Here Comes the Second Amendment Revolution in New Jersey [Watch]

A Forced Reset
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) confirmed to a judge that it will not return Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) to Nevada or other plaintiff states. Rare Breed Triggers, the largest U.S. supplier of FRTs, also confirmed it will not sell these devices in the plaintiff states. Consequently, the coalition is withdrawing its motion for a preliminary injunction. [More]
AG Aaron Ford doesn’t seem to grok that citizen ownership of “devices designed only to kill” makes tyrants think twice. On second thought, maybe he does. (Thanks for voting Democrat, Clark County! And I’m also glad to see Trump protecting illegals cleaning toilets for the elites is a bigger priority than honoring a pledge to his base.)
And we now see how far to the mat Bondi’s DOJ and the new and improved ATF are willing to go.
Who keeps the citizens’ unreturned property, and what will they do with it?

Related UPDATE
Speaking of “clearly disagree[ing] on the Second Amendment,] how does caving to plaintiff states and banning FRTs in handguns comply with “shall not be infringed”?
War of Words
Democrats’ ‘violent rhetoric’ is precisely the point [More]
Words have meaning.
They can inspire.
And they can come back to haunt.
Those egging on violence would do well to remember that.
Another One Bites the Dust
All in all, there is hardly any evidence that handgun waiting period laws make a difference in homicides or suicides… As far as suicides are concerned, they have no effect on either gun suicide rates or total suicide rates. [More]
Another prohibitionist bit of calculated misdirection, that is…
Everybody here is totally aware of Gun Facts and relies on it as a go-to resource, right?
Sleeping with the Enemy
As with every anti-firearm “political agreement” at the UN, had it succeeded, U.S. manufacturers, retailers and users would be forced to comply with a global regulatory regime that no Congress ever approved and no American citizen voted for. [More]
How, without complicity and betrayal by the U.S. government?
Naturally, NSSF is all for international engagement.
I’ve made my views on giving foreign prohibitionists any say at all clear, bringing this rebuke from an NRA flack:
Yet despite this, those like David Codrea, in an article in the September 2003 issue of “Guns and Ammo”, would continue to council disengagement, retreat from the global battlefield, and a kind of pseudo-isolationism that fails to recognize that there are no protective oceans to hide behind in a world-wide battle of ideas. It is apparently more important for Codrea and his ilk to maintain an ideological purity of thought, rather than achieve any of the incremental positional successes that could best guarantee eventual victory. What is more, it is hard to imagine how an almost Islamist-like exclusionary world-view will enable the Codreas of the world to convert more than the occasional wandering “Aryan” to the paradise of a rapidly diminishing gunowner “reservation”.
The only response to globalist gun-grabbers is, “No. Your move.” And any trade pressure should be met with crushing pressure of or own.
Our Hero!
This was a heroic action by the employee and undoubtedly saved who knows how many lives. [More]
So the position of the industry is “gun control” works but NICS needs a vigilante assist?
Doesn’t that also play into the hands of lawfaring gun-grabbers who argue dealers without psychic abilities are negligent and liable? And can they still do that if the person is the “wrong” color?
I note they’re prosecuting the guy for lying on the 4473. Guess he didn’t have the right dad.
Mystery to Me
Police in Kentucky are searching for a motive after a gunman shot and killed two women at a church on Sunday, also injuring a state trooper. [More]
Assuming this is really him, I wonder…
And you’d better believe the left would love to be able to exploit this.
All I know for sure is, depending on “the authorities” and establishment media means motives that don’t support the official narrative can be and stay buried.
We’re the Only Ones Opportunistic Enough
Blue city officers flocking to cop-friendly red states, police leader says: ‘Why would anyone stay?’ FOP vice president reveals why law enforcement is abandoning Democrat-run areas for greener pastures [More]
Do they bring blue state police union “us first” anti-gun attitudes with them?
We Didn’t Start the Fire
Mr. Codrea, why’d you bring the Libertarians into this? [More]
They brought themselves into it. I merely pointed out their position and its demonstrable effects.
Down the Memory Hole
Glock Catalog Update/NSSF Leadership- Interesting People … Should I thank or curse Codrea for writing that blog post of his which sent me down an all night rabbit hole? [More]
Oh, I have much deeper holes I could send you down, and plenty of ’em…🙂
Lord willing, there’ll be more to dig before I put the shovel down.
Speaking of holes and blasts from the past…
One thing about the wildly lucrative world of Second Amendment advocacy (besides the steak and lobster dinners every night and the endless parade of Victoria’s Secret supermodels I keep having to remind I’m married): You never go wanting for source material.

The Buck Stops There
Democrat lawmakers have said that their voters are now threatening “blood” and “violence” over their inability to stop President Donald Trump from continuing forward with his agenda. [More]
I guess that’s one way to point fingers away from their own rhetoric that the less self-restrained of their constituents are responding to.

New York Jets’ Sauce Gardner Goes Gun Shopping for AR-15 and Other Firearms [More]
He doesn’t appear to be a knee-jerk “liberal.”

Out of Network
Let’s be blunt: the FBI’s JTTFs have disrupted plots targeting New York, Boston, and cities across the country. They are essential to homeland security. Pulling out of that network—especially now—is the domestic equivalent of turning off radar at Pearl Harbor. [More]
Far be it from me to laud fusion centers.
That said, if and when “it” happens, odds are it will be where the odds of success are greatest.

We’re the Only Ones Searching Enough
FOX 2 has learned the names of individuals who a former police chief is accused of misusing the Regional Justice Information System database. Hundreds of people were allegedly searched without their knowledge and without probable cause. [More]
At least he didn’t have “ICE” in the query field…
Ain’t it something’? Two stories today about how those entrusted with surveillance powers can’t be…

Be It Resolved
While you’re at it, open up a real investigation against the former Boundary County prosecutor.
Why did his lame excuses for dropping charges ring so hollow?
Was he compromised by forgery charges?

We’re the Only Ones Inadvertent Enough
[T]wo searches from the ATF analyst inadvertently accessed Illinois vehicle data with “ICE” in the query field which is a violation of Illinois law. [More]
From the folks who brought us “Zero Tolerance” for FFLs.
Still, the question needs to be raised as to who is being protected by making that illegal…
