches [More]

I wouldn’t be so sure it’s the feds.

I wouldn’t put it past the antis to do something like this so they could report any low-hanging fruit placing orders.

Common ‘Law’

N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]

I hate to say I told you so.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Whistle)

But this is NOT a major loss for 2A or gun rights. First, it is not a 2A case so it does matter at all to Heller/Bruen analysis. Second, SCOTUS clearly left open the door for Trump to repeal the Biden ATF regulations (or even rewrite them in a very favorable way for the “home-made gun” industry… [More]

Regardless of how it was presented, this definitely is an infringement on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And the next administration can undo any rule change this one makes.

Not the first time I’ve questioned this guy…

Herschel has some thoughts.

We’re the Only Ones ‘Cop’rophilic Enough

Police chief pooped by desks, spiked coffee with Viagra, cops say in list of assault complaints [More]

He was trusted to carry a gun while citizens whose rights New Jersey Democrat prohibitionists $h!+ on weren’t.

In all the 30+ years I was employed, the thought of doing something like this never crossed my mind, but then, I don’t have the superior training.

Maybe “Taking a Farley” should become a thing.

Current Wild Swings of the Gun Control Pendulum

Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed. [More]

All this back-and-forth has got to stop.

Big Win for Pam Bondi!

The Supreme Court sided with the federal government’s effort to regulate so-called ghost gun kits for making untraceable weapons. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for seven justices upholding federal regulation, over dissent from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. [More]

Here.

How DOJ squares that with “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” has not been stated.

Like Sands Through the Hourglass…

We Are Running Out Of Time… The current Republican response to these attacks has been to send out ludicrous form emails and newsletters telling people to “flood the Democrat’s” inboxes. While we would like to chalk this up to stupidity and the magical thinking of 5 year olds, we cannot. This is cowardice and a cynical attempt at job security. [More]

Most gun groups still haven’t learned what a waste that is, unless you want to give safe seat Democrats a good laugh.

UPDATE

Another Bait And Switch. [More]

And She’s Getting Away With It, Too

Yet again MORE financial conflicts of interest with IL Supreme Court Justice Rochford [More]

Not that the new and improved DOJ cares…

Abusive Discretion picked it up, but none of the “gun groups” are incentivized to mention it.

Democrat ‘Civil War’ Means Party and Its Demands on Guns Will Move Farther to the Left

While the country as a whole may not be ready for an AOC White House bid, a potential coalition builder like Wes Moore is another matter altogether. [More]

They’re looking for someone even the radicals won’t attack. And counting on Republicans to blow it in the midterms through to ’28…

And Thank You for Your Service

Sens. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have introduced legislation that would protect the Second Amendment rights of veterans who seek help at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). [More]

Because:

While state laws vary significantly about who is required to report an individual to NICS, if the appropriations rider preventing this expires without replacement on March 14, 2025, VA may report people to NICS without a court order, as mental incompetency determinations for veterans are determined through an administrative, rather than judicial process.

Only a “4% chance of being enacted“…?

It seems that’s something that could be used against Democrats…
