Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

The Department of Justice is proposing to amend Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) regulations to require that any person who stores explosive materials notify on an annual basis the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials are being stored of the type of explosives, magazine capacity, and location of each site where such materials are stored. In addition, the proposed rule requires any person who stores explosive materials to notify the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials were stored whenever storage is discontinued. These changes are intended to increase public safety. [More]

That’s awful similar to the “justification” given last time…

You’d expect that of “national socialists.”

It would be interesting to see how many Antifa connections there are.

The King’s Deer

Indeed, one of my favorite ironies is that self-proclaimed conservative and libertarian Americans who otherwise never miss an opportunity to resent government regulation happily participate in one of the most heavily regulated activities in America. [More]

Think of it as the Fudd Paradox.

It’s what allows for subversive useful idiot groups like “Sportsmen for Biden.”

Polyphemus may have said he’ll eat them last, but eat them he intends, and in his own good time.

Shot Full of Lead

A federal court on Friday rejected a long-fought effort by environmental groups to force a ban on lead ammo in a national forest, providing a key win for hunters, the National Rifle Association, and the United States Forest Service. [More]

It’s been a long time coming. Last night I brought out the Center for Biological Diversity gorilla hand ashtray to celebrate.

Now sue them.

It’s a Feature, Not a Bug

It should be more than obvious that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that credulous GOP Senator John Cornyn shepherded into law along with Connecticut’s Chris Murphy was nothing but a stalking horse for expanding the federal government’s regulation of firearms. [More]

Is “folly” the right word here?

Real Culprit Identified!

White gunman who shot three Black victims legally acquired weapons after Ron DeSantis recently allowed permitless carry [More]

Yeah, I remember how thrilled we all were when Ohio passed a similar law saying “Constitutional carry” meant we could also murder groups we hate after being involuntarily committed and released!

It’s not like their convict forefathers had much say in the matter…

I guess generational rule by wardens is a tough conditioning to break.

Ulterior Motives

FIREARM MARKETING BANS REALLY ABOUT ERASING NEXT GENERATION’S GUN RIGHTS [More]

Yeah, that’s a goal, but I’d say it’s really about banning speech to facilitate thought control.

It’s about tyranny.

That’s what NSSF doesn’t get when it thinks it can partner with monsters that won’t ultimately turn on them.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Profit’ Is

Clarifying that the intent to “predominantly earn a profit” does not require the person to have received pecuniary gain… [More]

That’s something else government “monetary policy” makes difficult. The thought strikes that I (hypothetically, because I don’t admit to owning guns in a forum accessible to “law enforcement”) bought a 44 Magnum Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk off a guy from work back in 1978 for around $175 as I recall ( or would recall if this wasn’t hypothetical) and today that model used goes for around $600.

Seems like a tidy profit, no?

Hold the phone:

When using the core inflation measurement, $1 in 1978 is equivalent in buying power to $4.68 in 2023, a difference of $3.68.

The way I see it, I’d be taking a substantial loss.

I’m reminded of the strange case of former FBI Agent John Shipley (note internal links will need to be accessed through the Wayback Machine).

In the case of those feeding at the citizen disarmament trough, I’m reminded of Mark 8:36.

And yeah, one gun could trigger things…

Delaware Judge Orders DOJ & Hunters Lawyers to Hand Over Gun Indictment

Unlawfully usurping authority isn’t the only thing the government is trying to hide in this case, and by that, I mean in relation to guns. [More]

Two big questions concerning unlawful government practices allegations will remain unanswered if a stonewalling DOJ has it’s way and Republicans continue their deliberate indifference.
